These are the sons of Oholibamah the daughter of Anah the son of Zibeon: These points forward to the names of Oholibamah’s three sons who are listed in verse 5 and again in verse 18 as chiefs. No grandsons of Oholibamah are mentioned. Note that the expression Oholibamah the daughter of Anah the son of Zibeon is the same as in Gen 36.2. Translators should treat the expression the same way in both verses.
