Genesis 36:1 introduces the generations of Esau, who is also called Edom. This connects to Genesis 25:30, where Esau is first called Edom after selling his birthright for red stew.
Genesis 36:8 states that Esau settled in the hill country of Seir, which is Edom. Deuteronomy 2:5 instructs the Israelites not to contend with Edom, as God has given Mount Seir to Esau.
Genesis 36:12 mentions Amalek, the grandson of Esau. This connects to Exodus 17:8-16, where the Amalekites attack Israel, leading to a significant battle.
Genesis 36:31 notes the kings who reigned in Edom before any king reigned over the Israelites. This prefigures Israel's request for a king in 1 Samuel 8:5.
Genesis 36:43 concludes the genealogy of Esau, father of the Edomites. Obadiah 1:1-4 prophesies against Edom, highlighting their pride and eventual downfall.
