Concise Complete
Esau and his descendants.
The registers in this Chapter show the faithfulness of
God to his promise to Abraham. Esau is here called Edom, that name which kept up
the remembrance of his selling his birth-right for a mess of pottage. Esau
continued the same profane despiser of heavenly things. In outward prosperity
and honour, the children of the covenant are often behind, and those that are
out of the covenant get the start. We may suppose it a trial to the faith of
God's Israel, to hear of the pomp and power of the kings of Edom, while they
were bond-slaves in Egypt; but those that look for great things from God, must
be content to wait for them; God's time is the best time. Mount Seir is called
the land of their possession. Canaan was at this time only the land of promise.
Seir was in the possession of the Edomites. The children of this world have
their all in hand, and nothing in hope, luke 16:25; while the
children of God have their all in hope, and next to nothing in hand. But, all
things considered, it is beyond compare better to have Canaan in promise, than
mount Seir in possession.
