Footnotes

  1. 1 Chronicles 1:36 The Hebrew text reads and Timna and Amalek, but Genesis 36:12 indicates that Timna was the mother of Amalek. Also see verses 39, where Timna is a woman, and 51, in which Timna is a man.
  2. 1 Chronicles 1:38 It is clear from what follows that not all of these names are sons in the narrow biological sense of the term. Seir is the same region as Edom. These are not necessarily physical descendants of Esau but peoples that joined his nation.
