ADAH (^T't)-— !• f^ne of the two wives of Lamech, antl mother of .lalial and .lubal ((in 4"''-")- 'I'he name possibly denoted 'brightness' (cf. Arab. t/hadSt), Cain's other wife being named ' Zillah,' or ' Shadow,' ' Darkness.' These names have been cited to support the view of the mythological basis of the Genesis narr.itive. Hut the name may simply denote 'adornment' (Lenorniiint, Le,i Oriijines, p. 183 f.). According to .los. (Ant. i. ii. 2)"Lamech

ADAIAH

had 77 sons bom to him of Adah and Zillah. 2. Daughter of Elon, a Hittite, and one of the wives of Esau (Gn 36^) ; mother of Eliphaz, and ances- tress of Edomite tribes, Teman, Zejiho, Gatam, Kenaz, Amalek. In Gn 26" (P) the daughter of Elon the Hittite, whom Esau takes to wife, is named Basemath. The names in Gn 36 have suffered in the process of redaction, and this may account for the confusion. Jos. {Ant. II. i. 2), though mentioning Esau's age, and therefore referring to Gn 26^*, gives Adah and Oholibamah ('AXi^i/iij) as the names of Esau's wives. For a discussion on the name, see Baethgen's Beitrdge, p. 149.
