What does Genesis 36:18 mean?
Previous verses listed the names of Esau's sons and grandsons (Genesis 36:9–14). The earlier list was arranged according to birth mothers. This is part of a segment repeating those names as "chiefs" of Edom (Genesis 36:1).These chiefs appear to be major leaders among the Edomites. They include the sons of Esau's wife Oholibamah: Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. The name Korah is listed under two of Esau's wives. It's possible each had a son by the same name.
Genesis 36:9–19 describes the family lines descending from Esau, who was also known as Edom (Genesis 36:1). These are the important families who expanded after he moved his family from Canaan to Seir (Genesis 14:6; Deuteronomy 2:12).
Genesis 36 describes the generations of Esau, mostly focusing on the genealogy and rulers of the land of Edom. Repeatedly, the chapter emphasizes that Esau is Edom, repeating an association made earlier in Genesis (Genesis 25:25, 30). The Edomite people are his descendants. The regions in the land of Edom are named for his offspring. The chapter diverts briefly to give the genealogy of the Horite people (Genesis 14:6) who occupied the land before it was conquered (Deuteronomy 2:12). Finally, the chapter lists eight kings of Edom, along with the chiefs whose names became associated with the regions their clans occupied.
