Hazarmaveth is a name appearing in the Hebrew Bible, specifically within the genealogies of the Book of Genesis and the Books of Chronicles.
In Genesis 10:26 and 1 Chronicles 1:20, Hazarmaveth is listed as one of the thirteen sons of Joktan. Joktan is a descendant of Shem, through Arphaxad, Shelah, Eber, and Peleg. The sons of Joktan are generally associated with the progenitors of various tribes and regions in the Arabian Peninsula.
Historically and geographically, Hazarmaveth is widely identified by scholars with the ancient name for the region currently known as Hadhramaut (also Hadramawt or Hadramaut) in southern Arabia, which comprises a significant portion of modern-day Yemen. This identification is supported by linguistic similarities between the biblical name and the Arabic designation for the region. The Hadhramaut region has historically been prominent for its production of frankincense and for its distinctive cultural and historical development.
