“And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz Esau’s son; and she bare to Eliphaz Amalek: these were the sons of Adah Esau’s wife.”
Esau's son Eliphaz also had a concubine named Timna, who bore him Amalek. The Amalekites were to become one of Israel's most persistent enemies. The Amalek who will be the source of the enemy nation descends from Esau's grandson through a concubine. The application: the peoples who will oppose Israel in the wilderness are named here in the genealogy of Esau — the opposition has family roots.
