1 Chronicles 1:35 Meaning and Commentary

Ver. 35-37. The sons of Esau
The firstborn of Isaac; his posterity are named in this and the two following verses, as in ( Genesis 36:1-6 ) only it should be observed, that Timna, ( 1 Chronicles 1:36 ) is not the name of a man, but was the concubine of Eliphaz, the eldest son of Esau, and the mother of Amalek, ( Genesis 36:12 ) , and so in the Arabic version it is read,

``and Timna, which was the concubine of Eliphaz, the son of Esau, bare him Amalek;''

and so the Alexandrian copy of the Septuagint.
