“Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom.”
This is the account of the family line of Esau — that is, Edom. The toledot of Esau is given its full section — the same structure as the toledot of Ishmael in Genesis 25:12. The narrative honors the non-covenant line with its own genealogy. The application: the covenant story gives the non-covenant family line its own record, its own names, its own completeness.
