Esau\u2019s progeny- Esau\u2019s genealogy is presented to us in our chapter in surprising detail. Why surprising? Because Esau, as we know, is the brother who is not our patriarch, and even in the best of families, mentioning all the cousins and particularly their wives and descendants should not be taken for granted. And it is even more surprising if we compare the genealogy of our patriarch Jacob, about whom we know much less (has anyone ever heard the name of Simeon\u2019s wife?).<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to the wives and children, our chapter also mentions \u201calufim,\u201d the heads of the tribes or clans: the tribal leads of Esau (verses 15-19), and the tribal leaders of Edom (verses 40-43) and even kings (verses 31-39).<\/span><\/p>\n

Points to Ponder:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. There are women! This is the first genealogical tree in which generation after generation the women of the family are represented. That is, those who entered into marriage with the sons of Esau. The girls that were born, though, are not mentioned.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Twelve. It is a little tricky to count, but try and you will see that Esau has 12 tribal leaders, like the tribes of Ishmael (Chapter 25) and the tribes of Nahor (Chapter 22) and … the tribes of Israel.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. There is story within the genealogical list, in verse 24 – about a man named Anah and what he found in the wilderness.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Our chapter has a chronological perspective that does not fit the time of the story. This is especially evident in verse 31: “These are the kings who reigned in the land of Edom before any king reigned over the Israelites..”<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. There are lots of interesting names. Look for your favorite one.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","image":{"ID":86314,"id":86314,"title":"Points to
