Gênesis 36:25-30 NVT

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Genesis 36:20-30

In the midst of this genealogy of the Edomites here is inserted the genealogy of the Horites, those Canaanites, or Hittites (compare Gen. 26:34), that were the natives of Mount Seir. Mention is made of them, Gen. 14:6; and of their interest in Mount Seir, before the Edomites took possession of it, Deut. 2:12, 22.

And the children of Anah were these ,.... Dishon , the name of one of his uncles. Genesis 36:21 , and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah ; Aben Ezra thinks this is not the same Anah that was mentioned in the beginning of this verse; since, if he was the same, there was no need to mention him again, but that he is the same that is mentioned in Genesis 36:2 ; but if he is not the same that is spoken of in this verse and Genesis 36:24 , it is difficult to account for the mention of... read more

These are the dukes that came of the Horites ,.... Not that succeeded one after another, as the kings next mentioned did, but were together, at the same time, heads of respective families, and governors of them; and then the seven sons of Seir are rehearsed in this verse and Genesis 36:30 in their order, with the title of "duke" annexed to each of them, "Duke Lotan", &c.; read more

These are the dukes that came of Hori ,.... The ancestor of Seir, whence he is called the Horite, unless the singular is put for the plural, used in Genesis 36:29 , among their dukes in the land of Seir ; not that there were other dukes besides them in the land of Seir until Esau got among them, but these were they whose habitations were before in the land of Gabla (or Seir); as the Targum of Jonathan paraphrases it; or "in", or "according to their dukedoms", as the Septuagint... read more
