Footnotes

  1. 20 Horites. Most likely these are the same as the well-known people of ancient Near Eastern texts described as Hurrians. They were geographically widespread and probably non-Semitic. Genesis speaks of them as the indigenous peoples of Edom that Esau expelled (Gen 36:8–19, 31–43) and also as among those who confronted the kings of the east (Gen 14:6).
  2. 21 Most modern English versions, beginning with the (1901), regard vv. 10–12 as parenthetical to the narrative.
