ALIAH [ISBE]
ALIAH - a-li'-a (`alyah): One of the dukes, or heads of thousands of Edom (1 Ch 1:51). In Gen 36:40 the name is Alvah (`alwah), the only difference being the change of the weaker w, of Gen to the somewhat stronger, y, of the later Chronicles, a change which is not infrequent in Hebrew. He is not to be confused, as in HDB, with the Alian of the same chapter.
ALVAH [ISBE]
ALVAH - al'-va (`alwah): A chief (the King James Version duke) of Edom (Gen 36:40), called "Aliah" in 1 Ch 1:51. Probably the same as Alvan, or Ahan, son of Shobal son of Seir (Gen 36:23; 1 Ch 1:40).
