What does Genesis 36:36 mean? [⇑ See verse text ⇑]
This passage (Genesis 36:31) describes the kings who ruled over Edom (Genesis 36:1). Notably, these rulers controlled their land in an era before Israel had any kings, at all. As Esau's descendants are conquering Seir (Genesis 14:6; Deuteronomy 2:12), Jacob's family will be enslaved in Egypt for centuries (Exodus 12:40), and even when freed will not immediately appoint a king (Judges 21:25).Hadad (Genesis 36:35) died, and Samlah took over as king, ruling from the city of Masrekah.
