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 also Basemath, daughter of Ishmael and sister of Nebaioth.
4 Adah gave birth to Eliphaz for Esau, and Basemath gave birth to Reuel.
5 Oholibamah gave birth to Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. These were the sons of Esau who were born in Canaan.
6 Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters, all the members of his household, his possessions, all his cattle, and everything he had accumulated in Canaan and went to another land away from his brother Jacob.
7 He did this because they had too many possessions to live together. There wasn't enough pastureland for all of their livestock.
