Commentary on Genesis 25:15

Theological / Devotional

Hadar. The best Hebrew manuscripts read Hadad, found in cuneiform inscriptions of Chudadu. In Hebrew the letters equivalent to “r” and “d” are very similar, and one may easily be mistaken for the other.

Tenia. Mentioned also in Job 6:19; Isaiah 21:14; and Jeremiah 25:23. This is the modern Teima in northwestern Arabia. In ancient times it was an important trade center, and became for some years the residence of the Babylonian king Nabonidus, father of Belshazzar.

Jetur, Naphish. Found in 1 Chronicles 5:19 fighting the trans-Jordanian tribes of Gad, Manasseh, and Reuben. It is probable that the name Ituraea mentioned in Luke 3:1 as a region south of Mt. Hermon was derived from Jetur.
