1 Exodus 17:8–16 After this, the Amalekites came and attacked the Israelites at Rephidim. So Moses said to Joshua, “Choose some of our men and go out to fight the Amalekites. Tomorrow I will stand on the hilltop with the staff of God in my hand.” Joshua did as Moses had instructed him and fought against the Amalekites, while Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. As long as Moses held up his hands, Israel prevailed; but when he lowered them, Amalek prevailed. When Moses’ hands grew heavy, they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it. Then Aaron and Hur held his hands up, one on each side, so that his hands remained steady until the sun went down. So Joshua overwhelmed Amalek and his army with the sword. Then the LORD said to Moses, “Write this on a scroll as a reminder and recite it to Joshua, because I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.” And Moses built an altar and named it The LORD Is My Banner. “Indeed,” he said, “a hand was lifted up toward the throne of the LORD. The LORD will war against Amalek from generation to generation.”
2 Deuteronomy 25:17–19 Remember what the Amalekites did to you along your way from Egypt, how they met you on your journey when you were tired and weary, and they attacked all your stragglers; they had no fear of God. When the LORD your God gives you rest from the enemies around you in the land that He is giving you to possess as an inheritance, you are to blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven. Do not forget!
3 1 Samuel 15:2–9 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘I witnessed what the Amalekites did to the Israelites when they ambushed them on their way up from Egypt. Now go and attack the Amalekites and devote to destruction all that belongs to them. Do not spare them, but put to death men and women, children and infants, oxen and sheep, camels and donkeys.’” So Saul summoned the troops and numbered them at Telaim—200,000 foot soldiers and 10,000 men of Judah. Saul came to the city of Amalek and lay in wait in the valley. And he warned the Kenites, “Since you showed kindness to all the Israelites when they came up out of Egypt, go on and get away from the Amalekites. Otherwise I will sweep you away with them.” So the Kenites moved away from the Amalekites. Then Saul struck down the Amalekites all the way from Havilah to Shur, which is east of Egypt. He captured Agag king of Amalek alive, but devoted all the others to destruction with the sword. Saul and his troops spared Agag, along with the best of the sheep and cattle, the fat calves and lambs, and the best of everything else. They were unwilling to destroy them, but they devoted to destruction all that was despised and worthless.
4 Numbers 24:18–20 Edom will become a possession, as will Seir, his enemy; but Israel will perform with valor. A ruler will come from Jacob and destroy the survivors of the city.” Then Balaam saw Amalek and lifted up an oracle, saying: “Amalek was first among the nations, but his end is destruction.”

Genesis 36:12 Summary

Genesis 36:12 tells us about Timna, who was a concubine of Eliphaz, Esau's son, and she had a son named Amalek. This verse helps us understand the family tree of Esau and how it fits into the bigger story of the Bible, including the future interactions between the Israelites and the Amalekites (Exodus 17:8-16, Deuteronomy 25:17-19). It reminds us that every person in the Bible, no matter how minor they may seem, is part of God's larger plan, as seen in Romans 8:28. By studying these verses, we can learn more about God's sovereignty and grace in including all people in His story.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who was Timna in the Bible?

Timna was a concubine of Esau's son Eliphaz, and she gave birth to Amalek, as mentioned in Genesis 36:12. This makes her a significant figure in the biblical genealogy, especially in relation to the descendants of Esau.

What is the significance of Amalek in the Bible?

Amalek, the son of Eliphaz and Timna, is notable for being the ancestor of the Amalekites, a nation that would later become a thorn in the side of the Israelites, as seen in Exodus 17:8-16 and Deuteronomy 25:17-19.

How does this verse relate to the broader story of Esau and his family?

Genesis 36:12 provides insight into the family of Esau, highlighting his son Eliphaz and Eliphaz's concubine Timna, showing the complex family dynamics and relationships within Esau's household, which is a part of the larger narrative about Esau and Jacob in the book of Genesis, particularly in Genesis 25:19-34 and Genesis 27:1-40.

What can we learn from the mention of concubines in the Bible?

The mention of concubines, such as Timna, in the Bible, like in Genesis 36:12, teaches us about the social and cultural practices of the time, and it also reminds us of God's sovereignty and grace in including all kinds of people in the biblical narrative, as seen in the stories of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who also had concubines (Genesis 16:1-4, Genesis 22:24, Genesis 30:1-4).

Reflection Questions

  1. What does the inclusion of Timna and her son Amalek in the genealogy of Esau reveal about God's attention to detail in recording human history?
  2. How does the story of Esau's family, including figures like Timna and Amalek, serve as a reminder of the consequences of our choices, similar to the lessons learned from Esau's decisions in Genesis 25:29-34 and Genesis 27:1-40?
  3. In what ways can reflecting on the lives of lesser-known biblical figures like Timna encourage us in our own walk with God, considering the examples of faithfulness and obedience in Hebrews 11:1-40?
  4. What does the biblical account of the Amalekites, descended from Amalek, teach us about the importance of remembering and learning from history, as emphasized in Deuteronomy 25:17-19 and 1 Samuel 15:1-9?

Gill's Exposition on Genesis 36:12

And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz, Esau's son,.... She is said to be the sister of Lotan, the eldest son of Seir the Horite, Genesis 36:22; in 1 Chronicles 1:36 mention is made of Timna among the

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Genesis 36:12

These are the names of Esau's sons; Eliphaz the son of Adah the wife of Esau, Reuel the son of Bashemath the wife of Esau. These are the names of Esau's sons. They were five in number.

Ellicott's Commentary on Genesis 36:12

(12) Amalek.—We have already read of the “field of the Amalekite” in Genesis 14:7. As Balaam describes Amalek as “the beginning of nations” (so the Heb., Numbers 24:20), the race can scarcely have had so ignoble an origin as to have sprung from a concubine of Eliphaz; for we gather from Amos 6:1 that the phrase used by Balaam implied precedence and nobility. It was, moreover, one of the most widely spread races of antiquity, occupying the whole country from Shur, on the borders of Egypt, to Havilah, in Arabia Felix. But probably there was a fusion of some of the Horites with the Amalekites, just as the Kenezites, under Caleb, were fused into the tribe of Judah. For in 1 Chronicles 4:42-43, we find the Simeonites invading Mount Seir, and smiting Amalekites there. Of these Amalekites in Seir, Amalek, the grandson of Esau, was probably the founder; for in Genesis 36:16 he is called a duke, and therefore one district of the country would belong to his descendants, in the same manner as each son of Jacob had a territory called after his name. In this district the chiefs would be Semites of the race of Esau; the mass of the people a blended race of Horites. and Amalekites. There is no difficulty in the absence of their names from Genesis 10. Though Balaam magnified them, they were regarded by Israel, not as a nation, but as a hateful horde of plunderers.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Genesis 36:12

Verse 12. Timna was concubine to Eliphaz] As Timna was sister to Lotan the Horite, Genesis 36:22, we see how the family of Esau and the Horites got intermixed. This might give the sons of Esau a pretext to seize the land, and expel the ancient inhabitants, as we find they did, Deuteronomy 2:12. Amalek] The father of the Amalekites, afterwards bitter enemies to the Jews, and whom God commanded to be entirely exterminated, Deuteronomy 25:17; Deuteronomy 25:19.

Cambridge Bible on Genesis 36:12

12. Amalek] Here a grandson of Esau; but, as the descendant from a concubine, he denotes a subordinate clan. Amalekites infested the Sinaitic Peninsula (Exodus 17:8-15; Deuteronomy 25:17) and harried southern Palestine (1 Samuel 15:2).
