The names are those of Esau\u2019s sons whose ancestry is given in terms of their mothers. \u00a0The names include Esau\u2019s grandchildren and the leaders of the clans associated with Esau. These large families, the people of Seir, Esau\u2019s territory, and their kings, and again their families: what\u2019s it all about? There seems to be no rhyme or reason behind the detailed history of Esau.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps this is the Torah&#8217;s way of telling us that Edom (Esau\u2019s territory) &#8211; despite all that we think about this people which will be explained shortly &#8211; is made up of people with names and mothers and sisters. Perhaps no one there in Edom has done anything important that is worthy of recording except Anah (the second one) \u201cwho discovered the hot springs in the wilderness while pasturing the asses of his father Zibeon\u201d (Genesis 36:24). Perhaps the Torah is not interested in telling us the line of Esau in detail, so it tells us the main thing, i.e. the names of the people and the families.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get your tongue twisted around some of those names &#8211;Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, Kenaz, Jeush, Jalam, Korah&#8211;says the Torah, one name after another, each forming a family, together making up Edom. For, behind every nation, there are a lot of people, with a mother and father and a brother and a concubine and a sister and two sons and a daughter. \u00a0Behind every nation, there are a lot of people with names.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, it may be that when all is said and done, this nation as a group, a society, a culture, develops \u00a0problematic norms. Perhaps it will be only towards us, but behind every large group that looks upon first or second glance like one uniform nation, there are many individuals with names and mothers. Each of them can choose to be different. Perhaps the one that will choose to be different will be a woman.<\/span><\/p>\n","image":{"ID":74937,"id":74937,"title":"ez33-difference","filename":"ez33-difference.jpg","filesize":0,"url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/ez33-difference.jpg","link":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/ezekiel-the-individualist\/ez33-difference\/","alt":"","author":"7","description":"","caption":"","name":"ez33-difference","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":74935,"date":"2020-05-19
