which inhabited the land] That is, before Esau did there inhabit; whose posteritie by their sword made themselves roome in the Countrey, by expelling the old inhabitants thence, Deuteronomy 2:12. So verifying Jacobs prediction, Genesis 27:40. to their gaine, and glory in the world; but withall it is to be noted, that Esau had married Aholibamah neece to Zibeon the third sonne of Scir, vers. 2. &20. of this Chapter, yet for all this affiitie, Esaus posteritie expelled their kinsmen by marriage out of their possession: There is no trust then in the alliances of wicked men; though they make marriages with one another, they will violate all lawes of affinitie and friendship for their owne advantage. See Gen. 31. 5: 23, 24, 29.
