Edom
Esau’s descendants, chiefs, and kings
Genesis 36 is the controlling register for Edom: Esau’s family, the Horites of Seir, the chiefs, and the kings who reigned before Israel had a king. Jasher adds wars and reign lengths for examination.
The governing order
Scripture establishes the line; Jasher supplies additional detail.
Additional narratives are retained as testimony and always identified by source.
Where Jasher adds an identity, event, age, or conflict absent from Scripture, the distinction remains visible.
