Basemath Basemath

There are two Basemaths mentioned in the Bible. The first is a wife of Esau. The second is a daughter of Solomon (1 Ki 4:15)

The name Basemath comes from the word bosem (basam 290a) meaning spice, sweet smell. The added letter t may be a remnant of a plural form. That way the name Basemath means Sweet Fragrances.
