Fountain of blessing is the Lord

Genesis 36:1-43
This is the account of Esau, Edom.
These were the kings who reigned in Edom before any Israelite king reigned.
These were the chiefs descended from Esau.
This was Esau the father of the Edomites.
Esau's family line.
Once again, before starting a new chapter in the story, we catch upon the other branch of the family, Esau/Edom the Red (from the red broth for which he gave up his birthright) fave his name to the land of Seir which he took over from the Horites.
Esau's territory lies east of the Dead Sea, the valley of the Arabah extending south to the Gulf of Aqaba and the mountainous land on both sides. The king's highway, an important trade route, ran down the eastern plateau. In later days there was enmity敵意 between Edom and Israel.
How?
God blessed Esau has descendant that they will be too numerous to account (Gen 16:10) for Abraham and his wife Hagar. Fountain of blessing is the Lord.
