dukes . The word duke is from the Latin dux , a captain or leader , from duco , to lead , guide; which is the exact import of the Hebrew (אלוף [Strong's H441]) , alluph , from אלף , to lead , guide; and is here applied to heads of families , chieftains , or princes , who were military leaders.

Duke Korah . As it is certain from Genesis 36 . 4 , that Eliphaz was Esau's son by Adah , and from Genesis 36 . 11 , and Genesis 36 . 12 , that Eliphaz had but six sons , "Teman , Omar , Zepho , Gatam , Kenaz , and Amalek;" as is is also certain , from Genesis 36 . 5 , and Genesis 36 . 14 , that Korah was the son of Esau . not Eliphaz by Aholibamah; and as the words duke Korah are omitted by both the Samaritan text and version , Dr. Kennicott pronounces them to be an interpolation.

Bozrah . Bozrah , Bezer , or Bostra , was situated in Arabia Deserta , and the eastern part of Edom; and , according to Eusebius , was 24 miles from Edrei. It afterwards belonged to Moab , and was given by Moses to Reuben , but again reverted to Edom. It is now called Boszra; and is described by Burckhardt as the largest town in the Haouran , including its ruins , though only inhabited by about twelve or fifteen families. It is situated in the open plain , two hours distant from Aare , and is at present the last inhabited place in the south-east extremity of the Haouran. It is of an oval shape , it greatest length being from east to west; and its circumference three quarters of an hour.
