Wives of Esau
Reuven Chaim (Rudolph) Klein
'The Bible mentions Esau's three wives in two different chapters, yet the names given to them are inconsistent. In Genesis 26, Esau is said to have taken Canaanite wives, Judith daughter of Beeri the Hittite and Basemath daughter of Elon the Hittite (Gen. 26: 34). In addition, Esau later married Mahalath daughter of Ishmael (Gen. 28: 9). However, when the Bible details the genealogy of Esau's descendants in Genesis 36, it gives other names for Esau's wives–Adah daughter of Elon the Hittite, Oholibamah daughter of Anah daughter of Zibeon the Hivite, and Basemath daughter of Ishmael (Gen. 36: 2-3). The traditional commentators find various ways of reconciling this discrepancy. At one end of the spectrum, Rashi explains that both accounts discuss the same three women and for various reasons they are referred to by different names. At the other end of the spectrum, some explain that Esau took the wives mentioned in Genesis 36 in addition to those mentioned earlier, making the number of Esau's wives six in all. Other commentators take intermediate approaches, declaring that some of the wives named on the two lists are identical, while others are not.'
