Esaú tomó sus mujeres de las hijas de Canaán: a Ada, hija de Elón, el heteo, y a Aholibama, hija de Aná, hijo de Zibeón, el heveo;
Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 2. His wives
] It appears that Esau's wives
went by very different names. Aholibamah is named Judith, chap. xxvi. 34; Adah is called Bashemath in the same place; and she who is here called Bashemath is called Mahalath, chap. xxviii. 9. These are variations which cannot be easily accounted for; and they are not of sufficient importance to engross much time. It is well known that the same persons in Scripture are often called by different names. See the Table of variations, chap. 25., where there are some slight examples. See on ""chap. xxv. 18"".
Anah the daughter of Zibeon] But this same Anah is said to be the son of Zibeon, ver. 24, though in this and ver. 14 he is said to be the daughter of Zibeon. But the Samaritan, the Septuagint, (and the Syriac, in ver. 2,) read son instead of daughter, which Houbigant and Kennicott contend to be the true reading. Others say that daughter should be referred to Aholibamah, who was the daughter of Anah, and granddaughter of Zibeon. I should rather prefer the reading of the Samaritan, Septuagint, and Syriac, and read, both here and in ver. 14, ""Aholibamah, the daughter of Anah the SON of Zibeon,"" and then the whole will agree with ver. 24.
Matthew Henry Commentary
- Esau and his descendants.
--The registers in this chapter show the faithfulness of God to his promise to Abraham. Esau is here called Edom, that name which kept u the remembrance of his selling his birth-right for a mess of pottage Esau continued the same profane despiser of heavenly things. In outwar prosperity and honour, the children of the covenant are often behind and those that are out of the covenant get the start. We may suppose in a trial to the faith of God's Israel, to hear of the pomp and power of the kings of Edom, while they were bond-slaves in Egypt; but those tha look for great things from God, must be content to wait for them; God' time is the best time. Mount Seir is called the land of their possession. Canaan was at this time only the land of promise. Seir wa in the possession of the Edomites. The children of this world have their all in hand, and nothing in hope, Lu 16:25; while the children of God have their all in hope, and next to nothing in hand. But, all things considered, it is beyond compare better to have Canaan in promise, than mount Seir in possession _________________________________________________
