Genesis 36

¹These are the descendants of Esau (that is, Edom). ²Esau took his wives from the Canaanites: Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, Oholibaʹmah the daughter of Anah the son of Zibeon the Hivite, ³and Basʹemath, Ishʹmael’s daughter, the sister of Nebaʹioth. ⁴And Adah bore to Esau, Elʹiphaz; Basʹemath bore Reuʹel; ⁵and Oholibaʹmah bore Jeʹush, Jalam, and Korah. These are the sons of Esau who were born to him in the land of Canaan.

⁶Then Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters, and all the members of his household, his cattle, all his beasts, and all his property which he had acquired in the land of Canaan; and he went into a land away from his brother Jacob. ⁷For their possessions were too great for them to dwell together; the land of their sojournings could not support them because of their cattle. ⁸So Esau dwelt in the hill country of Seʹir; Esau is Edom.

⁹These are the descendants of Esau the father of the Eʹdomites in the hill country of Seʹir. ¹⁰These are the names of Esau’s sons: Elʹiphaz the son of Adah the wife of Esau, Reuʹel the son of Basʹemath the wife of Esau. ¹¹The sons of Elʹiphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz. ¹²(Timna was a concubine of Elʹiphaz, Esau’s son; she bore Amʹalek to Elʹiphaz.) These are the sons of Adah, Esau’s wife. ¹³These are the sons of Reuʹel: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. These are the sons of Basʹemath, Esau’s wife. ¹⁴These are the sons of Oholibaʹmah the daughter of Anah the son of Zibʹeon, Esau’s wife: she bore to Esau Jeʹush, Jalam, and Korah.

¹⁵These are the chiefs of the sons of Esau. The sons of Elʹiphaz the first-born of Esau: the chiefs Teman, Omar, Zepho, Kenaz, ¹⁶Korah, Gatam, and Amʹalek; these are the chiefs of Elʹiphaz in the land of Edom; they are the sons of Adah. ¹⁷These are the sons of Reuʹel, Esau’s son: the chiefs Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah; these are the chiefs of Reuʹel in the land of Edom; they are the sons of Basʹemath, Esau’s wife. ¹⁸These are the sons of Oholibaʹmah, Esau’s wife: the chiefs Jeʹush, Jalam, and Korah; these are the chiefs born of Oholibaʹmah the daughter of Anah, Esau’s wife. ¹⁹These are the sons of Esau (that is, Edom), and these are their chiefs.

²⁰These are the sons of Seʹir the Horite, the inhabitants of the land: Lotan, Shobal, Zibʹeon, Anah, ²¹Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan; these are the chiefs of the Horites, the sons of Seʹir in the land of Edom. ²²The sons of Lotan were Hori and Heman; and Lotan’s sister was Timna. ²³These are the sons of Shobal: Alvan, Manʹahath, Ebal, Shepho, and Onam. ²⁴These are the sons of Zibʹeon: Aʹiah and Anah; he is the Anah who found the hot springs in the wilderness, as he pastured the asses of Zibʹeon his father. ²⁵These are the children of Anah: Dishon and Oholibaʹmah the daughter of Anah. ²⁶These are the sons of Dishon: Hemdan, Eshban, Ithran, and Cheran. ²⁷These are the sons of Ezer: Bilhan, Zaʹavan, and Akan. ²⁸These are the sons of Dishan: Uz and Aran. ²⁹These are the chiefs of the Horites: the chiefs Lotan, Shobal, Zibʹeon, Anah, ³⁰Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan; these are the chiefs of the Horites, according to their clans in the land of Seʹir.

³¹These are the kings who reigned in the land of Edom, before any king reigned over the Israelites. ³²Bela the son of Beʹor reigned in Edom, the name of his city being Dinʹhabah. ³³Bela died, and Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his stead. ³⁴Jobab died, and Husham of the land of the Teʹmanites reigned in his stead. ³⁵Husham died, and Hadad the son of Bedad, who defeated Midʹian in the country of Moab, reigned in his stead, the name of his city being Avith. ³⁶Hadad died, and Samlah of Masreʹkah reigned in his stead. ³⁷Samlah died, and Shaul of Rehoʹboth on the Euphraʹtes reigned in his stead. ³⁸Shaul died, and Baʹal-haʹnan the son of Achbor reigned in his stead. ³⁹Baʹal-haʹnan the son of Achbor died, and Hadar reigned in his stead, the name of his city being Pau; his wife’s name was Mehetʹabel, the daughter of Matred, daughter of Meʹzahab.

⁴⁰These are the names of the chiefs of Esau, according to their families and their dwelling places, by their names: the chiefs Timna, Alvah, Jetheth, ⁴¹Oholibaʹmah, Elah, Pinon, ⁴²Kenaz, Teman, Mibzar, ⁴³Magʹdiel, and Iram; these are the chiefs of Edom (that is, Esau, the father of Edom), according to their dwelling places in the land of their possession.
