	Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible [Genesis, Chapter XXXVI]. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Because the Edomites were neighbours to Israel, and their genealogy would be of use to give light to the following stories of what passed between them.
		Edomites may be dukes with men, but Israelites indeed are made to our God kings and priests.
		This comes in here, not only to give light to the story, but to be a standing reflection upon the Edomites for intermarrying with them, by which, it is probable, they learned their way, and corrupted themselves.

		The Edomites were one of the important neighbor-nations of the ancient Hebrews--and they were their kinsmen as well.
		The primary homeland of the Edomites was in the area east of the Arabah valley, which extended from the Dead Sea south to the eastern arm at the northern end of the Red Sea (Gulf of Elath or aqabah).
		Thus there is dear evidence now that the Edomite territory extended--at least at times--into the area to the west of the valley where their border has usually been drawn.

	Chapter 18: The Jewish Holdout Against Idolatry
		This is because the Jewish authorities kept up with the migrations of their brethren the Edomites (Edom or Esau was a twin brother to Jacob and their descendants were kin to the Jews).
		It was reckoned that in early times, even before the time of David, descendants of the Edomites (or a portion of them) moved from their area south and east of Jerusalem into the northern coastal towns of Sidon, and then to Tyre where they made their northern capital.
		All Jews from then onward (and even the Samaritans in their literature) refer to the Romans as "Edomites." Both the Jewish authorities and those of the Samaritans considered that Roman civilization was being governed by the descendants of the twin brother of Jacob.

		This kinship was also exhibited in the fact that Edomites were friends with the Israelites even after King Saul’s first conquest of them(1 Samuel 14:47), as Doeg the Edomite was in Saul’s court.
		The bottom line is: it was okay for God to exert His wrath on the Edomites due to the affronts by them, but He wanted the Israelites to be a peaceable people who would not seek war at every turn.

		All three became sheiks in the later Edomite government (Gen.36:5, 18), but they do not appear to rank as high or to have been as prominent as the children of Esau's other wives.
		In fact, in listing the sheiks derived from Esau in Genesis 36:15-19, this wife, and her children are given last place, as being in honor of a lower rank than the others.
		From the foregoing we can see that in their origin the Edomites, the descendents of Esau, were a mixture of Hebrew, Hittite, Hivite, Ishmaelite (that is, Arabian) and Egyptian stock.
