“These are the names of Esau’s sons; Eliphaz the son of Adah the wife of Esau, Reuel the son of Bashemath the wife of Esau.”
These are the names of Esau's sons: Eliphaz, the son of Esau's wife Adah, and Reuel, the son of Esau's wife Basemath. The repetition of the primary sons' names grounds the extended genealogy in the personal names already given. The application: the genealogy builds from the personal to the national — from named individuals to the clans and peoples that descend from them.
