NASB | Genesis 28:9 and Esau went to Ishmael, and married, besides the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham's son, the sister of Nebaioth. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 28:9 and [to appease his parents] Esau went to [the family of] Ishmael and took as his wife, in addition to the wives he [already] had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham's son, the sister of Nebaioth [Ishmael's firstborn son]. |
Bible Question: Mahalath has she other name too? |
Bible Answer: In Genesis 28:9 the name of a wife of Esau, daughter of Ishmael, and sister of Nebaioth, called in Genesis 36:3, BASEMATH (which see). The Samaritan Pentateuch, however, throughout Genesis 36 retains "Mahalath." On the other hand, in Genesis 26:34 Basemath is said to be "the daughter of Elon the Hittite," probably a confusion with Adah, as given in Genesis 36:2, or corruption may exist in the lists otherwise.—International Standard Bible Encyclopedia |
