Michaelis, who is followed by Rosenmüller, thinks the present reading of the Hebrew text (Korah) to be correct, and accounts for the omission of his name in xxxvi. 4, by supposing that Thimna, who, in 1 Chron. i. 36, is mentioned among the sons of Esau, died without children, and therefore is omitted by Moses in the catalogue of Esau's sons, Gen. xxxvi. 4; but that one of his brethren married his widow (according to the law alluded to in Gen. Xxxviii. 8), and that from her was born this Korah, who was a different person from the Korah mentioned in xxxvi. 18. duodecim singuli familiis præfuerint." C. B.

Notwithstanding, Gen. xxxvi. 20, the heads of that people are mentioned next after the Edomites. the Hebrew word as if it had been written jamim (as St. Jerome observes), imagining that as Anah fed his father's asses, he found a great collection of waters (see Vossius, lib. iii. de Idolol., cap. 75), which some fancy to have been hot waters, or baths, as the Vulgar Latin interprets it. But then we must read the Hebrew quite otherwise than we do now: and Bochart gives other reasons against this interpretation; and endeavours to establish another opinion: That by jemim we are to understand emim, a gigantic sort of people, mentioned in Scripture, and next neighbours to the Horites. These Anah is said to find, i.e., to meet withal and encounter; or rather to have fallen upon on a sudden and unexpectedly; as this phrase he shows signifies in Scripture. This opinion he hath confirmed with a great many reasons; to which another late learned writer (Wagenseil) thinks an Who inhabited the land, i.e., before the answer may be given: though he inclines arrival of Esau.-Rosen. Ver. 24. to it, if one thing were not in the way; which makes him think, here is rather meant some herb or plant, called lapelv, which word the LXX. retain, not knowing how to translate it.

Gesen.-, m. pl., Gen. xxxvi. 24 only; it signifies most probably, warm wells, or Bp. Patrick.-24 This was that Anah fountains, which are also to be found in that found the mules in the wilderness.] Not these countries (e.g., that of Kallirhoë). by accident, but by his art and industry Vulgate, aquæ callide, and Jerome adds, he invented (as we speak) this mixture, nonnulli putant aquas calidas juxta punica and produced this kind of creature. So it is commonly interpreted. But the word found, though used four hundred times in Scripture, never signifies (as Bochart hath observed, par. i. Hierozoic., lib. ii. cap. 21), the invention of that which was not before; ever, Ephr. Syri Catena on this passage). but the finding that which already is in The Samaritan text has D, Emæns, linguæ viciniam, quæ Hebrææ contermina est, hoc vocabulo significari.
