This is the account of Esau (that is, Edom). Esau took his wives from the women of Canaan…
Oops. Wrong answer.
Esau took his wives and sons and daughters…and moved to a land some distance from his brother Jacob. Their possessions were too great for them to remain together…
Too many blessings to be trapped in one place. Sound familiar? Like Abraham and Lot, perhaps?
This is the account of Esau the father of the Edomites in the hill country of Seir.
And now we get some good old genealogy, since it has been awhile since our last batch. And this isn’t even of the main line either, but simply a brief glimpse into Esau’s family. We see his sons, make note of who was important and what kind of roles they had, and take a look at the other people who lived in the area. We see Seir and his line who were already there, as well as the line of kings that ruled the region. And at the end, we get one last list of other important chiefs that will come from Esau, and wrap up with an acknowledgement.
This was Esau the father of the Edomites.
