Genesis 36:4

And Adah bare to Esau Eliphaz; and Bashemath bare Reuel;

And Adah bare to Esau Eliphaz,.... This son of Esau, according to Jerom {n}, is the same with him mentioned in the book of Job, as one of his friends that came to visit him, Job 2:11; and so says the Targum of Jonathan on Genesis 36:10; but he rather was the grandson of this man, since he is called the Temanite:

and Bashemath bare Reuel; the name is the same with Reuel or Raguel, the name of Jethro; but cannot be the same person as is said by some, for he was a Midianite and not an Edomite, Exodus 2:18.


{n} Trad. Heb. in Gen. fol. 71. L. tom. 3.
