“1:34–2:2 Isaac’s genealogy first lists the descendants of Esau (1:35-54) and continues with Israel. The history of Edom is given in three components: the sons of Esau (1:35-37), the descendants of Seir (1:38-42), and the kings who ruled in the land of Edom (1:43-54). This arrangement follows Gen 36.”
