Edom. His genealogy extends as far as ver. 20, where that of Seir, the Horrite, begins. The seven first verses specify Esau's sons, the twelve next his grandsons born in Seir. From the 15th to the 20th verse, we have the most ancient form of government in that nation under the Aluphim, or heads of families. To them succeed kings, (ver. 31 to 40,) and then dukes to the end. Moses omits several generations of Oolibama's grand-children, as foreign to his purpose, which was to shew the Israelites whom they were not to molest. The kings, of whom he speaks, (ver. 31,) might govern different parts of the country at the same time; and that before any form of government was established among the Hebrews, as it was under Moses, who is styled a king, (Deuteronomy 33:5,) about 200 years after Esau had driven the Horrites from their mountains.

Ada. These wives of Esau are called by other names, Genesis 27. But it was very common amongst the ancients for the same persons to have two names, as Esau himself was also called Edom. (Challoner)
Calmet
Ana the daughter of Sebeon. It is not certain that Ana was a woman. The Samaritan and Septuagint make him son of Sebeon, both here and ver. 14, (Haydock) as well as some Latin copies; and he is mentioned as such, ver. 24. The daughter of Sebeon may, therefore, designate his grand-daughter, which is not unusual. Sebeon is called Hevite, Hethite, and Horrite, on account of his dwelling in different countries; though some think they were different persons. (Calmet)

The same Edom is Esau. Moses seems particularly attentive to assert both titles for the same person, ver. 8, etc. The time of Esau's death cannot be ascertained. There is reason to hope that he died penitent; though in the early part of his life, he gave way to his ferocious temper, and became a figure of the reprobate. He lived on terms of friendship with his brother, assisted him to bury his father, etc. (Calmet)

He was a hunter, indeed; which St. Jerome looks upon as a bad sign: "nunquam venatorem in bonam partem legi," in Micheas V. But this was also in his younger days. (Haydock)

1. The generations of Esau] As before Moyses described the genealogies chap. 4. 10 22. 25. of Cain, of Iapheth and Cham, of Nachor, of Ismael, and other sonnes of Abraham, so here he recordeth an other collateral progenie of Esau, that the difference and distinction of them, and the selected people of God might be By comparison of interrupted companies the cō tinual succession of the Church is more glorious. more conspicuous, because contraries opposed are sene more clerly. And so the Churches succession and perpetual light, compared with the interrupted and obscure companies, shineth the brighter. For albeit in those other generations there might be manie faithful and iust persons, among the infidels and wicked, and of some we are assured (as of Lot and Iob) yet faith and religion decayed, and was extinguished in their carnal children, and only continued in the right line from Adam to Iacob, whose twelue sonnes were fathers and beginners of twelue. Tribes, and in them the same true Religion was stil conserued and publikly professed, as in the onlie knowne visible Church, til the cōming of Christ. as S.

2. Ada the daughter of Elon] In the 26. chap. (v. 34.)

VVhich neither agree in names nor countrie. Againe his third wife Ismaels daughter, here named Basemath, in 28. chap v. 9. is called Maheleth. For reconciliation of which and otherlike difficulties, or seeming contradictions, albeit he lerned expositors say, that either these persons had diuers names, or one was true and natural father, an other legal, or adoptiue, for there were such also before the law of Moyses, as appeareth in the historie of Thamar: yet it were hard to Holie Scriptures not easie to be vnderstood. geue a determinate solution of this difficultie.

6. Departed from his brother. 8. Dvvelt in Mount Seir] Here is an other difficultie (though not so intricate as the former) how Esau now parted into Esaus last parting from Iacob. Mount Seir, seing he dwelled there, when his brother Iacob came from Mesopotamia. chap. 22. v. 3. VVhich S. Augustin (q. 119. in Gen.) solueth saying: Esau first dwelt in Seir after he was disapointed of his fathers blessing, but dwelt againe with his father, after Iacobs returne from Mesopotamia, and now went to Seir againe after his fathers death.

Hucusque recensuit Moses simpliciter filios et posteros Esau; nunc recenset duces ex Esau prognatos: unde non mirum, si iidem iterato nominentur; prius enim nominati fuerunt simpliciter ut filii, hic vero nominantur ut duces. Nota: Hic recensentur duces, vers. vero 31 reges, rursum vers. 40 duces prognati ex Esau; quia Idumaei primo amplexi sunt aristocratiam, in qua duces singuli suae tribui et dynastiae praesidebant, et regebant, non ex sua, sed ex optimatum sententia, uti facit Dux Venetorum; deinde amplexi sunt monarchiam, in qua regali jure toti Idumaeae praeerant reges; tertio iterum amplexi sunt aristocratiam, redieruntque ad suos duces. Porro tam duces, quam reges habuerunt electivos; unde regni successores ponuntur, non defunctorum filii, sed alii, ut annotavit Abulensis.
36:20
ISTI SUNT FILII (id est incolae) SEIR HORRAEI, q. d. Isti sunt incolae montis, qui postea ab Esau dictus est Seir; incolae, inquam, genere et gente Horraei, qui montem hunc incoluerunt ante Esau, quosque Esavitae expulerunt, Deuteron. II, 12. Qui ergo in sequentibus nominantur, puta Lotan, Sobal, Sebeon, etc., Horraei fuerunt, non Esavitae. Meminit Moses Horraeorum, tum quia illi primi incolae fuerunt Idumaeae, tum quia ex eis uxores duxerunt Esavitae. Nam Thamna, concubina Eliphaz, filii Esau, fuit soror Lotan Horraei, ut dicitur vers. 22. Ita S. Hieronymus.
36:24
ISTE EST ANA, QUI INVENIT AQUAS CALIDAS, DUM PASCERET ASINOS. Pro aquas calidas, hebraice est iemim, quod Chaldaeus vertit, gigantes. Secundo, Aquila, Symmachus et Septuaginta retinent Hebraeum nomen, vertuntque eamim; solent autem ipsi Hebraeum chet reddere per epsilon, unde pro pesach vertunt phase, pro Corach vertunt Core, pro Therach vertunt Thare. Jam chaiammim compositum videtur ex cham, id est calidus, et jammim, id est aquae; proprie chaiammim significat aquas calidas, quod nota: nam a nullo, quod sciam, hoc animadversum est. Invenit ergo Ana in deserto thermas, quales sunt thermae Aquenses, quae calidae sunt et medicinales, quia per sulphur venasque sulphureas labuntur et transeunt, itaque multis morbis, praesertim ortis ex pituita, medentur. Quare balneorum inventor fuit Ana. Ita Torniellus. Tertio, nonnulli, inquit S. Hieronymus in Quaestion., arbitrantur, onagros ab Ana admissos esse ad asinas; et ipsum ejusmodi reperisse concubitum, ut velocissimi ex his asini nascerentur, qui vocantur jamim. Plerique putant, quod equarum greges ab asinis ipse fecerit primus ascendi, ut mulorum inde nova contra naturam animalia nascerentur. Et hoc passim sequuntur Rabbini, Vatablus et alii, qui jemim mulos vertunt, illudque avide arripit Calvinus et Novantes, ut Vulgatam editionem criminentur et carpant. Unde acute, sed infideliter Robertus Stephanus vertit in Vulgata editione, pro aquas calidas impressit equas calidas, et ad marginem addit, id est mulos, quos scilicet genuerint equae calidae cum asinis commixtae. Addunt aliqui, quod, sicut teomim, id est gemelli, ita et jemim derivetur a verbo tamam, id est consummare, perficere, quasi jemim dicantur muli, quia consummati et perfecti ex gemina, sive duplici animalium specie, puta ex equa et asino prognati. Verum noster Interpres optime jamim vertit, aquas calidas. Primo, quia in lingua Punica (quae affinis est linguae Hebraeae), teste S. Hieronymo, jamim significat aquas calidas; secundo, quia Noster non jemim, sed aliis punctis jammim legit, unde et S. Hieronymus legit jamim: jammim autem hebraice significat aquarum copiam, indeque mare, itaque vertunt hic et legunt Eusebius, Diodorus, Theodoretus, Procopius. Tertio, in Hebraeo est haiammim, pro quo legendum videtur chaiammim: he enim in vicinum chet detortum et depravatum videtur; nam Septuaginta retinentes nomen Hebraeum, vertunt eamim; solent autem ipsi Hebraeum chet reddere per epsilon.
Tropologice B. Petrus Damianus lib. II, ep. 12 ad Desiderium Abbatem Cardinalem: Quid est, inquit, per figuram, Ana in solitudine patris sui asinos pascere, nisi spiritalem quempiam virum cui Deus pater est, simplices fratres sub disciplinae remotioris studio custodire? Et quid est aquas calidas invenire, nisi in compunctionis lacrymas, quae de fervore Sancti Spiritus eliciuntur, erumpere? Onam siquidem dolor, vel tristitia eorum, sive etiam mussitatio, vel murmuratio interpretatur. Quisquis enim verae compunctionis dolore tristatur, quasi sub quadam querula mussitatione adversum pravitatem vitae suae murmurare compellitur. Sebeon autem interpretatur stans in aequitate, quod Deo congruere nemo prorsus ignorat. Ipse quippe in aequitate principaliter stat, quia justitiae rectitudine, nulla necessitate coactus exorbitat. Onam igitur, dum patris sui Sebeon asinos in solitudine pascit, aquas calidas reperit; quia quisquis se per vitae rectitudinem Deo filium exhibet, ac de peccatis suis medullitus dolet, dum se reddit in pervigili fratrum cura sollicitum, divino munere percipit gratiam lacrymarum.
36:31
ANTEQUAM HABERENT REGEM FILII ISRAEL. Haec verba videntur addita post Mosen ab eo qui Mosis diaria digessit; tempore enim Mosis nulla erat mentio regis in Israel. Vide dicta in prooemio Geneseos.
36:33
JOBAB. Hic est S. Job speculum patientiae; licet enim Hebraei et S. Hieronymus velint S. Job natum esse ex Hus, filio Nachor, fratris Abrahae: tamen verius est S. Job prognatum esse ex Esau, ejusque fuisse pronepotem. Esau enim genuit Rahuel, Rahuel genuit Zaram, Zara genuit Jobab, sive Job; unde ejus amicus fuit Eliphaz Themanites, primogenitus Esau. Est haec sententia Septuaginta Interpretum in fine libri Job; est et Origenis, Philonis, S. Athanasii, Chrysostomi, S. Augustini, Theodoreti, Gregorii, Hippolyti, Irenaei, Eusebii, Tostati, Pererii et Pinedae in cap. 1 Job vers. 1, numer. 31. Hinc patet S. Job regem fuisse in Idumaea, eumque ordine secundum.
Patet secundo, S. Job natum esse sub id tempus, quo Jacob descendit ad Joseph in Aegyptum. Fuit enim Job tertius ab Esau; Esau autem duxit uxorem, et coepit generare anno 40. Jacob autem descendit in Aegyptum anno 130, quando tertia erat generatio, qua natus est Job. Hinc tertio, sequitur S. Job vixisse usque ad tempora Mosis: vixit enim S. Job, ut minimum ducentos annos et decem, uti ostendit Pineda in Job XLV, vers. 16, num. 3. Vixit ergo cum Mose ut minimum annos 75; nam a descensu Jacobi in Aegyptum, qui contigit anno Jacobi 130, sub quod tempus natus est S. Job, usque ad exitum Mosis et Hebraeorum ex Aegypto, fluxerunt anni 215. Moses autem tunc erat 80 annorum: ergo, si demus natum esse Job anno Jacobi 130 atque vixisse 210 annos, consequenter dicere debemus eum cum Mose vixisse annis 75, et 5 annis ante egressum Mosis et Hebraeorum ex Aegypto esse defunctum.
36:37
SAUL DE FLUVIO ROHOBOTH. Hoc est, ut I Paralip. cap. 1, vers. 48, dicitur: Saul de Rohoboth, quae juxta amnem sita est. Unde patet Rohoboth esse urbem, sitam juxta amnem. Per amnem hunc nonnulli Euphratem fluvium in Scriptura celebrem, per antonomasiam intelligunt. Unde Chaldaeus vertit: Saul de Rohoboth, quae est supra Euphratem.
36:40
HAEC ERGO SUNT NOMINA DUCUM ESAU IN COGNATIONIBUS, ET LOCIS, ET VOCABULIS SUIS, q. d. Haec sunt nomina filiorum Esau, qui fuerunt duces et capita cognationum et tribuum habitantium in Idumaea, per loca et regiones sibi attributas, quas singuli a suo nomine vocarunt et indigitarunt. Ita Vatablus.
36:1
v. 1 « Hae sunt autem generationes Esau, ipse est Edom ». Item v. 8. 19. Verba denotant, eundem virum Esau alio nomine vocatum esse Edom, cf. 95,94 sqq. E contra titulus « pater Edom » v. 9. 43 virum celebrat ut progenitorem gentis Edomiticae.
Cap. XXXVI
36:2
v. 9 « Esau accepit uxores de filiabus Chanaan : Ada, filiam Elon Hethaei, et Oolibama, filiam Anae filiae Sebeon Hevaei »;
36:3
v. 3 « Basemath quoque, filiam Ismael, sororem Nabatoth ». Textus evidenter repetit 26,34 et 28,9 dicta : sed nomina misere discordant. v. 2 pro filiae Sebeon cum Keri Sam. LXX Syr. legendum est filii Sebeon : origines quippe non per matres sed per patres describi consuevere. Unde illico perspicitur Oolibama v. 2 eadem esse atque Oolibama, filia Ana filii Sebeon v. 25, cuius ibi, uti Thamnae v. 22, nomen non ob aliam causam inseratur, quam ob nuptias cum principe Edomita initas. Verum si hoc, quomodo iam Hevaeus scribitur v. 2, qui v. 20 indubie Horraeus dicitur? Sat facile quidem corrigat quis "3 in '*"n: sed manet difficultas, ambas uxores v. 2 dici Chananaeas ect 27, 46 Hethaeas (potuit *rX1 v. 2 corrumpi in ttr). « Sedium mutatione contigisse potuit », ait Calm., « ut vir Hecthaeus origine Hevaei cognomen obtineret ». At opus erit duplici sedium mutatione, cum idem etiam Horraeus scribatur. De Horraeorum origine nihil scimus, nomina utique sunt semitica : quid, si ii fuerint ramus aliquis magnae Hethaeorum familiae? quid, si Seir Hethaeus primum Chanaanitiden incoluerit ibique filíam nuptui dederit Esau, atque inde in montem ab ipso Seir appellandum emigraverit? Habes igitur restitutum v. 2 : manet autem cum 26, 34 et 28, 9 contradictio : Cum Ada (cf. Gen. 4, 19) decoram sonet et Basemalh (cf. 3 Reg. 4, 15) venustam, reapse utrumque nomen unius mulieris proprium fuerit : inde habebis, nomen filiae Ismael fuisse non Basemath, sed Maheleth (Sam. et cf. 2 Par. 11, 18). Utrum vero Oolibama « binomia » (Cai.) fuerit, an nomen Iudith e corruptione ortum duxerit, et quomodo Beeri in locum Anae successerit difficile definitur. Suggeres, fuisse filiam Anae mediate, immediate filiam Beeri, qui fuerit filius Anae. Erunt ergo inter Oolibamam, uxorem Esau, et inter Seir generationes tres (Sebeon, Ana, Beeri), dum Thamna, soror Lotan et hinc filia aut privigna Seir, nupsit Eliphaz, primogenito Esau. Tamen adverte, uti 29, 15 Laban et Iacob dicantur fratres, qui fratres erant mediate tantum, ita potuisse Thamnam esse sororem Lotan mediate, i. e. sororis filiam aut neptem. Ceterum haec omnia tentantes suggerimus : textum misere corruptum plene ac certe quis restituat? Cf. Cornely Introd. II. 1. p. 123 sq. Nomen Elon habuit etiam filius Zabulon 46, 14; Num. 26, 26. Nomen Ama idem est quod v. 20, fratris alicuius Sebeon. Beeri Os. 1, 1 vocabatur prophetae Osee pater. Quae sequuntur nomina certe sunt fi/;iorum, cum matres recenseantur; qui tamen filii v. 15-19 totidem tribubus sua nomina transmiserunt.
36:4
v. & « Peperit autem Ada Eliphaz ». Quo iure hune composuerint aliqui cum Eliphaz, amico Job, et Iobab v. 33 cum ipso Iob, vide Comment. Knabenbauer p. 3&. 56. « Basemath genuit Rahuel », quo eodem nomine appellatur lethro Ex. 2,18; Num. 10,29, et Beniaminita quidam 1 Par. 9,8.
36:5
v. 5 « Oolibama genuit Iehus et Ihelon ét Core ». lehus vocatur Beniaminita 1 Par. 7,10, alter Beniaminita 1 Par. 8,39, levita 1 Par. 23,10, filius Roboam 2 Par. 11,19. Core nomen levitae (Ex. 6,21; Num. 16,1), a quo cantorum familia nomen habuit, et alterius levitae 1 Par. 2,43. « H? filii Esau, qui nati sunt ei in terra Chanaan ». Cum Esau iam 39,3 exhibeatur incolens in Seir, patet ante patris obitum eo secessisse (Aug.); ad patris tamen funus e Seir Hebronem venit.
36:6
v. 6 « Tulit autem Esau uxores suas et fitos et filias, et omnem animam domus suae, et substantiam et pecora et. cuncta, quae habere [poterat] in. terra Chanaan, et abit in alteram regionem, |recessitque] a fratre suo Iacob ». Sane e « bonorum divisione » (Per.) post funus in Chanaanitide facta plura cessere Esau, quae ipse nunc abstulit; alia ante abstulerat. Alteram sup- . plent Chaíd. Vulg.; legebant y»wà Sam. LXX, et Sam. supplevit 1722; genuinam lectionem videtur servasse Syr. "yw vN 5N; vox vyv . mature textu exciderat.
36:7
v. 7 « Divites enim erant valde et simul habitare non poterant; nec sustinebat eos terra peregrinalionts eorum prae multitudine gregum ». Cf. 13,6.
36:8
v. 8 « Habitavitque Esau in monte Seir: 1pse est Edom ». lam nepotes in Seiritide nati recensentur.
36:9
v. 9 « Hae autem sunt generationes Esau , patr is Edom , in monte Seir »,, cf. dicta ad
36:10
v. 1 — v. 10 « et haec nomina fi TOM etus . - Eliphas, fitus Ada uxoris Esau; Rahuel quoque, filtus Basemath uxoris etus ». Redit genealogia ad initium v. 4 statutum.
36:11
v. 11 « Fueruntque Eliphaz filii : Theman », a quo « terra Themanorum » v. 34 nomen duxit, gentis ob sapientiam celebratae (Ier. 49,7. 90; Ez. 25,13; Baruch 3,22). Nomen meridiem sonat; textus eam terram copulant cum monte Pharan Hab. 3,3 et opponunt Dedan (Ez. 25,13) — « Omar, Sepho », — 1 Par. 1,36 *2x, sed Syr. ib. yx (cf. 1 Reg. 1,1; 1 Par. 6,11. 20); LXX utrobique Xog&p — « et Gatham et Cenez » , quod erat etiam nomen patris Othoniel (Ios. 15,17 ; Iud. 1,13) et nepotis Caleb (1 Par. 4,15).
36:12
v. 12 « Erat autem Thamna concubina Eliphaz filià Esau, quae peperit ei Amalech. Hi sunt filii Ada uxoris Esau ». Gens Amalecitarum iam aevo Abrahae exstitisse videtur (15,7), licet fabulosa eidem antiquitas e Num. 924,20 et 1 Reg. 27,8 (cf. quae ib. diximus) audacius atiribuatur. Censent Kn. aliique hanc tribum Amalec ex aliqua Amalecitarum parte quibusdam Edomitis commixta originem duxisse. Cum noster hic Amalech fuerit concubinae filius, forte ei assignatae sunt sedes, a fratribus remotiores, ubi facilius eius posteri cum alienis sunt confusi.
36:14
v. 45 « Istt quoque erant fidi Oolibama, fitae Anae fiae » — cum Sam. LXX corrige filii et cf. v. 2 — « Sebeon, uxoris Esau, quos genuit ei : Iehus et Ihelon et Core ». Sequens ducum elenchus omnino correspondet ei, quem modo descripsimus, filiorum elencho : nomina sunt eadem et eodem ordine se excipiunt. Dux Core v. 16 cum Sam. est omittendum: irrepsit quippe ex v. 18 (Houb.). Advertit Dillm., e primariis Esau uxoribus derivari tribus duodecim. Id verum est; sed, cum tribuum numerus, addito e concubina Amalech, tamen sit omnino tredecim , nihil ex illo duodenario numero concludi potest. Soli Edomitarum duces ornantur titulo a"z*5N, i. e. chiliarchi, qui quidem Zach. 9,7; 19,5 sq. poetice ad Iudaeorum res transfertur; cf. etiam Mich. 5,2 (1). Vocem per se non pagos aut tribus designare, sed individuos homines, demonstrat parallelismus Ex. 15,15 (De/.). De singularum tribuum finibus vix alia habent auctores praeter coniecturas et assonantias.
36:15
v. 15 « H? duces filiorum Esau : filit Eliphaz primogeniti Esau : dux Theman, dux Omar, dux Sepho , dux Cenez » ,
36:16
v. 16 « duz Core » h. l. omittendus, « dux Gatham , dux Amelach. Hi filii Eliphaz in terra Edom, et hi filii Ada ».
36:17
v. 147 « Hi quoque filii Rahuel filii Esau : dur Nahath, dux Zara, dux Samma, dux Meza. Hi autem duces Rahuel in. terra Edom; isti filii Basemath uxoris Esau ».
36:18
v. 18 « Hi autem filii Oolibama uxoris Esau : duz Iehus, dux Ihelon, dux Core. Hi duces Ooltbama filiae Anae, uxoris Esau ».
36:19
v. 19 « Isti sunt filit Esau et hi duces eorum , ipse est Edom ».
36:20
v. 90 « Isti sunt filii Seir Horraei, habitatores terrae », 1. e. qui filiis Edom priores regionem obtinuere (Ca/m.) : « Lotan et Sobal », quod est etiam nomen ludaei cuiusdam 1 Par. 2,50. 52; 5,1 sq., « et Sebeon et Ana » (c£. v. 2),
36:21
v. 21 « et Dison et Eser et Disan. Hi duces Horraet fil Seir in terra Edom », i. e. Horraeorum seu Troglodytarum, quibus a "n « specu » videtur fuisse nomen; regio specubus abundat. Nomen hoc non ab origine, sed a vivendi ratione petitum tribubus origine diversis applicari potuit. Norunt illud praeter Assyros (Saar : Del. Par. p. 280) Aegyptii, qui tempore Ramsis III Saa?ra recensent. Cf. M. Mueller : Asien u. Europa, p. 135 sqq. Tu", pro quo 1 Par. 1, 38 et Sam. Tu, à sequenti 9m vix distinguitur. Rursum v. 25 habetur alius Tw, ubi 1 Par. 1, 41 et Sam. pu. Reperiri duos íratres duasque tribus homonymas admirationem facit, et fortasse subest v. 21 antiquis- Simus aliquis error. At idem nomen Dison v. 25, uti etiam Ana v. 24 (cf. v. 20), post aliquas generationes repeli, admirationem non habet : recensetur Dison v. 25, quia eius soror recensenda erat, Ana v. 24 propter factum ib. de eo narrandum. Iam filiorum filii recensentur.
36:22
v. 22 « Facti sunt autem filii Lotan : Hori » — an hoc nomen idem atque Horraeus, quae appellatio primum ad aliquos tantum pertinuerit ac postmodum ad plures fuerit translata? Num. 13,6 (5) habetur eius nominis Simeonita — « et Heman » (pa; Syr. h.1. et Hebr. Vulg. 1 Par. 1,39 mun), « erat autem soror Lotan Thamna » (v. 12). —
36:23
v. 93 « Et isti filii Sobal : Alvan », vy (Hebr. Vulg. 1 Par. 1,40 v5v), « et Manahat et Ebal », nomen Iectanidae 10,98, « et Sepho », *bv (Hebr. Vulg. 1 Par. 1,41^2v, LXX h.l. et Syr. utrobique ^2v), « et Onam », quod nomen est etiam alicuius Iudaei 1 Par. 2,96.
36:24
28 — v. 24 « Et hi filii Sebeon : Aia », quod etiam est nomen patris concubinae Saul 2 Reg. 3,7 ; 21,8, « et Ana » (cf. v. 2). « Iste est Ana » ab altero v. 20 distinguendus, « qui invenit aquas calidas in solitudine, cum pasceret asinos Sebeon patris sui ». Nominum horum aliqua auctores (cf. Dillm.) ab animalibus esse petita coniiciunt, ut Sobal sit leunculus, Sebeon hyaena, Dison (Deut. 14, 5) antilope quaedam, Aran capra sylvestris, Ana onager. Quodsi ita habeat, reapse Anae nomen pulchre alludit ad factum, quod de ipso memoriae traditum est. — Difficultatem facit Dan. Quam vocem explicabant Iebraei plures (cf. Ps. [on., Targ. Hier., Hier. et Rahmer) per pian — f5pióvog vel 30» — fjutov, ut Ana fecerit coire aut onagros cum asinis et ita excellentius quddam genus asinorum produxerit, aut asinos cum equis, quo nascerentur muli. Sed hace nimis sunt ludicra. — Hier. meminit Qv interpretantium maria ; hucque referendus Syr., qui aut legebat aut interpretabatur Q'*Y3^3, aquas. Ipse Hier. vocem « iuxta Punicae linguae viciniam » interpretatus est aquas calidas. Quae significatio quomodo voci Qa competat, non perspicitur; et aliqui putavere, deceptum esse Hier. similitudine vocis alicuius a Qn calidus derivatae. Tamen cf. Ges. Thesaur. p. 586. An inventi aliqui fontes calidi visi sunt eventus tanti in historia Horraeorum momenti, ut soli cum clade Madianitarum v. 35 memoriae censerentur committendi? — Sam. habet Qv2*'wn, quo recidit Chald. N*3334 et transscriptio Aq. Symm. 7julv et Lagarde 3autv (contra LXX Theod. lapely). Gigantes Emim reapse Horraeorum erant finitimi Deut. ?, 10 sqq. Hos primos invenit Ana, in asinis pascendis et fortasse etiam uti Saul requirendis longius progressus. Calm. monet verbum NY etiam induere irruendi in aliquem significationem : Iud. 1, 5; 1 Reg. 31, 3; J Reg. 13, 24. F'atendum tamen, eam locis laudatis verbo competere e contextu polius, quam vi vocis.
36:25
v. 95 « Habuitque filium Dison et filiam Oolibama », de qua v. 2. Hebr. : Et isti sunt filii Ana, eius sc. v. 20, non eius qui v. 24 recensebatur : Dison ; et Oolibama filia Ana. Formula 2st? sunt fiit etiam ibi retinetur, ubi unicus filius recensendus est (Kn.). v. 26 « Et zst? filz Dison », qui v. 21 primum locum obtinet : » Hamdan et Eseban et lethram et Charan ».

v. 28 « Habuit autem filios Disan », qui tertius v. 21 nominabatur : « Hus et Aram », YN. Recensentur iam, uti v. 15 sq. duces et tribus Horraeorum ; soli autem filii Seir in tribus separatas excrevere, non filii filiorum.
36:29
v. 29 « H? duces Horraeorum : dux Lotan, dux Sobal, dux Sebeon, dux Ana »,
36:30
v. 90 « dux Dison, dux Eser, duz Disan. Isti duces Horraeorum, qui imperaverunt in terra Seir ». Vide, quae Introd. p. 37 sqq. diximus. Hi duo elenchi conditionem rerum exhibent ipsis Esau et Seir longe recentiorem. Reges, qui regnaverunt « in terra Edom » utique, e posteris fuere ipsius Esau et Horraeos subegerunt, expulerunt, exstirparunt, ut sub illis regibus gens tandem constaret undecim tribubus, quae omnes ab Esau essent derivatae. Porro reges illi an toti regioni praefuerint ignoramus (Caím.). Singuli ex sua quique tribu ortum sane duxerant, adscribitur tamen nomen non tribus (excipe v. 34) sed urbis : Edomitae:iam erant non mera pastorum gens. Tribus nihilominus sub regibus etiam perseverasse, et rerum natura suadet et v. 40 (cf. 1 Par. 1,51) pronuntiat. Reges certe non iure haereditario sibi succedebant , cum e diversis omnes essent urbibus, sed, quod crediderim electione quadam, partim fortasse violentia. Quod adscribitur « cum mortuus esset » non cogit adstruere illico unum alteri successisse, longiora tamen interregna ea formula fere excludi videntur. Consuevere fundari regna iis maxime temporibus, quibus bella in hostes gerenda desiderium faciunt fortis alicuius et communis imperatoris : liceat igitur suggerere, iis regibus ducibus Edomitas Horraeos exstirpasse (Deut. 2,12). Qui v. 40 sqq. recensentur posteriores duces, non Horraeorum sed Edomitarum dicuntur duces, et quidem v. 43 « duces Edomitarum in terra possessionis suae », ut totam regionem iam suam fecisse Edomitae videantur; nulli ducum Horraeorum v. 20-30 enumeratorum inter illos reperiuntur. Quare crediderim Horraeos tum temporis iam fuisse exstirpatos.
36:31
v. 94 « Reges autem, qui regnaverunt tn terra Edom, antequam haberent regem filii Israel, fuerunt hi » :
36:32
v. 32 « Bela filtus Beor, nomenque urbis ewus Denaba ». Erat Danaba in Palmyrene (Ptol. 5.15. 24), altera in Babylonia (Zos?m. Hist. 3.27), tertia in Moabitide (Her. Onom.) inter Areopolin flumenque Arnon; erant fortasse et aliae eius nominis urbes. Est etiam Beniaminita Bela 46,21; paterque Balaam vocabatur Beor Num. 22,5. v. 33« Mortuus est autem Bela, et regnavit pro eo Iobab » — nomen lectanidae 10,29, regis Madon los. 11,1, Beniaminitarum duorum 1 Par. 8,9.
36:33
18 — « /iltus Zarae » (cf. v. 13) « de Bosra. », urbe notissima ad meridiem Maris Mortui (Am. 1,12; Is. 34,6; 63,1; Ier. 149,13. 92).
36:34
v. 3&4 « Cumque mortuus esset Iobab, regnavit pro eo Husam de terra Themanorum ».
36:35
v. 35 « Hoc quoque mortuo regnavit pro eo Adad filius Badad, qui percussit Madian in regione Moab, et nomen urbis eius Avith ». LXX Ysx0aiy., quod lectionem suggerit *ny. Adad nomen inter Edomiías frequens (cf. v. 39; 3 Reg. 11,14), itemque inter Syros, quorum numen princeps hoc nomine vocabatur. Edomitae a Madianitis postmodum frequenter oppressi celebrabant memoriam antiqui regis, qui illos extra suos fines adortus vel persecutus clade affecisset. v. 36 « Cumque mor- (uus esset Adad, regnavit pro eo Semla de Masreca ».
36:37
