Translation commentary on Genesis 36:29 - 36:30

Verses 29-30 summarize and repeat the names of the seven ancestors of the Horite clans.

These are the chiefs of the Horites: These points forward. Chiefs, as throughout verses 20-30, refers to the names of the ancestors or founders of the Horite clans. Because of the repetition it is advisable to join these two verses, as in Good News Translation. See Good News Translation for translation model.
