Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(12) Amalek.--We have already read of the "field of the Amalekite" in Genesis 14:7. As Balaam describes Amalek as "the beginning of nations" (so the Heb., Numbers 24:20), the race can scarcely have had so ignoble an origin as to have sprung from a concubine of Eliphaz; for we gather from Amos 6:1 that the phrase used by Balaam implied precedence and nobility. It was, moreover, one of the most widely spread races of antiquity, occupying the whole country from Shur, on the borders of Egypt, to Havilah, in Arabia Felix. But probably there was a fusion of some of the Horites with the Amalekites, just as the Kenezites, under Caleb, were fused into the tribe of Judah. For in 1Chronicles 4:42-43, we find the Simeonites invading Mount Seir, and smiting Amalekites there. Of these Amalekites in Seir, Amalek, the grandson of Esau, was probably the founder; for in Genesis 36:16 he is called a duke, and therefore one district of the country would belong to his descendants, in the same manner as each son of Jacob had a territory called after his name. In this district the chiefs would be Semites of the race of Esau; the mass of the people a blended race of Horites. and Amalekites. There is no difficulty in the absence of their names from Genesis 10. Though Balaam magnified them, they were regarded by Israel, not as a nation, but as a hateful horde of plunderers.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewAdditionally, Timna,וְתִמְנַ֣ע ׀ (wə·ṯim·na‘)Conjunctive waw | Noun - proper - feminine singularStrong's 8555: Timna -- an Edomite namea concubineפִילֶ֗גֶשׁ (p̄î·le·ḡeš)Noun - feminine singularStrong's 6370: A concubine, a paramourof Esau’sעֵשָׂ֔ו (‘ê·śāw)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 6215: Esau -- oldest son of Isaacsonבֶּן־ (ben-)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 1121: A sonEliphaz,לֶֽאֱלִיפַז֙ (le·’ĕ·lî·p̄az)Preposition-l | Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 464: Eliphaz -- 'God is fine gold', a son of Esau, also a friend of Jobgave birth toוַתֵּ֥לֶד (wat·tê·leḏ)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person feminine singularStrong's 3205: To bear young, to beget, medically, to act as midwife, to show lineageAmalek.עֲמָלֵ֑ק (‘ă·mā·lêq)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 6002: Amalek -- a descendant of Esau, also his posterityTheseאֵ֕לֶּה (’êl·leh)Pronoun - common pluralStrong's 428: These, thoseare the grandsonsבְּנֵ֥י (bə·nê)Noun - masculine plural constructStrong's 1121: A sonof Esau’sעֵשָֽׂו׃ (‘ê·śāw)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 6215: Esau -- oldest son of Isaacwifeאֵ֥שֶׁת (’ê·šeṯ)Noun - feminine singular constructStrong's 802: Woman, wife, femaleAdah.עָדָ֖ה (‘ā·ḏāh)Noun - proper - feminine singularStrong's 5711: Adah -- two non-Israelite womenJump to PreviousAdah Amalek Am'alek Bare Beareth Birth Bore Concubine Connection Eliphaz El'iphaz Esau Esau's Grandsons Timna Timnath Wife
