Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Genesis 36:25

And the children of Anah [were] these; Dishon, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah.

25. Anah ] This is the clan of Anah of Gen 36:20, and probably also of Gen 36:24.

Oholibamah ] See Gen 36:2. Probably the words “the daughter of Anah” have been carelessly inserted from Gen 36:2 as a gloss.

The children, Heb. sons, though but one son be mentioned. Either then he had other sons not here expressed; or the plural number is put for the singular, as Gen 21:7.

And the children of Anah [were] these,….

Dishon, the name of one of his uncles. Ge 36:21;

and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah; Aben Ezra thinks this is not the same Anah that was mentioned in the beginning of this verse; since, if he was the same, there was no need to mention him again, but that he is the same that is mentioned in Ge 36:2; but if he is not the same that is spoken of in this verse and Ge 36:24, it is difficult to account for the mention of him at all in this place: that he is the same as in

Ge 36:2 seems to be right, though it is attended with this difficulty, that the Anah and Aholibamah there are represented as of the Hivites, whereas here they are reckoned among the Horites; but it may be, as Ainsworth observes on Ge 36:20, that the Horites were of the race of the Hivites originally; and indeed this Aholibamah being the wife of Esau seems to be the reason of this particular notice taken of her here. She is omitted in 1Ch 1:41.
