In Genesis 36:2–3, Esau’s wives differ from those mentioned in Genesis 26:34 and 28:9—why the discrepancy?
Is there historical or archaeological evidence supporting the lineage claim of Ishmael (Genesis 16:10-11)?
Do the names and alliances in Psalm 83:6-8 reflect actual historical groups, or might they be anachronistic or symbolic references?
What became of Ishmael?(3) Bashemath Ishmael's daughter, sister of Nebajoth.--The Samaritan text reads Mahalath here, and in Genesis 36:4; Genesis 36:10; Genesis 36:17, as in Genesis 28:9. There can be little doubt that Mahalath is the right reading, but the versions, nevertheless, agree with the Masoretic Hebrew text, so that the error must have been of very ancient date. As Mahalath was of a Semitic stock, she would have her own Semitic name, and there would be no double translation of it, as in the case of the daughter of Elon.
