The sons of Esau
on 1 Chronicles 1:35-42
Esau's line and Seir's run together as Edom, the brother nation whose whole later history with Israel, from the wilderness refusal to Obadiah's oracle, stands behind a quiet list of names. The same sorting rule holds: Esau before Israel, the passed-over line completed and closed so that chapter 2 can open with the sons of Israel and never look back.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 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.
