Overview

With Magdiel and Iram the Chronicler closes the list of Edom's chiefs (Genesis 36:43). The summary 'these are the chiefs of Edom' ends the long survey of the nations descended from Noah and Abraham. Having dealt fully with the surrounding peoples, the Chronicler is now free to focus on Israel, the heart of his book.
