Verse 15
First aristocracy of dukes, from am cir, 2429, to am cir, 2471; from bc cir. 1575, to bc cir. 1533.
dukes: The word duke is from the Latin dux, a captain or leader, from duco, to lead, guide; which is the exact import of the Hebrew (אלוף [Strong's H441]), alluph, from אלף, to lead, guide; and is here applied to heads of families, chieftains, or princes, who were military leaders. Genesis 36:18, 1 Chronicles 1:35
Eliphaz: Job 21:8, Psalms 37:35
duke Teman: Genesis 36:4, Genesis 36:11, Genesis 36:12, 1 Chronicles 1:36, 1 Chronicles 1:45, 1 Chronicles 1:51-54, Job 2:11, Job 4:1, Jeremiah 49:7, Jeremiah 49:20, Ezekiel 25:13, Amos 1:12, Obadiah 1:9, Habakkuk 3:3
Reciprocal: Genesis 36:34 - Temani Genesis 36:40 - dukes Genesis 36:43 - the dukes
Verse 16
Duke Korah: As it is certain from Genesis 36:4, that Eliphaz was Esau's son by Adah, and from Genesis 36:11, and Genesis 36:12, that Eliphaz had but six sons, "Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, Kenaz, and Amalek;" as is is also certain, from Genesis 36:5, and Genesis 36:14, that Korah was the son of Esau - not Eliphaz by Aholibamah; and as the words duke Korah are omitted by both the Samaritan text and version, Dr. Kennicott pronounces them to be an interpolation.

Bozrah: Bozrah, Bezer, or Bostra, was situated in Arabia Deserta, and the eastern part of Edom; and, according to Eusebius, was 24 miles from Edrei. It afterwards belonged to Moab, and was given by Moses to Reuben, but again reverted to Edom. It is now called Boszra; and is described by Burckhardt as the largest town in the Haouran, including its ruins, though only inhabited by about twelve or fifteen families. It is situated in the open plain, two hours distant from Aare, and is at present the last inhabited place in the south-east extremity of the Haouran. It is of an oval shape, it greatest length being from east to west; and its circumference three quarters of an hour. Isaiah 34:6, Isaiah 63:1, Jeremiah 49:13, Jeremiah 49:22, Amos 1:12, Micah 2:12
