And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz, Esau's son,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Timna was concubine to Eliphaz - As Timna was sister to Lotan the Horite, Gen 36:22, we see how the family of Esau and the Horites got intermixed. This might give the sons of Esau a pretext to seize the land, and expel the ancient inhabitants, as we find they did, Deu 2:12. Amalek - The father of the Amalekites, afterwards bitter enemies to the Jews, and whom God commanded to be entirely exterminated, Deu 25:17, Deu 25:19.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
- Genesis 36:22
The sons of Lotan were Hori and Hemam. Timna was Lotan’s sister.
Commentary on Genesis 36:222 voices
(Verse 22.) And the sons of Lotan were Hori and Homam, and Lotan's sister was Timna. This is Timna, of whom it was said above. And Timna was the concubine of Eliphaz, the firstborn son of Esau, and from her was born Amalek. Now it is worth noting that the Horites, because the firstborn sons of Esau took their concubines as wives. And as for the names that are mentioned, Teman and Kenaz and Amalek, and so on: we will learn later the regions of the Edomites from which these names were derived.
Jerome· Hebrew Questions on Genesis, 420Patristic
And the children of Lotan were Hori and Heman,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
- 1 Chronicles 1:36
The sons of Eliphaz: Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz; and by Timna, Amalek.
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 1:362 voices
Timna - There is another Timna, the concubine of Eliphaz, Gen. xxxvi, 12, but this was one of his sons, though called by the same name; there being some names common both to men and women in the Hebrew and in other languages.
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament, 1765Evangelical
Timna - In Gen 36:11, Eliphaz has no son Timna; but he has a concubine of the name, who is the mother of Amalek, and conjectured to be Lotans sister 1Ch 1:39. The best explanation is, that the writer has in his mind rather the tribes descended from Eliphaz than his actual children, and as there was a place, Timna, inhabited by his dukes (1Ch 1:51; compare Gen. 35:40), he puts the race which lived there among his sons.
Albert Barnes· Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)Evangelical
- 1 Chronicles 1:39
The sons of Lotan: Hori and Homam. Timna was Lotan’s sister.
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 1:391 voice
Adam was the common father of our flesh, Abraham the common father of the faithful. By the breach which the former made of the covenant of innocency, we were all made miserable; by the covenant of grace made with the latter, we all are, or may be, made happy. We all are, by nature, the seed of Adam, branches of that wild olive.
Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710Puritan
