What does Genesis 36:32 mean?
This section (Genesis 36:31) lists the kings of Edom (Genesis 36:1) during a time before Israel had monarchs of her own (Judges 21:25).The first of Edom's kings listed is Bela, son of Beor, who reigned from the city of Dinhabah. Later, a man named Balaam, the son of Beor, will have dealings with the Israelites as described in Numbers 22. It's unclear if this Beor is the same mentioned there, though the era and geography may be correct.
