Promise Over Possession
Matthew Henry notes that this long list of Edomite leaders contrasts with Israel's slavery in Egypt. While Esau's descendants had immediate, worldly power, Israel had a future promise from God. This teaches that it is far better to have God's promise for the future than to have worldly possessions in the present. Believers are called to trust God's timing.
