Omar (Hebrew: אוֹמָר ʾŌmār, possibly meaning "eloquent" or "gifted speaker")[1] was the name of a man mentioned in the Bible, the ancestor of a Semitic Edomite and Canaanite clan,[2] the son of Eliphaz (Esau's eldest son). Omar's brothers were Teiman (the name is later associated with Yemen), Zepho, Ga'atam, Kenaz and Amalek.[3] [4]
Esau and his wife Adah (daughter of Elon the Hittite) were his grandparents. Accordingly, he was a great-grandson of Isaac the son of Abraham.
Historically, his name is first mentioned in the Book of Genesis, Chapter 36, verse 11.
