What does Genesis 36:35 mean?

This section of verses lists the kings of Edom during a time before Israel had kings of her own. After the death of Husham, Hadad, son of Bedad, took the throne. He reigned from the city of Avith.

Hadad was known for his military victory over Midian in the country of Moab. Later, the Israelites would also win a remarkable victory over the Midianites (Judges 7). Meanwhile, Midianite traders will be the ones to buy and sell Joseph, a son of Jacob, from his brothers (Genesis 37:28, 36). The Midianites will also plague Israel after they leave Egypt (Exodus 12:40; Numbers 25:16–18).
