o-hol-i-ba’-ma, o-hol-i-ba’-ma (’oholibhamah, "tent of the high place"):<br /><br />

(1) One of Esau’s wives, and a daughter of Anah the Hivite (<bibleref ref="Gen.36.2">Ge 36:2</bibleref>,<bibleref ref="Gen.36.5">5</bibleref>). It is strange that she is not named along with Esau’s other wives in either <bibleref ref="Gen.28.9">Ge 28:9</bibleref> or 26:30. Various explanations have been given, but none of them is satisfactory. There is probably some error in the text.<br /><br />

(2) An Edomite chief (<bibleref ref="Gen.36.41">Ge 36:41</bibleref>; <bibleref ref="1Chr.1.52">1Ch 1:52</bibleref>).
