Commentary on Genesis 36:24

Theological / Devotional

Anah that found the mules. Moses supposes that the event here recorded was well known. We, however, know nothing more about the story than this verse tells. The meaning of the word yemin, translated “mules,” is uncertain. This KJV rendering follows an old Jewish tradition. Jerome, however, translated it in the Vulgate as “hot springs,” and some commentators concur in thinking that Moses here refers to the discovery of hot sulphur springs. Three such springs are known in the general region, one in the Wadi Zerqa Ma‘in, another in the Wadi el-Ahsa to the southeast of the Dead Sea, and a third in the Wadi Hamad between Kerak and the Dead Sea.
