CHAPTER 36
Ge 36:1-43. Posterity of Esau.
1. these are the generations--history of the leading men and events (compare Ge 2:4).
Esau who is Edom--A name applied to him in reference to the peculiar color of his skin at birth [Ge 25:25], rendered more significant by his inordinate craving for the red pottage [Ge 25:30], and also by the fierce sanguinary character of his descendants (compare Eze 25:12; Ob 10).
