What does Genesis 36:16 mean?

In this passage, Genesis lists the names of the chiefs from among the sons and grandsons of Esau. The list includes most of the names already given in the previous verses. Those records noted Esau's sons and grandsons according to which of His wives they were born (Genesis 36:9–14).

These "chiefs" are likely tribal leaders of Edom (Genesis 36:1). They include Eliphaz's sons Teman, Omar, Zepho, Kenaz, and now Korah, Gatam, and Amalek. Of these, Korah was previously said to be the son of Oholibamah. This may be a second Korah previously unmentioned.

The people of Amalek, the Amalekites, would come to be one of Israel's most vicious enemies (Exodus 17:8, 16; Deuteronomy 25:17–19; 1 Samuel 15:2–3).
