This verse serves as a historical record of Esau's legacy and the continuation of the covenant blessings passed down from Abraham to Isaac and now to Esau. It also sets the stage for the unfolding of God's plan through the line of Jacob, who later becomes Israel.

Genesis 36:4 gen 36:4 gen 36:4 gen 36:4And Adah bare to Esau Eliphaz,.... This son of Esau, according to Jerom (n), is the same with him mentioned in the book of Job, as one of his friends that came to visit him, Job 2:11; and so says the Targum of Jonathan on Gen 36:10; but he rather was the grandson of this man, since he is called the Temanite: and Bashemath bare Reuel; the name is the same with Reuel or Raguel, the name of Jethro; but cannot be the same person as is said by some, for he was a Midianite and not an Edomite, Exo 2:18. (n) Trad. Heb. in Gen. fol. 71. L. tom. 3.
