Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 9. - And these are the generations of Esau - "the repetition of this clause shows that it does not necessarily indicate diversity of authorship, or a very distinct piece of composition" (Murphy) - the father of the Edomites (i.e. the founder of the Edomitish nation) in mount Seir.
