countrey g from the face of his brother Jacob. f Queſt. x. Why went he thither ? 4Aſw. Partly by his own choice; that Wild and Mountainous Countrey being very commodious for hunting, ro which he wholly addited himſelf; partly by his Wives perſwaſions, who were both utterly averſe from Cohabitarion witt Iſaac or Jacob, and ſtrongly inelined to their own Countrey ; but principally from the ſecrer condut of Divine Previdence, thus ac- compliſhing his promiſes. See Joſh. 24. 4. Male 1. 3. Bueft. 2. When went hethirher ? A»ſw. He went thircher before this time in di/con- rear at his Parents, and dweltin Seir before Jacob's return to Canaan; as appears from Gen. 32. 3. and 33+ 14, 16. Yet ſo as he Came ſome. ' times to Canaan, and to his Father's houſe, and did not quir his ins rereſt in his Father's eſtate. But when his Father was dead, and Jacob and he agreed about the partition of the Eſtate, hedid rorally and finally forſake Canaon,partly for the reaſon here following ; partly for the other reafons now alledged; and part'y to avoidall cccafion both of Communication and Contention with his Brother. g (7.e.) Further up into the Countrey : Or, ints another Countrey, as the Cheldee renders it, namely, into Seir ; the word another being ſuppited. If thar ſeems too bold a ſupplement, the place may be rendred thus, he went into a land diſtant or remote fom the face of his brother, which ſupplement lies hid, and is implied in the word Mipne, from the face: Or thus, he went out of the Land : For ſo the Hebrew Pcepoſition E! is ſometimes uſed for Min, which ſignifies of. or out of, as appears by comparing r Kings: 8: 30: with 2 Chron: 6: 21: and Ia: 59: 26: Rom: 11: 26: and Judges 17: 2: 2 Chron: 1: 13: and many other places. ; | | 7 * For their riches were more than that they might * Cy; dwel! together: and f the land wherein they were ttran- r3:.6; :t#; gers þ, could not bear them; becauſe of their catcel. Chap: . . h Which words contain the reaſon - why thar Land which was ' 7: 8: at@” large and fruitful could not bear them, becauſe they were not entire 293 45 poſſeſſors of it, bur only ſajourners in it, and therefore muſt reks | the owner's lJeavings, which were not ſufficient for boch of them and their nvmerous Families. 8 Thus dwelt Eſau in *mount Seir: Eſau is Edomi. * Joſh, 7 This ſeems tobe mentioned by the Holy Ghoſt by way of con= 24: 43 tempt or reproach ; this is he who ſold his Birth-righr for a meſs of | Red Potrage, and therefore was called Eom or Red. : 9 And theſe «re the generations of Eſau, the father + Hebz of + the Edomites in mount Seir. | Edom. _. 10 Theſe are the names of Eſau's ſons : * Eliphaz " —_— the ſon of Adah the wife of Eſau, Reuel the ſon of 35 v*

And in this diviſion El:phaz, as he was Eſau's firſt-bora, ſo he had more than a double portion, his tix ſons being made Dukes, i as Ejau's immediate Sons were.

There is another Korah, ver. 14. and 18: 17 And theſe ere the ſons of Reuel, Efau's fon : Duke Nahath, Duke Zerah, Duke Shamimah; Duke Mizzah: Theſe are the Dukes that came of Reuel, in the land of | Edom.
