NAALEH.COM and YU TORAH Timnas Trajectory Parshat Vayishlach 5774 By: Mrs. Shira Smiles
At the end of Parashas Vayishlach, Yaacov Avinu encountered Aisav on his way back to Eretz Yisrael and then they parted ways. The Chumash tells us that Aisav settled on Mt.Seir- Asiav is Edom. We are then given the lineage of Aisav, which includes two brief pesukim about Timna. First, we learn that Timna was a concubine of Elifaz, son of Aisav, and she gave birth to Amalek (the ultimate enemy of the Jewish people). Timna is mentioned in a second pasuk, which delineates the inhabitants of Seir: The sister of Lotan was Timna. (Lotan was was a chief of the Horites, in Seir).
