The Horites v. 20. These are the sons of Seir, the Horite, who inhabited the land; after him the country was named, and with his descendants those of Edom mingled: Lotan, and Shobal, and Zibeon, and Anah (this name being both masculine and feminine), v. 21. and Dishon, and Ezer, and Dishan; these are the dukes of the Horites, the children of Seir, in the land of Edom. The Horites, or descendants of Seir, the original inhabitants of the wilderness of Zin, were cave-dwellers arid shared the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Genesis 36:1-43

This is one of the sections of the biblical literature which all of us are tempted to hurry over, because it appears to be almost exclusively a list of names. We may allow that it appears uninteresting, nevertheless it is of great importance, having a very definite place and value in the highways of history. The story of the prolific progeny of "that profane person Esau" is at once startling and solemn. The sons of the flesh would seem to have multiplied far faster than the seed of promise.... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 36:20-30

The Descendants and Chieftains of Seir the Horite (Genesis 36:20-30 ). Seir the Horite was leader of the tribe of Horites who dwelt in Seir, which was presumably named after him. His sons were their chieftains and the daughter of one of them had a daughter who became the wife of Esau. Thus Esau was connected with this powerful family. This explains his ready access to Seir and why he spent some considerable time there, while still helping his father Isaac in tribal affairs. (His connection... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 36:1-43

Genesis 36. Edomite Genealogies, Chieftains, and Kings.— This chapter is not a unity but a compilation with a very complicated literary history behind it. There is an element of P in it, but its extent, the degree in which it is a revision of earlier sources, and the allocation of the other matter, is very uncertain. The historical value of the chapter is great, but the genealogies and lists cannot be discussed here. Some points of interest may be mentioned. There is a strange discrepancy as... read more

CRITICAL NOTES.—Genesis 36:1. Edom.] This is a surname added to his birth-name, Esau. It is the national designation of his descendants.—Genesis 36:2. His wives.] There is considerable difficulty about the names of Esau’s wives. Comparing this account with the previous one in chaps, Genesis 26:34; Genesis 28:9, we find that two of the three names are entirely different. According to Genesis 25:0, Bashemath is daughter of Elon, the Hittite; according to this account she is daughter of Ishmael.... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Genesis 36:1-43

Chapter 36Now in chapter thirty-six, we're not going to bother to go into it in any detail because in it we have the generations of Esau. And they are given in chapter thirty-six just to drop out of the picture. But just to show you the descendants of Esau, the Scripture lists their names and all here in chapter thirty-six. The generations of Esau, who is Edom ( Genesis 36:1 ). Which means red, and he was the father of the Edomites. In verse six, it says, And Esau took his wives, and his sons,... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 36:1-43

Genesis 36:1. The generations. The critics complain of the difficulties in this genealogy, arising from the same person having two names, a custom common to many nations. The ancients assumed new titles on propitious events. Genesis 36:2. Aholibamah the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon; that is, grand daughter or descendant, it being the manner of the ancients to trace their line back to a prince. Genesis 36:3. Bashemath. She is called Mahalath in Genesis 28:9. Genesis 36:4.... read more
