Welcome to my Hebrew reading & language series.
Genesis 36:14-19
This is the second of three posts where we read through the names of the wives and children of Esau (Edom). I read through all of the names and compared them to the English words written below the Hebrew. They all match our known pronunciation!
These three posts would be a great place to start for people who are first starting to learn Hebrew. With these passages, one could read and confirm their pronunciation as well as practicing the right letter/vowel order and sounds as one goes through it. If you are learning Hebrew, you will see how valuable this is.
Besides those reasons, the history and genealogy of the blood lines needed to be tracked to find out who is of what line for the purpose of rights and ruling class placement over time.
