ELIPHAZ
'Eliphaz' ('אֱלִיפַז' / 'אֱלִיפָז' "My God is strength", Standard Hebrew 'Elifaz', Tiberian Hebrew 'ʾĔlîp̄az' / 'ʾĔlîp̄āz') was the first-born son of Esau by his wife Adah. He had six sons, one of whom was Amalek, born to his concubine Timna, who was the ancestral enemy of the Israelite people (Exodus 17:16; Deuteronomy 25:19). The Midrash relates that when Jacob escaped from Esau and fled to his uncle Laban in Haran, Esau sent Eliphaz to pursue and kill Jacob. When they met Jacob implored Eliphaz not to kill him, but Eliphaz challenged that he had his father's instructions to fulfill. Jacob gave everything he had with him to Eliphaz and said, "A poor person is as good as dead." Eliphaz was satisfied and left his uncle naked and penniless, but still alive.
Eliphaz son of Eisav could be Iyov(job's) close friend. In 'The Complex Creation' chapter 14 Roger M. Pearlman connects Zophar to Zippor father of Balak (Numbers 22:2). Moses wrote the book of Iyov(Job)(Talmud Bava Basra 15A-16B).
Moses was 80 the time of the Exodus Torah timelined to 2448 from Creation (1312BCE).
Eliphaz was already old when he visited Iyov.(See comments in Iyov by his attendant Elihu).
Eliphaz was a contemporary of friends Iyov, Zophar, and the descendent of Shuah.
Jacob was born in 2108, 260 years before Moses was born. Jacob was 63 when he left home, then spent 14 years of study in the academy of Shem and Ever. So when he went to Lavan's house in Haran he was 77, 183 years before the birth of Moses. Eliphas eldest son of Jacob's twin brother Eisav was about 17 when sent to get Jacob.
So Eliphas lived 200 years if he lived till the birth of Moses.
In the Complex Creation, chapter 9 demonstrates why 100-200 was a typical full low stress lifespan for those born at that time. Building radiation levels post flood kept halving lifespans every generation from around 900 till current levels were reached around the birth of Moses. Keep that in mind in order to accurately calibrate isotope dating over 3,300 years.
So it is reasonable to suspect Eliphas the son of Eisav could have visited Iyov after Pharo decreed to cast all male babies in the water.
