<P> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
In this chapter we have an account of the posterity of Esau, who,
from him, were called Edomites, that Esau who sold his birthright,
and lost his blessing, and was not loved of God as Jacob
was. Here is a brief register kept of his family for some generations.
1. Because he was the son of Isaac, for whose sake this
honour is put upon him.
2. Because the Edomites were neighbours
to Israel, and their genealogy would be of use to give light
to the following stories of what passed between them.
3. It is to
show the performance of the promise to Abraham, that he should
be "the father of many nations," and of that answer which
Rebekah had from the oracle she consulted, "Two nations are
in thy womb," and of the blessing of Isaac, "Thy dwelling
shall be the fatness of the earth." We have here,
I. Esau's wives,
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Ge+36:1-5">ver. 1-5</A>.
II. His remove to mount Seir,
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Ge+36:6-8">ver. 6-8</A>.
III. The names of his sons,
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Ge+36:9-14">ver. 9-14</A>.
IV. The dukes who descended
of his sons,
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Ge+36:15-19">ver. 15-19</A>.
V. The dukes of the Horites,
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Ge+36:20-30">ver. 20-30</A>.
VI. The kings and dukes of Edom,
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Ge+36:31-43">ver. 31-43</A>.
Little more is
recorded than their names, because the history of those that
were out of the church (though perhaps it might have been serviceable
in politics) would have been of little use in divinity. It
is in the church that the memorable instances are found of
special grace, and special providence; for that is the enclosure,
the rest is common. This chapter is abridged,

<FONT SIZE=+1>1 Now these <I>are</I> the generations of
Esau, who <I>is</I> Edom.
&nbsp; 2 Esau
took his wives of the daughters of Canaan;
Adah the daughter of Elon the
Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter
of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the
Hivite;
&nbsp; 3 And Bashemath Ishmael's
daughter, sister of Nebajoth.
&nbsp; 4 And
Adah bare to Esau Eliphaz; and
Bashemath bare Reuel;
&nbsp; 5 And Aholibamah
bare Jeush, and Jaalam, and
Korah: these <I>are</I> the sons of Esau,
which were born unto him in the land
of Canaan.
&nbsp; 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 went into the
country from the face of his brother
Jacob.
&nbsp; 7 For their riches were more
than that they might dwell together;
and the land wherein they were
strangers could not bear them because
of their cattle.
&nbsp; 8 Thus dwelt Esau
in mount Seir: Esau <I>is</I> Edom.
</FONT></P>
<P> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
Observe here,
1. Concerning Esau himself,
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Ge+36:1"><I>v.</I> 1</A>.
He is called <I>Edom</I> (and again,
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Ge+36:8"><I>v.</I> 8</A>),
that name by which was perpetuated
the remembrance of the foolish bargain he
made, when he sold his birthright for <I>that red,
that red pottage.</I> The very mention of that
name is enough to intimate the reason why
his family is turned off with such a short
account. Note, If men do a wrong thing
they must thank themselves, when it is, long
afterwards, remembered against them to their
reproach.
2. Concerning his wives, and the
children they bore him in the land of Canaan.
He had three wives, and, by them all, but five
sons: many a one has more by one wife.
God in his providence often disappoints those
who take indirect courses to build up a family;
yet here the promise prevailed, and
Esau's family was built up.
3. Concerning
his removal to mount Seir, which was the
country God had given him for a possession,
when he reserved Canaan for the seed of Jacob.
God owns it, long afterwards: <I>I gave
to Esau mount Seir</I>
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=De+2:5,Jos+24:4">Deut. ii. 5; Josh. xxiv. 4</A>),
which was the reason why the Edomites must
not be disturbed in their possession. Those
that have not a right by promise, such as
Jacob had, to Canaan, may have a very good
title by providence to their estates, such as
Esau had to mount Seir. Esau had begun
to settle among his wives' relations, in Seir,
before Jacob came from Padan-aram,
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Ge+32:3"><I>ch.</I> xxxii. 3</A>.
Isaac, it is likely, had sent him
thither (as Abraham in his life-time had sent
the sons of the concubines from Isaac his son
into the east country,
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Ge+26:6"><I>ch.</I> xxv. 6</A>),
that Jacob
might have the clearer way made for him to
the possession of the promised land. During
the life of Isaac, however, Esau had probably
still some effects remaining in Canaan; but,
after his death, he wholly withdrew to mount
Seir, took with him what came to his share
of his father's personal estate, and left Canaan
to Jacob, not only because he had the promise
of it, but because Esau perceived that if they
should continue to thrive as they had begun
there would not be room for both. <I>Thus
dwelt Esau in Mount Seir,</I>
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Ge+36:8"><I>v.</I> 8</A>.
Note, Whatever
opposition may be made, God's word
will be accomplished, and even those that
have opposed it will see themselves, some
time or other, under a necessity of yielding
to it, and acquiescing in it. Esau had
struggled for Canaan, but now he tamely
retires to mount Seir; for God's counsels shall
<A NAME="Page210"> </A>
certainly stand, concerning the times before
appointed, and the bounds of our habitation.</P>

Edom, and these <I>are</I> their dukes.
</FONT></P>
<P> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
Observe here,
1. That only the names of
Esau's sons and grandsons are recorded,
only their names, not their history; for it is
the church that Moses preserves the records
of, not the record of those that are without.
Those elders that lived by faith alone obtained
a good report. It is Sion that produces the
men of renown, not Seir,
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Ps+87:5">Ps. lxxxvii. 5</A>.
Nor does the genealogy go any further than
the third and fourth generation; the very
names of all after are buried in oblivion. It
is only the pedigree of the Israelites, who
were to be the heirs of Canaan, and of whom
were to come the promised seed, and the
holy seed, that is drawn out to any length,
as far as there was occasion for it, even of
all the tribes till Canaan was divided among
them, and of the royal line till Christ came.
2. That these sons and grandsons of Esau
are called <I>dukes,</I>
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Ge+36:15-19"><I>v.</I> 15-19</A>.
Probably they
were military commanders, dukes, or captains,
that had soldiers under them; for Esau
and his family lived <I>by the sword,</I>
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Ge+27:40"><I>ch.</I> xxvii. 40</A>.
Note, Titles of honour have been more
ancient out of the church than in it. Esau's
sons were dukes when Jacob's sons were but
plain shepherds,
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Ge+47:3"><I>ch.</I> xlvii. 3</A>.
This is not a
reason why such titles should not be used
among Christians; but it is a reason why
men should not overvalue themselves, or
others, for the sake of them. There is an
honour that comes from God, and a name in
his house that is infinitely more valuable.
Edomites may be dukes with men, but
Israelites indeed are made to our God
kings and priests.
3. We may suppose those
dukes had numerous families of children and
servants that were their dukedoms. God
promised to multiply Jacob, and to enrich
him; yet Esau increases, and is enriched
first. Note, It is no new thing for the men
of this world to be full of children, and to
have their bellies too <I>filled with hidden treasures,</I>
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Ps+17:14">Ps. xvii. 14</A>.
God's promise to Jacob
began to work late, but the effect of it remained
longer, and it had its complete accomplishment
in the spiritual Israel.</P>

these <I>are</I> the dukes <I>that came</I> of
<A NAME="Page211"> </A>
Hori, among their dukes in the land
of Seir.
</FONT></P>
<P> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
In the midst of this genealogy of the Edomites
here is inserted the genealogy of the
Horites, those Canaanites, or Hittites (compare
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Ge+26:34"><I>ch.</I> xxvi. 34</A>),
that were the natives of
Mount Seir. Mention is made of them,
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Ge+14:6"><I>ch.</I> xiv. 6</A>,
and of their interest in Mount Seir,
before the Edomites took possession of it,
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=De+2:12,22">Deut. ii. 12, 22</A>.
This comes in here, not
only to give light to the story, but to be a
standing reflection upon the Edomites for
intermarrying with them, by which, it is
probable, they learned their way, and corrupted
themselves. Esau having sold his
birthright, and lost his blessing, and entered
into alliance with the Hittites, his posterity
and the sons of Seir are here reckoned
together. Note, Those that treacherously
desert God's church are justly numbered
with those that were never in it; apostate
Edomites stand on the same ground with
accursed Horites. Particular notice is taken
of one Anah who fed the asses of Zibeon his
father
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Ge+36:24"><I>v.</I> 24</A>),
and yet is called <I>duke Anah,</I>
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Ge+36:29"><I>v.</I> 29</A>.
Note, Those that expect to rise high
should begin low. An honourable descent
should not keep men from an honest employment,
nor a mean employment hinder any
man's preferment. This Anah was not only
industrious in his business, but ingenious
too, and successful; for he found <I>mules,</I> or
(as some read it) <I>waters, hot-baths,</I> in the
wilderness. Those that are diligent in their
business sometimes find more advantages
than they expected.</P>

</FONT></P>
<P> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
By degrees, it seems, the Edomites wormed
out the Horites, obtained full possession of
the country, and had a government of their
own.
1. They were ruled by kings, who
governed the whole country, and seem to
have come to the throne by election, and not
by lineal descent; so bishop Patrick observes.
These kings reigned in <I>Edom before there
reigned any king over the children of Israel,</I>
that is, before Moses's time, for <I>he was king
in Jeshurun,</I>
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=De+33:5">Deut. xxxiii. 5</A>.
God had lately promised
<I>Jacob that kings should come out of his loins</I>
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Ge+35:11"><I>ch.</I> xxxv. 11</A>),
yet Esau's blood becomes
royal long before any of Jacob's did. Note,
In external prosperity and honour, the children
of the covenant are often cast behind,
and those that are out of covenant get the
start. The triumphing of the wicked may
be quick, but it is short; soon ripe, and as
soon rotten: but the products of the promise,
though they are slow, are sure and lasting;
<I>at the end it shall speak, and not lie.</I> We may
suppose it was a great trial to the faith of God's
Israel to hear of the pomp and power of the
kings of Edom, while they were bond-slaves in
Egypt; but those that look for great things
from God must be content to wait for them;
God's time is the best time.
2. They were
afterwards governed by dukes, again here
named, who, I suppose, ruled all at the same
time in several places in the country. Either
they set up this form of government in conformity
to the Horites, who had used it
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Ge+36:29"><I>v.</I> 29</A>),
or God's providence reduced them to it,
as some conjecture, to correct them for their
unkindness to Israel, in refusing them a
passage though their country,
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Nu+20:18">Num. xx. 18</A>.
Note, When power is abused, it is just with
God to weaken it, by turning it into divers
channels. <I>For the transgression of a land,
many are the princes thereof.</I> Sin brought
Edom from kings to dukes, from crowns to
coronets. We read of the dukes of Edom
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Ex+15:15">Exod. xv: 15</A>),
yet, long afterwards, of their
kings again.
3. Mount Seir is called <I>the land
of their possession,</I>
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Ge+36:43"><I>v.</I> 43</A>.
While the Israelites
dwelt in the house of bondage, and their
Canaan was only the land of promise, the
Edomites dwelt in their own habitations, and
Seir was in their possession. Note, The
children of this world have their all in hand,
and nothing in hope
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Lu+16:25">Luke xvi. 25</A>);
while
<A NAME="Page212"> </A>
the children of God have their all in hope,
and next to nothing in hand. But, all things
considered, it is better to have Canaan in
promise than mount Seir in possession.</P>
