Genesis 26:34 - Exposition

And Esau was forty years old —literally, a son of forty years; the age of Isaac when he married Rebekah ( Genesis 25:20 )— when he took to wife Judith ( Jehudith , "Celebrated," "Praised,'' if Shemitic; but the name is probably Phoenician) the daughter of Beeri —("of a well"? "The Well-finder," vide Genesis 36:24 )—the Hittits, and Bashemath ("Sweet-smelling," "Fragrant") the daughter of Elon the Hittite)— adding to them afterwards Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, and sister of Nebajoth ( Genesis 28:9 ). On Esau's wives vide Genesis 36:2 , Genesis 36:3 .
