Aholibamah
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aholibamah (אָהֳלִיבָמָה "My tabernacle of/is height/exaltation", Standard Hebrew Oholivama, Tiberian Hebrew ʼOhŏlîḇāmāh), the name given to Judith, the daughter of Beeri = Anah (Gen. 26:34; 36:2), when she became the wife of Esau. A district among the mountains of Edom, probably near Mount Hor, was called after her name, or it may be that she received her name from the district. From her descended three tribes of Edomites, founded by her three sons.
Aholibamah was also a grand daughter of Cain, beloved by a seraph, who at the Flood bore her away to another planet[citation needed].
In the book 'Many Waters' by Madeline L'Engle, Oholibamah was the daughter of a nephilim (fallen angel). She married into the family of Noah.
