‏ Genesis 36:15-16

First aristocracy of dukes, from am cir, 2429, to am cir, 2471; from bc cir. 1575, to bc cir. 1533.

dukes The word duke is from the Latin dux, a captain or leader, from duco, to lead, guide; which is the exact import of the Hebrew (ΰμεσ H441), alluph, from ΰμσ, to lead, guide; and is here applied to heads of families, chieftains, or princes, who were military leaders. Gen 36:18; 1Chr 1:35

Eliphaz Job 21:8; Ps 37:35

duke Teman Gen 36:4, Gen 36:11-12; 1Chr 1:36, 1Chr 1:45, 1Chr 1:51-54; Job 2:11, Job 4:1; Jer 49:7, Jer 49:20; Ezek 25:13; Amos 1:12; Obad 1:9; Hab 3:3

Duke Korah As it is certain from Gen 36:4, that Eliphaz was Esau's son by Adah, and from Gen 36:11 and Gen 36:12, that Eliphaz had but six sons, "Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, Kenaz, and Amalek;" as is is also certain, from Gen 36:5 and Gen 36:14, that Korah was the son of Esau (not Eliphaz) by Aholibamah; and as the words duke Korah are omitted by both the Samaritan text and version, Dr. Kennicott pronounces them to be an interpolation.
