Genesis 36

Esau Moves

1Now these are the records of the generations of Esau (that is, Edom).

2Esau took his wives from the daughters of Canaan: Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah the daughter of Anah, the #36:2 Lit daughter; LXX son (referring to Anah)granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite; 3also Basemath, Ishmael’s daughter, the sister of Nebaioth. 4Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau, and Basemath gave birth to Reuel, 5and Oholibamah gave birth to Jeush, 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 #36:6 Lit the souls of his househis household, and his livestock and all his cattle, and all his property which he had acquired in the land of Canaan, and went to another land away from his brother Jacob. 7For their possessions had become too great for them to live together, and the land where they resided could not support them because of their livestock. 8So Esau lived in the hill country of Seir; Esau is Edom.

Bereshis 36

1Now these are the toldot Esav, who is Edom.

2Esav took his nashim of the Banot Kena'an: Adah Bat Elon the Chitti, and Oholivamah Bat Anah Bat Tziveon the Chivi;

3And Basmat Bat Yishmael, achot Nevayot.

4And Adah bore to Esav Eliphaz; and Basmat bore Reuel;

5And Oholivamah bore Ye'ush, and Ya'alam, and Korach; these are the Bnei Esav, which were born unto him in Eretz Kena'an.

6And Esav took his nashim, and his banim, and his banot, and kol nafshot of his bais, and his mikneh, and all his behemah, and all his possessions, which he had acquired in Eretz Kena'an; and went into the eretz from the face of Ya'akov achiv.

7For their wealth was more than that they might dwell together; and the eretz of their sojourns could not support them because of their mikneh.

8Thus dwelt Esav in har Se'ir; Esav is Edom.

9And these are the toldot Esav avi Edom in har Se'ir:

10These are the shemot Bnei Esav; Eliphaz Ben Adah eshet Esav, Reuel Ben Basmat eshet Esav.

11And the Bnei Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Tzepho, and Gatam, and Kenaz.

31And these are the melechim that reigned in Eretz Edom, before there reigned any melech over the Bnei Yisroel.

32And Bela Ben Be'or reigned in Edom; and the shem of his city was Dinhavah.
