Genesis 36 |
 
(36:1-43) "These are the generations of Esau"
Another long, boring genealogy that we are told to avoid in
1 Timothy 1:4 and Titus 3:9 ("Avoid foolish
questions and genealogies.")
 (36:2, 14)
"Anah the daughter of Zibeon"
Who was Anah?
(36:3) "Bashemath Ishmael's daughter"
Who was Bashemath's father?
(36:2-3, 6) "Esau took his wives...."
Esau (Isaac's son) had several wives
(continuing the tradition of polygamy, with no editorial comment from the Bible).
|
| 36:1
Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom.
|
| 36:2
Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah the daughter
of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the
Hivite;
|
| 36:3
And Bashemath Ishmael's daughter, sister of
Nebajoth.
|
| 36:4
And Adah bare to Esau Eliphaz; and Bashemath bare Reuel;
|
| 36:5
And Aholibamah bare Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah: these are the sons of
Esau, which were born unto him in the land of Canaan.
|
| 36:6
And Esau took his wives,
and his sons, and his daughters, and all the persons of his house, and his
cattle, and all his beasts, and all his substance, which he had got in the
land of Canaan; and went into the country from the face of his brother
Jacob.
|
| 36:7
For their riches were more than that they might dwell together; and the
land wherein they were strangers could not bear them because of their
cattle. |
|
| 36:8
Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau is Edom. |
|
| 36:9
And these are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in mount
Seir: |
|
| 36:10
These are the names of Esau's sons; Eliphaz the son of Adah the wife of
Esau, Reuel the son of Bashemath the wife of Esau. |
|
| 36:11
And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenaz. |

And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz Esau's son; and she bare to Eliphaz Amalek:
these were the sons of Adah Esau's wife. |

Amalek was born many years after his descendants were "smitten." (Genesis 14:7)

son of Esau; duke Teman, duke Omar, duke Zepho, duke Kenaz,
