Specifically, Jetheth is listed as one of the chiefs (or dukes) of Edom, a region and people descended from Esau. The name appears in the context of the tribal leaders who descended from Esau, indicating a position of authority or leadership within the Edomite community. The mention of Jetheth is found in the book of Genesis, which provides a record of the lineage and tribal organization of Esau's descendants. The genealogies serve to establish the historical and familial connections of the Edomites, who were often in conflict with the Israelites throughout biblical history. Biblical Reference: • Genesis 36:40 (BSB): "These are the names of Esau’s chiefs, according to their families and regions, by their names: Chief Timna, Chief Alvah, Chief Jetheth," The listing of Jetheth among the chiefs of Edom highlights the structured leadership and the importance of lineage in the ancient Near Eastern context. The genealogical records in Genesis emphasize the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham regarding the multitude of nations that would come from his descendants, including those through Esau.
