Who was Timnah?


Eliphaz's concubine

These are the names of Esau's sons; Eliphaz, Eliphaz... And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz.... Genesis 36:10-12

Eliphaz's son.

The sons of Esau; Eliphaz.....The sons of Eliphaz ... Timnah.... 1 Chronicles 1:35-36

Lotan's sister

These are the sons of Seir the Horite, who inhabited the land; Lotan ... and Lotan's sister was Timna. Genesis 36:20-22

The sons of Seir; Lotan ... and Timna was Lotan's sister. 1 Chronicles 1:38-39


Both of these verses come from lists of Esau's descendants, so it seems likely Timnah that refers to the same person.
