And the books were opened series continues with the book of the generations of Esau (or Edom)
Genesis 36:1,9 KJV
[1] Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom. [9] And these are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in mount Seir:
The generations of Esau, who is Edom, are here in Genesis chapter 36. We are not sure if this was collected by Esau and kept by Akobe and/or his descendants or is a fragment by Esau as is. We only bring this up because of the tension between Esau and Akobe, and their descendants through the generations.
According to the record, Esau married the daughters of Canaan, Adah, and Aholibamah. Abram went to very demanding lengths to make sure his son, Isaaka, left the land of Canaan to get married. Abram made sure by a vow that his servant went to his homeland to find Isaaka a wife (see Genesis 24).
His sons by Keturah were sent out to the east country (Genesis 25:6). Ismael, his son by Hagar, who was an Egyptian, found Ismael a wife from the land of Egypt (Genesis 21:21). When Akobe was of age, Isaaka vehemently commanded Akobe not to marry the daughters of Canaan.
Esau’s Disregard of Family
Therefore, for Esau to marry a wife from the daughters of Heth, daughters of the land of Canaan, this action displayed, to a degree, his disregard for his parent’s command (Genesis 27:46). This is presumably why the Great Spirit overlooked him for the birthright endorsements, which is the presidency of the priesthood after the order of Melchizedek.
This was given to Akobe, who is called Israel in the scripture. Esau did attempt to please his father by marrying Bashemath, Ismael’s daughter. The big deal to avoid marrying the Canaanites was because the Canaanites had a few things going against them according to the text. They served strange deities or gods with extremely questionable practices. In addition, they may have altered their DNA as it is referred to in Jude chapter 1, verse 7.
The Canaanites went after strange flesh and this is why Abram and his descendants were commanded by the Great Creator to stay away from them in marriages and in following their ways. Furthermore, it is why the children of Akobe were commanded to take the land of Canaan, as the Great Spirit drove the Canaanites out of the land.
The Generations of Esau
Esau eventually left the land of Canaan when his substance was very great; he settled on Mount Seir. He formed dukes, a government in the land of Edom, merging with the families of Canaan, Seir to be exact. Esau is an important figure in the story of the Bible, his records should have more to them than this one chapter.
