“Duke Korah, duke Gatam, and duke Amalek: these are the dukes that came of Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these were the sons of Adah.”
Chief Korah, Chief Gatam, and Chief Amalek. These were the chiefs descended from Eliphaz in Edom; they were grandsons of Adah. The inclusion of Amalek among the Edomite chiefs is the genealogical establishment of the Amalekite people's origins. The application: the enemies of Israel in later narratives have their origins traced in the genealogy that honors every branch of the family tree.
