What does Genesis 36:5 mean?
This and the previous verse (Genesis 36:4) list the names of Esau's five sons. These main descendants of Esau will form a nation called Edom (Genesis 36:1). Esau's twin brother, Jacob, was also given a different name (Genesis 35:10): Israel. In time, Israelites and Edomites will come to hate each other (Numbers 20:14–21; 1 Samuel 14:47; 2 Kings 8:20; Obadiah 1:8–11).The name Jeush means something like "may God help."
Jalam is an awkward name to translate but may refer to something like a "mountain goat."
Korah, also, is not clear, but may mean "bald head."
