Commentary
2 notes on this verseThe children of Dishon are these,.... The last of the seven sons of Seir, and who had two sons: Uz and Aran; from the former of these the land of Uz, inhabited by the Edomites, had its name, Lam 4:21; some have taken this to be the country of Job, Job 1:1.
This site's exposition
These are the sons of Dishon
on Genesis 36:26-30
The Horite chiefs carry the title Esau's chiefs carry, so two sets of chiefs hold one country at once, and Gill notes that these ruled together where the kings named next ruled one at a time. Uz stands in verse 28. Lamentations 4:21 puts the daughter of Edom in the land of Uz, the name Job's own land carries.
