Hi Karla. In the Hebrew, the language of the Old Testament, the word is defined as 'captain or chief'. So, when we see 'dukes' in Genesis 36:19,29,30 and so on, we can understand that these men were chiefs/leaders in their tribes. The KJV uses the word 'duke' since this word was most commonly used in 17th century AD England to represent leaders. And we know that in British royalty, the titles of duke & duchess are still used - a carry over from the old days.
