Habakkuk 3:3, it is a prayer, proclaiming GOD's power. It appears to me that he is saying by evidence of GOD moving through Teman. As Judgement references Jeremiah 49:20, Ezekiel 25:13, Amos 1:12, Obediah 1, notice Genesis 36:15Jeremiah 49:7, Edom named Esau same person, Teman was in his lineage.
Notice also when examining Habakkuk 3:3, tap scripture then scroll down, you'll see the word used fof GOD is (elowah) it's same word used in Daniel 11:38, Deuteronomy 32:17, Habakkuk 1:1, seemingly significant as different than uses in the rest of scripture, as names of GOD.
I believe it's used like that here in Genesis 6:9-10 also.
"These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth."
Also here in Genesis 36.
Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom.
Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite;
AND THIS GROUP IF PEOPLE GOES ON UNTIL YOU GET TO
Genesis 36:9 and it gives a list of those of Esau in mount Seir.
"And these are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in mount Seir:"
1Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom.
2Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite;
3 An Bashemath Ishmael's daughter, sister of Nebajoth.
4And Adah bare to Esau Eliphaz; and Bashemath bare Reuel;
5 An Aholibamah bare Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah: these are the sons of Esau, which were born unto him in the land of Canaan.
6And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the persons of his house, and his cattle, and all his beasts, and all his substance, which he had got in the land of Canaan; and went into the country from the face of his brother Jacob.
7For their riches were more than that they might dwell together; and the land wherein they were strangers could not bear them because of their cattle.
8Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau is Edom.
9And these are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in mount Seir:
10These 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.
11And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenaz.
12And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz Esau's son; and she bare to Eliphaz Amalek: these were the sons of Adah Esau's wife.
13And these are the sons of Reuel; Nahath, and Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah: these were the sons of Bashemath Esau's wife.
14 An these were the sons of Aholibamah, the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon, Esau's wife: and she bare to Esau Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah.
15 Thes were dukes of the sons of Esau: the sons of Eliphaz the firstborn son of Esau; duke Teman, duke Omar, duke Zepho, duke Kenaz,
16 Duk Korah, duke Gatam, and duke Amalek: these are the dukes that came fr Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these were the sons of Adah.
17And these are the sons of Reuel Esau's son; duke Nahath, duke Zerah, duke Shammah, duke Mizzah: these are the dukes that came of Reuel in t
Hi Karla. In the Hebrew, the language of the Old Testament, the word is defined as 'captain or chief'. So, when we see 'dukes' in Genesis 36:19,29,30 and so on, we can understand that these men were chiefs/leaders in their tribes. The KJV uses the word 'duke' since this word was most commonly used in 17th century AD England to represent leaders. And we know that in British royalty, the titles of duke & duchess are still used - a carry over from the old days.
Esau didn't believe in God's promise of resurrection . He thought he was going to die and he didn't want to . He valued his physical life in this world and didn't believe that he had eternal life with God . He put his life in the here and now above his eternal life in the future because he didn't believe in it . He thought that this life was all there is and therefore wanted to cling on to it . He didn't have faith in God and the promises that God had made .
Esau Sold His Birthright to Jacob, because it held no Value to Him. What We miss is this, This is a Well to Do Family, and Nobody is Going to Starve or Faint or Collapse from lack of Food. Food could be Summoned ,,just like that by Servants. The Birthright also Carried More Responsibility than Esau wanted to Carry. He saw a Easy Out,, and then later on, He could hold it over His Brother. If You are left let's Say,, a Car that You care absolutely nothing about. And Someone Else, says , Hey I can take that Off Your Hands, how much do You want for it? And then Later on, You feel Resentment at that Person, because Time has went by and now You Realize the Value of it now. That's Exactly what Esau did with Jacob, as Time went on, He saw the Value of His Birthright, and became Bitter against Jacob. This is Our Nature, We see as a Whole , Someone being Successful with Something We Struggled with and it Makes Us Frustrated, Envious and even like Esau,, Hostile. But God has a Plan, and Always Remember that All Who Call Upon The Name of the Lord shall be Saved.
Esau was also called Edom, Genesis 36:1, please read: Obadiah 1, whole chapter
Note: Obadiah 1:10-14 "For the violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off forever. In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou was one of them. But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day he became a stranger; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress. Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity; Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossways, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress."

Verse 4. - These are the generations is the usual heading for the different sections into which the Book of Genesis is divided (vial. Genesis 5:1; Genesis 6:9; Genesis 10:1; Genesis 11:10, 27; Genesis 25:12, 19; Genesis 36:1; Genesis 37:2).
All of these proposals are, however, rendered unnecessary by simply observing that toldoth (from yaladh, to bear, to beget; hence begettings, procreations, evolutions, developments) does not describe the antecedents, but the consequents, of either thing or Person (Rosen., Keil, Kalisch).

The historical account of the world, which commences at the completion of the work of creation, is introduced as the "History of the heavens and the earth," and treats in three sections, (a) of the original condition of man in paradise ( Genesis 2:5-25); (b) of the fall ( Genesis 3); (c) of the division of the human race into two widely different families, so far as concerns their relation to God ( Genesis 4).
This chapter gives the lineage of Esau. It says that he left Canaan (the promised land) to live in Seir. There was are mountains there that stretch from the southeast of the dead sea to the gulf of Aqaba. Seir means hairy, so it was named after Esau. His lands were called Edom and he was renamed "Edom" in scriptures, too. Edom means "red" as Esau was known to be hairy and red all over. (perhaps with red hair).
The remainder of the chapter recounts the sons born to Esau from is three wives and also is sons' sons. They were called "dukes" (princes or chieftans). Esau's lineage was the ruling class of this area which was inhabited by other groups when Esau moved there. It does not say how Esau became so powerful over the inhabitants, but perhaps having so many sons and grandsons factored into this.

Hi Stanley. 'Dukes' as in Genesis 36:15ff, is from a the Latin word 'dux', which means 'a leader or a chieftan'. In Hebrew, as we have it here in Genesis is the word, 'alluwph', signifying 'a tribal prince'. So, even though 'dux' (or, duke) is used as a leader or a military head, we see it also used in schools, as in 'dux of the class', or the leading student because of his/her educational prowess.
Remember Abraham's children by Hagar, Sarah, and Keturah represents "many" nations.
Abraham is considered to be the progenitor of MANY NATIONS mentioned in the Bible, the Israelites, Ishmaelites ( Genesis 25:12-18) Edomites ( Genesis 36:1-43]) Amalekites ( Genesis 36:12-16) Kenizzites ( Genesis 36:9-16) Midianites and Assyrians ( Genesis 25:1-5) and through his nephew Lot he was also related to the Moabites and Ammonites.
Believers IN CHRIST, by believing that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins, was buried and rose again, all by grace through faith, WE get the PROMISE by FAITH just like Abraham!
Galatians 3:18
For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
Galatians 3:29
And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Abraham is not our father by progeny, but is our father by his example of FAITH!
Romans 4:16
Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all.
First of all. If I purchased some thing, it becomes mine. If Esau was any honest man he would tell his father what he did. Before birth they struggled so bad that Rebeckah enquired of God the reason. His answer, you are carrying twins, the younger will rule over the older. A spiritual hint that God is interested in the younger..Jacob for head of His Chosen People now called the Jews. Ungodly E
To Ralph M Waters. The Bible is the Inspired word of God written by Devoted Men ..... Every word is true weather we agree disagree God make His choice, even before Esau was born God knew who was the chosen one Esau beau heart was not fix on God so Jacob was the chosen one
Hi Janet; The answer to your question is longer than we have room in this format to explain and teach; but the short answer is, that the heathen Esau would have nothing to do with the God or the faith of his father Isaac and grandfather Abraham; and chose instead the pride and arrogancy of Nimrod and his antichrist exploits and blasphemies. There were no wars nor slaves nor kings before that!
Just as Abram was to be Abraham and Sarai was to be Sarah, Jacob was to be Israel because God is now ready for him to fulfill his mission. No longer the old nature, but walking in the faith that the Messiah, Jesus, would come through the Jewish people.
We should pray for our seed i.e. our Children and grandchildren that none of them will become a tool in the hands of satan. Amalek was a grandson of Esau and he 'via HAMAN through bloodline ' so hated the Israelites so much that he wanted to wipe them out of existence but for divine providence through Esther and Mordecai. Indeed God is wiser than us when He commands us not to be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. Esau and Jacob twins were of the same seed of Abraham but Esau 's wives were from ungodly, polluted bloodline and produced the spiritual 'monster ' called Amalek, the ARCH enemy of Israel. May our seed not produce the Anti Christ or any of his cohorts in Jesus Name.
