Engendró, pues , de Hodes su mujer, a Jobab, Sibia, Mesa, Malcam,
Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 9. He begat of Hodesh his wife] In the preceding verse it is said that Hushim and Baara were his wives
; and here it is said he begat of Hodesh his wife, &c. And then his children by Hushim are mentioned, but not a word of Baara! It is likely therefore that Hodesh was another name for Baara, and this is asserted by the Targum: And he begot of Baara, that is Chodesh, his wife; so called because he espoused her anew. It is supposed that he had put her away before, and now remarried her.

Many great and mighty nation then were in being upon earth, and many illustrious men, whose name are now wholly forgotten; while the names of multitudes of the Israe of God are here kept in everlasting remembrance. The memory of the jus is blessed _________________________________________________
