Genesis 36:4

Adah bare. Five sons (see 1 Chron. 1:35) were born to Esau in Canaan by his three wives named in Gen 36:2, 3. The names are distinctly Semitic and reveal, in part, that Esau still clung in some degree to the religion of his fathers. Eliphaz the name also of one of Job’s friends (Job 2:11; etc.), may mean “strength of God.” Reuel, meaning “friend of God,” was also one of the names of Moses’ father-in-law (Ex. 2:18). The meaning of Jeush, though somewhat obscure, may be “whom Jehovah hastens.” The same name was afterward given by King Rehoboam to one of his sons (2 Chron. 11:19). Jaalam may mean either “whom Jehovah hides” or “he ascends.” Korah means “baldness.” A Levite by this name became the father of a famous family of singers (see Ps. 42-49, title).
