-- MERGED NOTE ------------
Personal name meaning, stringed instrument. Granddaughter of Abraham who was the wife of Esau (Gen 28:9).
A Hittite woman whom Esau married, grieving his parents, Isaac and Rebekah (Gen 26:34-35; 27:46). Some differences in her name and ancestors appear. In Genesis (Gen 28:9), Esau married Mahalath, daughter of Ishmael and sister of Nebajoth. In Genesis (Gen 36:3), Basemath is Ishmael’s daughter and Nebajoth’s sister. Apparently, all three passages refer to the same woman. How one explains the complexity of names, relationships, and backgrounds is not certain. Some talk of literary sources; others of new names given women at marriage; others of copyists’ changes of the text. Reuel, Basemath’s son, became father of four clans in Edom (Gen 36:10, 13, 17).
