Aholibamah
Oholibamah — a personal name appearing in the Hebrew Bible, most notably as the wife of Esau and the matriarch of several Edomite clans. The name is a compound meaning 'tent of the high place' or possibly 'my tent is on the high place.' This reflects a connection to the root concepts of a tent (dwelling) and a high place (elevated site, often associated with worship or ancestral gathering). In usage, always denotes a female individual from an Edomite or Seirite background.
