Genesis 36:5 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 36:5

And Aholibamah bare Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah
In this genealogy mention is made of another Korah among the sons of Eliphaz, ( Genesis 36:16 ) ; which Jarchi thinks is the same with this, and takes him to be a bastard, and begotten in incest by Eliphaz, on his father's wife Aholibamah; but Aben Ezra observes, that some are of opinion that there were two Korahs, one the son of Aholibamah, and the other the son of Adah; but he thinks there were but one, which was the son of Aholibamah, and is reckoned among the sons of Eliphaz, because he dwelt among them; or perhaps his mother died when he was little, and Adah brought him up with her sons, and so was reckoned her son; such were the children of Michal, Saul's daughter: these [are] the sons of Esau, which were born to him in the land of
Canaan;
and we do not read of any born to him elsewhere; so that of all his wives, which some think were four, others five, he had but five sons; what daughters he had is not related, though from ( Genesis 36:6 ) , it appears he had some.

Genesis 36:5 In-Context

3 And Basemath, Ishmael's daughter, the sister of Nebaioth.

4 Adah had a son Eliphaz; and Basemath was the mother of Reuel;

5 Oholibamah was the mother of Jeush, Jalam, and Korah; these are the sons of Esau, whose birth took place in the land of Canaan.

6 Esau took his wives and his sons and his daughters, and all the people of his house, and his beasts and his cattle and all his goods which he had got together in the land of Canaan, and went into the land of Seir, away from his brother Jacob.

7 For their wealth was so great that the land was not wide enough for the two of them and all their cattle.
