These are the sons
This phrase introduces a genealogical record, a common feature in the book of Genesis. Genealogies serve to establish historical and familial connections, emphasizing the fulfillment of God's promises through specific lineages. In Hebrew, "sons" (בנים, banim) often signifies descendants or offspring, highlighting the continuation of a family line, which is crucial in the biblical narrative for the unfolding of God's covenantal promises.

of Esau’s wife Oholibamah
Oholibamah is one of Esau's wives, and her name means "tent of the high place" in Hebrew. This name may suggest a connection to nobility or a significant status within her community. Esau's marriages to Canaanite women, including Oholibamah, are significant as they reflect his departure from the covenantal line of Abraham, which was to be continued through Isaac and Jacob. This choice of spouse is a pivotal point in Esau's life, illustrating the broader theme of covenant faithfulness versus worldly alliances.

daughter of Anah
Anah is a figure mentioned in the genealogies of Esau's descendants. The mention of Anah here serves to provide a historical and familial context, linking Oholibamah to a specific lineage. In the ancient Near Eastern context, genealogies were crucial for establishing identity and inheritance rights. Anah's mention underscores the importance of familial ties and heritage in the biblical narrative.

and granddaughter of Zibeon
Zibeon is another figure in the genealogical record, and his mention further establishes the lineage of Oholibamah. The term "granddaughter" (בת, bat) in Hebrew emphasizes the multi-generational aspect of the genealogy. This highlights the continuity of family lines and the importance of ancestry in understanding one's place within God's unfolding plan.

whom she bore to Esau
This phrase indicates the maternal lineage of Esau's children, emphasizing the role of Oholibamah in the continuation of Esau's line. The act of bearing children is a recurring theme in Genesis, often associated with the fulfillment of divine promises and the perpetuation of family lines. In the context of Esau, it also reflects the divergence from the covenantal line of Jacob, as Esau's descendants become associated with the Edomites, a nation often in conflict with Israel.

Jeush, Jalam, and Korah
These names represent the sons of Esau and Oholibamah. Each name carries its own significance and reflects the cultural and familial identity of Esau's descendants. Jeush, Jalam, and Korah are part of the Edomite lineage, which plays a significant role in the biblical narrative as a neighboring nation to Israel. The mention of these names serves to document the growth and expansion of Esau's family, contrasting with the line of Jacob, through whom the covenantal promises are fulfilled.

Verse 14. - And these were the sons of Aholibamah, the daughter of Allah the daughter of Zibeon, Esau's wife (vide ver. 2): and she bare to Esau Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah (vide ver. 5).
