Ge 36:1
36:1 Now these [are] {a} the generations of Esau, who [is] Edom.

     (a) This genealogy declares that Esau was blessed
         physically and that his father's blessing took place in
         worldly things.

Ge 36:2
36:2 Esau took his wives of the {b} daughters of Canaan; Adah
     the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the
     daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite;

     (b) Besides those wives spoken of in @Ge 26:34.

Ge 36:6
36:6 And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters,
     and all the persons of his house, and his cattle, and all
     his beasts, and all his substance, which he had got in the
     land of Canaan; and {c} went into the country from the face
     of his brother Jacob.

     (c) In this, God's providence appears, which causes the
         wicked to give place to the godly, that Jacob might
         enjoy Canaan according to God's promise.

Ge 36:15
36:15 These [were] {d} dukes of the sons of Esau: the sons of
      Eliphaz the firstborn [son] of Esau; duke Teman, duke
      Omar, duke Zepho, duke Kenaz,

      (d) If God's promises are so sure towards those who are
          not of his household, how much more will he perform
          the same for us?

Ge 36:20
36:20 These [are] the sons of Seir the Horite, who {e} inhabited
      the land; Lotan, and Shobal, and Zibeon, and Anah,

      (e) Esau lived there before that.

Ge 36:24
36:24 And these [are] the children of Zibeon; both Ajah, and
      Anah: this [was that] Anah that found the {f} mules in the
      wilderness, as he fed the asses of Zibeon his father.

      (f) Who not contented with those kinds of beasts, which
          God had created, discovered the monstrous generation
          of mules between the ass and the mare.

Ge 36:31
36:31 And these [are] the {g} kings that reigned in the land of
      Edom, before there reigned any king over the children of
      Israel.

      (g) The wicked rise up suddenly to honour and perish as
          quickly: but the inheritance of the children of God
          continues forever, @Ps 102:28.

Ge 36:37
36:37 And Samlah died, and Saul of {h} Rehoboth [by] the river
      reigned in his stead.

      (h) Which is by the river Euphrates.

Ge 36:43
36:43 Duke Magdiel, duke Iram: these [be] the dukes of Edom,
      according to their habitations in the land of their
      possession: he [is] Esau the father of the {i} Edomites.

      (i) Of Edom came the Idumeans.
