CHAPTER STUDY WORKSPACE

Genesis 36

Genesis 36 records the generations of Esau, who is Edom. The chapter traces wives, sons, chiefs, settlements, Horite connections, and kings who reigned in Edom before any king reigned over Israel. Esau’s household separates from Jacob because their possessions are too great for the land to support them together. The genealogy demonstrates that God’s earlier promises of multiplication to Esau are fulfilled even though the covenant line continues through Jacob.
