One verse can hide two entire storylines. Targum Pseudo-Jonathan on (Genesis 36:12) takes a bare genealogical note and cracks it open to reveal both.
The Torah tells us that Timna was the concubine of Eliphaz the son of Esau, and she bore Amalek. The Targum adds a single electric line: He is Eliphaz the companion of Job.
Suddenly two of the Hebrew Bible's most charged figures are locked together. Amalek — the eternal enemy, the tribe Israel is commanded to blot out for attacking the weak at the rear of the camp (Deuteronomy 25:17) — is the son of the same Eliphaz who will sit in the dust with Job, offering him brittle theological comfort for seven days and seven nights.
One father. Two sons of his legacy: a lineage of cruelty, and a lineage of well-meaning but wounding speech. The Targumist is making a quiet, devastating point. Eliphaz was not a villain. He comforted Job. But he also fathered the nation that would become Israel's deepest curse. A man's good intentions do not purify his offspring. What we sire outlives what we say.
There is another echo too. Amalek's mother, Timna, was according to the sages a princess who begged to convert and join Abraham's house — and was turned away. Rejected by holiness, she bore its enemy. The Targum is telling us that hatred is rarely born from nothing. It is often born from a door that stayed shut too long.
