Read Genesis 36.1-43
Esau's descendants.
The list here of Esau's descendants and list of Jacob's twelve sons in 35.22-26 represent a partial fulfillment of the promises of many descendants made to Abraham (15.5), Isaac (26.4), and Jacob (28.14).
In verse 1: Jacob's brother Esau is the ancestor of the nation of Edom.
Edom lies just south and east of Canaan.
The land of Canaan will later become the nation of Israel, whose ancestor is Jacob (25.23, 30).
In verse 31 This list of Kings who reigned in the land of Edom precedes the time of Israel's King David, who conquered and ruled over Edom (2 Sam 8.13-14).
