| Genesis 36:15 | These were dukes of the sons of Esau: the sons of Eliphaz, the first-born of Esau: duke Theman, duke Omar, duke Sepho, duke Cenez, | Hebrew Aluph, prince of a tribe, or of a thousand; a Chiliarch. (Zach. 5:2.[Zacharias 9:7.?; Micheas 5:2.?]) The Rabbin assert they wore not a crown, as the kings did. (Calmet) --- Both obtained their authority by election. An aristocracy prevailed under the dukes. (Menochius) |
