Mizzah is noted as one of the sons of Reuel, who was a son of Esau. This places Mizzah among the Edomites, a group that descended from Esau and inhabited the region of Edom, located to the southeast of Israel.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>Mizzah is mentioned in the Book of Genesis, which provides the genealogical record of Esau's descendants. The relevant passage is found in <a href="/genesis/36-13.htm">Genesis 36:13</a>, which states:<br><br>"These were the sons of Reuel: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. These were the sons of Basemath, Esau’s wife." (<a href="/genesis/36-13.htm">Genesis 36:13</a>)<br><br>This verse situates Mizzah within the broader context of Esau's family, highlighting the lineage through Basemath, one of Esau's wives. The genealogy of Esau is significant in the biblical narrative as it establishes the origins of the Edomite people, who frequently interacted with the Israelites throughout the Old Testament.<br><br><b>Historical and Theological Context:</b><br><br>The Edomites, descendants of Esau, played a notable role in the history of Israel. The relationship between the Israelites and the Edomites was complex, often marked by conflict and tension. This is rooted in the fraternal struggle between Esau and Jacob, which began even before their birth, as described in <a href="/genesis/25-22.htm">Genesis 25:22-26</a>. The rivalry between the two brothers set the stage for the future interactions between their descendants.<br><br>Mizzah, as part of Esau's lineage, represents the continuation of Esau's legacy through Reuel. The genealogies in Genesis serve not only to record family lines but also to illustrate the fulfillment of God's promises and the unfolding of His plan through various peoples and nations. The Edomites, despite their frequent opposition to Israel, are part of the broader narrative of God's dealings with humanity.<br><br><b>Cultural and Geographical Significance:</b><br><br>The land of Edom, associated with Esau's descendants, is characterized by its rugged terrain and strategic location. It was situated along important trade routes, which contributed to its economic significance in the ancient Near East. The Edomites' interactions with neighboring nations, including Israel, were influenced by their geographical position and resources.<br><br>In biblical prophecy, Edom is often mentioned in the context of judgment and restoration. The prophets, including Isaiah and Obadiah, spoke of Edom's downfall due to its pride and hostility towards Israel. However, these prophecies also reflect the broader theme of God's sovereignty over all nations and His ultimate plan for redemption.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b><br><br>Mizzah, though a minor figure in the biblical narrative, is part of the intricate tapestry of genealogies that connect the history of Israel with its neighboring peoples. His mention in the lineage of Esau underscores the enduring impact of familial relationships and divine promises throughout the biblical account.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Mizzah</span><p>defluxion from the head<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Mizzah</span><p>(<i>fear</i>), son of Reuel and grandson of Esau.
