Strong's Lexicon Tema: Tema Original Word: תֵּימָא Word Origin: Derived from the root word תָּמַם (tāmam), meaning "to be complete" or "to be finished." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew "Tema" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew context. Usage: The term "Tema" refers to both a person and a region in the Bible. As a person, Tema is one of the sons of Ishmael, making him a descendant of Abraham through Hagar (Genesis 25:15). As a region, Tema is associated with a desert oasis, likely located in the northern Arabian Peninsula. The name is often used to denote the people or tribe descended from Ishmael's son. Cultural and Historical Background: Tema was an important caravan city in ancient times, situated on trade routes that connected the Arabian Peninsula with the broader Near Eastern world. The region was known for its strategic location and served as a hub for commerce and cultural exchange. The people of Tema were likely involved in trade and had interactions with neighboring tribes and nations.
