(cornhill) was probably a city of Chaldaea or Babylonia, not of upper Mesopotamia as generally
supposed. (Ezekiel 3:16) The whole scene of Ezekiel’s preaching and visions seems to have been
Chaldaea proper; and the river Chebar, as already observed, was not the Khabour, but a branch of
the Euphrates.
Telah
(vigor), a descendant of Ephraim, and ancestor of Joshua. (1 Chronicles 7:25) (B.C. before
1491.)
Telaim
(lambs), the place at which Saul collected and numbered his forces before his attack on Amalek,
(1 Samuel 16:4) may be identical with Telem, which see.
Telasear
(Assyrian hill) is mentioned in (2 Kings 19:12) and in Isai 37:12 As a city inhabited by “the
children of Eden,”—which had been conquered and was held in the time of Sennacherib, by the
Assyrians. it must have been in western Mesopotamia, in the neighborhood of Harran and Orfa.
Telem
(oppression).
•One of the cities in the extreme south of Judah, (Joshua 15:24) probably the same as Telaim. The
name Dhullam is found in Van Deuteronomy Velde’s map, attached to a district immediately to
the north of the Kubbet el-Baul, south of el Milh and Ar’arah—a position very suitable.
•A porter or doorkeeper of the temple in the time of Ezra. (Ezra 10:24) He is probably the same as
Talmon in (Nehemiah 12:25)
Telharsa, Or Telharesha
(hill of the artificer), one of the Babylonian towns or villages mentioned in (Ezra 2:59; Nehemiah
7:61) along with Tel-melah and Cherub, probably in the low country near the sea.
Telmelah
[TEL-HARSA]
Tema
(a desert), the ninth son of Ishmael, (Genesis 25:15; 1 Chronicles 1:30) whence the tribe called
after him, mentioned in (Job 6:19; Jeremiah 25:23) and also the land occupied by this tribe. (Isaiah
21:13,14) (B.C. after 1850.) The name is identified with Teyma, a small town on the confines of
Syria.
Teman
(the south).
•A son of Eliphaz, son of Esau by Adah. (Genesis 36:11,15,41; 1 Chronicles 1:36,53) (B.C. about
1792.)
•A country, and probably a city, named after the Edomite phylarch, or from which the phylarch
took his name. The Hebrew signifies “south,” etc., see (Job 9:9; Isaiah 43:6) and it is probable
that the land of Teman was a southern portion of the land of Edom, or, in a wider sense, that of
the sons of the east. Teman is mentioned in five places by the prophets, in four of which it is
connected with Edom and in two with Dedan. (Jeremiah 49:7,8; Ezekiel 25:13) Eusebius and
Jerome mention Teman as a town in their day distant 15 miles from Petra, and a Roman post.
