- Duke Korah:
- As it is certain from "And Adahª bareª° to Esauª¹ Eliphaz;ª and Bashemathª bareª°¹ Reuel;ª" {Gen 36:4}, that Eliphaz was Esau's son by Adah, and from "And the sonsª of Eliphazª were¹ Teman,ª Omar,ª Zepho,ª and Gatam,ª and Kenaz.ª" {Gen 36:11} and "And Timnaª was¹ concubineª to Eliphazª Esau'sª son;ª and she bareª° to Eliphazª¹ Amalek:ª these¹ [were] the sonsª of Adahª Esau'sª wife.ª" {Gen 36:12}, that Eliphaz had but six sons, "Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, Kenaz, and Amalek;" as is is also certain, from "And Aholibamahª bareª°¹ Jeush,²¹ and Jaalam,ª and Korah:ª these¹ [are] the sonsª of Esau,ª which¹ were bornª° unto him in the landª of Canaan.ª" {Gen 36:5} and "And these¹ were¹ the sonsª of Aholibamah,ª the daughterª of Anahª the daughterª of Zibeon,ª Esau'sª wife:ª and she bareª° to Esauª¹ Jeush,²¹ and Jaalam,ª and Korah.ª" {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.
