  1. 22 For this particular section, see W. F. Albright, “From the Patriarchs to Moses: 2. Moses out of Egypt,” 36 (1973): 57–58; J. R. Bartlett, “The Land of Seir and the Brotherhood of Edom,” 20 (1969): 1–20, and “The Rise and Fall of the Kingdom of Edom,” 104 (1972): 22–37, and “The Brotherhood of Edom,” 4 (1977): 2–7.
  2. 23 Heb “And Moses sent.”
  3. 24 Some modern biblical scholars are convinced, largely through arguments from silence, that there were no unified kingdoms in Edom until the 9th century, and no settlements there before the 12th century, and so the story must be late and largely fabricated. The evidence is beginning to point to the contrary. But the cities and residents of the region would largely be Bedouin, and so leave no real remains.
  4. 25 Heb “found.”
