Genesis 36:1-19
"Esau's Family"
Here, God spends a good deal of time delving into Esau's descendants. It is, after all, probably the last time we'll see Esau in Genesis, so this is a sort of closing postscript for him. We can see in the genealogies the beginnings of a clan/tribal nation (Edom) forming. It could be that certain descendants become critical or it might not be. What I do know is that God does not do anything for no reason. Therefore, there is a reason to this family tree being shown.
My [limited] insight? God is preparing for a larger point.
