This word is often used to denote a person of authority and influence within a tribal or familial structure. In the ancient Near Eastern context, chiefs were pivotal figures who held both political and military power. They were responsible for the welfare and protection of their people.

This structure is indicative of God's providence in allowing Esau's lineage to flourish and establish itself as a significant entity, despite Esau's earlier choices that led him away from the covenantal blessings given to Jacob. of the sons of Esau Parallel Commentaries ...
