Notes

Genesis 36:20–30

Seir the Horite was among the early people of the land. His descendants lived in that region until Esau and his descendants moved in and drove them out (Deuteronomy 2:12).

Genesis 36:9–43

This passage begins a second account of Esau’s descendants (36:1). It introduces a new list of his family line and traces his descendants through later generations. It also records marriages and alliances

Genesis 36:1–43

Genesis now turns to the story of Isaac’s sons. It first finishes the account of Esau’s line (chapter 36), who was not chosen. Then it continues with the line of Jacob (chapter 37), whom God chose.
