And these are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in mount Seir:
Esau himself was the son of another person who can be identified. He became the father and beginning of the Edomite nation in Mount Seir. The verse introduces the record of the generations of Esau and the nations that sprang from him.
This record comes after the death of Isaac at age 180. At that time Esau and Jacob probably met for the last time. Jacob was then about 109 years old, Joseph was 17, and Benjamin was a small child two to four years old.
