L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 36:1-43

THE FAMILY OF ESAU This chapter deals with the generations of Esau. Verse 6 tells us that he took his wives, family, and all his possessions, leaving the land of Canaan, going "from the face of his brother Jacob." The man "after the flesh" cannot dwell together with the one who is chosen by God. Yet Esau (Edom) prospers and develops greatly in a material way, his sons becoming "dukes" (vs.15-43) before Jacob's family attain such honor (except for Joseph in Egypt). We must remember that Joseph... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Genesis 36:1-43

JACOB ’S CHILDREN , ESAU ’S MEMOIRS THE WICKEDNESS OF JACOB’S SONS (Genesis 34:0 ) In the last lesson Jacob’s altar at Shechem proclaims God to be his God, but (as another says) it is evident he has not gotten the power of this name for he is walking in his own ways still, as his house at Succoth and his purchase at Shechem testify. So new sorrow and discipline must come. Dinah represents the young women of today who want to see the world and have their fling. Her conduct was indiscreet,... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Genesis 36:31-43

The Kings of Edom v. 31. And these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before there reigned any king over the children of Israel, up to the time that the children of Israel began the conquest of Canaan, for it was at that time that Moses wrote this account. v. 32. And Bela, the son of Beor, reigned in Edom; and the name of his city was Dinhabah. v. 33. And Bela died, and Jobab, the son of Zerah of Bozrah, reigned in his stead. This city was very important, being considered one of... 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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 36:31-39

The Kings Who Reigned in the Land of Edom (Genesis 36:31-39 ). We have no means of knowing over what period these kings reigned other than that it was before a king reigned over the children of Israel. The kingship was clearly a kingship that depended on the quality of the candidates rather than on dynastic succession. It was necessary for the king to be a capable war leader for the people needed to be able to defend themselves and themselves probably engaged in raids. With people like Esau... read more

Arthur Peake

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

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Genesis 36:1-43

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
