The Origins of the Edomites

Esau is Edom, Canaanite, Horeit, Ishmaelite. It's no wonder they hated Israel. Theites have been against Israel from the beginning. This says in verse 9, this is the genealogy of Esau, the father of the Edomites in Mount Sier. These were the names of Esau's son, Eliphaz. He might be the same Eliphaz that was Job's comforter. And if you skip over to verse 33, many believe that the man mentioned here, Jobab, is also a reference to Job, the son of Zara, of Basra,.
