GENESIS CHAPTER 36
                          ------------------

Verse 2,
  Adah = "ornament"

      Eliphaz
       2a) also called 'Bashemath'

      who were living in northern Canaan near Mount Hermon at the
      time of the conquest

  Aholibamah was the daughter of Anah who was the son of Zibeon
  and therefore she was also the daughter of Zibeon. Gill points
  out however there is an Anah and a Zibeon who are brothers (see
  vs 20) wherefore Aben Ezra supposes that these two brothers, or
  father and son, lay with the same woman, and it could not be
  known whose child it was that was born of her, and therefore
  this was called the daughter of them both.

      Nebaioth

      Zibeon the Hivite

  Korah = "bald"
    2) the 3rd son of Esau by Aholibamah and one of the dukes of
      Edom

  Canaan = "lowland"
    1) the 4th son of Ham and the progenitor of the Phoenicians
      and of the various nations who peopled the seacoast of
      Palestine
    2) the land west of the Jordan peopled by the descendants of
      Canaan and subsequently conquered by the Israelites under
      Joshua

Verses 6-8, Esau and Jacob could not live in the same land
  because of the abundance of there cattle, etc., so Esau moved
  his entire family to mount Seir.

  Seir = "hairy" or "shaggy"

    (see verse 20)
    1) patriarch of the Horites, the inhabitants of Edom before
      the descendants of Esau, the Edomites
    2) the land of Edom, south of the Dead Sea

  Esau [is] Edom. The word "is" is supplied.
  Gill translates this, "Esau IN Edom."
  Thus Jacob was in Canaan and Esau IN Edom.
