Names and Titles

Variation: Edom.
Variation: Esau.
Esau (Gen 25-36) was born 2239 AC / 2006 BC Issac @ 60.3 He was the son of Isaac (יִצְחָק) (Gen 21-35) and Rebekah (Gen 22-27).2 Esau (Gen 25-36) married Basemath (Gen 26), daughter of Elon the Hittite (Gen 26); Esau @ 40.4 Esau (Gen 25-36) married Mahalath (Gen 28), daughter of Ishmael (Gen 16-17 25), after 2299 BCE.5 Esau (Gen 25-36) married Judith (Gen 26), daughter of Beeri the Hittite, 2299 AC / 1946 BCE; Esau @ 40.4 Esau (Gen 25-36) married Adah (Gen 36), daughter of Elon the Hittite (Gen 36).6 Esau (Gen 25-36) married Oholibamah (Gen 36:2-19), daughter of Anah (Gen 36, 1 Chron 1).
Esau (Gen 25-36) became the father of Eliphaz (Gen 36).7 Esau (Gen 25-36) became the father of Reuel (Gen 36).8 Esau (Gen 25-36) became the father of Jeush (Gen 36).8 Esau (Gen 25-36) became the father of Jalam (Gen 36).8 Esau (Gen 25-36) became the father of Korah (Gen 36).8
The names Anah and Dishon are duplicated in Genesis 36, and 1 Chronicals 1, being listed as both "sons" of Seir in Genesis 36:20-21, and for Anah as the son of Zibeon in verse 24, and for Dishon as the son of Anah in verse 25. From verse 2 Oholibamah who was also listed in vers 24, puts that Anah as the son of Zibeon, I am presuming that the references in Genesis 36:20-21, and 1 Chronicles 1:38 are using the more generic meaning of "son" to be descendant and these are not disticnt people by the same names.9
