36:2 Esau took his wives from the Canaanites: 1 Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah the daughter of Anah and granddaughter 2 of Zibeon the Hivite,
36:14 These were the sons of Esau’s wife Oholibamah the daughter of Anah and granddaughter 3 of Zibeon: She bore Jeush, Jalam, and Korah to Esau.
36:20 These were the sons of Seir the Horite, 4 who were living in the land: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah,
1 tn Heb “from the daughters of Canaan.”
2 tn Heb “daughter,” but see Gen 36:24-25.
3 tn Heb “daughter,” but see Gen 36:24-25.
4 sn The same pattern of sons, grandsons, and chiefs is now listed for Seir the Horite. “Seir” is both the name of the place and the name of the ancestor of these tribes. The name “Horite” is probably not to be identified with “Hurrian.” The clan of Esau settled in this area, intermarried with these Horites and eventually dispossessed them, so that they all became known as Edomites (Deut 2:12 telescopes the whole development).
