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

4 Und Ada gebar dem Esau Eliphas, und Basmath gebar Reghuel.

5 Und Oholibama gebar Jeghusch und Jaghlam und Korach. Das sind die Söhne Esaus, welche ihm im Lande Kanaan geboren wurden.

6 Und Esau nahm seine Weiber und seine Söhne und seine Töchter und alle Seelen seines Hauses, und seine Herden und all sein Vieh und all sein Besitztum, das er im Lande Kanaan erworben hatte, und zog in ein Land, von seinem Bruder Jakob hinweg.

7 Denn ihre Habe war zu groß, daß sie hätten beieinander wohnen können, und das Land ihres Aufenthaltes vermochte sie nicht zu tragen wegen ihrer Herden.
