Genesis 36:31-43
"Rulers of Edom"
This, here, is not a genealogy so much as a list of rulers. From what I read, the author links these men to Esau's descendants at the end of the passage. Although, there is mention of a Temanite (Teman is one of the descendants of Esau and a clan chief of Edom). Right there, we have a link tying all three together. Not quite what I was expecting, but I surmise that the point of these last three passages is not to name or list, but to establish the origins of Edom as stemming from the same root as Israel while showing them as distinct difference between the two and using them as an evangelistic opportunity.
