The Genealogy of Esau

In Genesis 36 we find the genealogy of Esau. Genealogies have always helped to preserve the history and identity of ancient people. Esau’s lineage helps us remember that God is ultimately Lord over the nations. There are four features of this genealogy: 1) Esau’s wives, 2) Esau’s departure, 3) Esau’s multiplication, and 4) Esau’s Conquest.
