Genesis 36

Esau’s Descendants

1These are the generations of Esau (that is, #ch. 25:30Edom). 2Esau #ch. 26:34 took his wives from the Canaanites: Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, #ver. 14, 18, 25Oholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter#36:2 Hebrew; Samaritan, Septuagint, Syriac son; also verse 14 of Zibeon the Hivite, 3and #[ch. 28:9]Basemath, Ishmael’s daughter, the sister of Nebaioth. 4And Adah bore to Esau, #ver. 10; 1 Chr. 1:35Eliphaz; Basemath bore Reuel; 5and Oholibamah bore 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 the members of his household, his livestock, all his beasts, and all his property that he had acquired in the land of Canaan. He went into a land away from his brother Jacob. 7#ch. 13:6 For their possessions were too great for them to dwell together. #ch. 17:8; 23:4; 28:4; 37:1; Heb. 11:9The land of their sojournings could not support them because of their livestock. 8So Esau settled in #See ch. 32:3 the hill country of Seir. (#ver. 1, 19Esau is Edom.)

9These are the generations of Esau the father of #ver. 43the Edomites in the hill country of Seir. 10These are the names of Esau’s sons: #ver. 4Eliphaz the son of Adah the wife of Esau, Reuel the son of Basemath the wife of Esau. 11The sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz. 12(Timna was a concubine of Eliphaz, Esau’s son; she bore #Num. 24:20; 1 Sam. 15:2, 3Amalek to Eliphaz.) These are the sons of Adah, Esau’s wife. 13These are the sons of Reuel: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. These are the sons of Basemath, Esau’s wife. 14These are the sons of #ver. 2Oholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon, Esau’s wife: she bore to Esau Jeush, Jalam, and Korah.

15These are #Ex. 15:15 the chiefs of the sons of Esau. #ver. 11, 12The sons of Eliphaz the firstborn of Esau: the chiefs Teman, Omar, Zepho, Kenaz, 16Korah, Gatam, and Amalek; these are the chiefs of Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Adah. 17These are the sons of #ver. 13Reuel, Esau’s son: the chiefs Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah; these are the chiefs of Reuel in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Basemath, Esau’s wife. 18These are the sons of #ver. 14Oholibamah, Esau’s wife: the chiefs Jeush, Jalam, and Korah; these are the chiefs born of Oholibamah the daughter of Anah, Esau’s wife. 19These are the sons of Esau (#ver. 1, 8that is, Edom), and these are their chiefs.

20 # For ver. 20-28, see 1 Chr. 1:38-42 These are the sons of #ch. 14:6; Deut. 2:12, 22Seir the Horite, the inhabitants of the land: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, 21Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan; these are the chiefs of the Horites, the sons of Seir in the land of Edom. 22The sons of Lotan were Hori and Hemam; and Lotan’s sister was Timna. 23These are the sons of Shobal: Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho, and Onam. 24These are the sons of Zibeon: Aiah and Anah; he is the Anah who found the hot springs in the wilderness, as he pastured the donkeys of Zibeon his father. 25These are the children of Anah: Dishon and #ver. 2Oholibamah the daughter of Anah. 26These are the sons of Dishon: Hemdan, Eshban, Ithran, and Cheran. 27These are the sons of Ezer: Bilhan, Zaavan, and Akan. 28These are the sons of Dishan: Uz and Aran. 29These are the chiefs of the Horites: the #ver. 20chiefs Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, 30Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan; these are the chiefs of the Horites, chief by chief in the land of Seir.

31 # For ver. 31-43, see 1 Chr. 1:43-54 These are the kings who reigned in the land of Edom, before any king reigned over the Israelites. 32Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom, the name of his city being Dinhabah. 33Bela died, and Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his place. 34Jobab died, and Husham of the land of the Temanites reigned in his place. 35Husham died, and Hadad the son of Bedad, who defeated Midian in the country of Moab, reigned in his place, the name of his city being Avith. 36Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his place. 37Samlah died, and Shaul of #[ch. 26:22]Rehoboth on the Euphrates#36:37 Hebrew the River reigned in his place. 38Shaul died, and Baal-hanan the son of Achbor reigned in his place. 39Baal-hanan the son of Achbor died, and Hadar reigned in his place, the name of his city being Pau; his wife’s name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, daughter of Mezahab.

40These are the names of the chiefs of Esau, according to their clans and their dwelling places, by their names: the chiefs Timna, Alvah, Jetheth, 41Oholibamah, Elah, #[Num. 33:42]Pinon, 42Kenaz, Teman, Mibzar, 43Magdiel, and Iram; these are the chiefs of Edom (that is, Esau, the father of #ver. 9Edom), according to their dwelling places in the land of their possession.

CHAPTER 36

1Forsooth these be the generations of Esau; he is Edom.

2Esau took wives#36:2 Each of Esau’s three wives were known by two names: Adah, also known as Bashemath; Judith, also known as Oholibamah or Aholibamah; and another Bashemath, also known as Mahalath. of the daughters of Canaan; Adah, the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah, the son of Zibeon the Hivite;

3also Bashemath, the daughter of Ishmael, the sister of Nebajoth.

4And Adah childed Eliphaz; Bashemath childed Reuel;

5Oholibamah childed Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah. These were the sons of Esau, that were born to him in the land of Canaan.

6Soothly Esau took his wives, and his sons, and daughters, and each soul of his house, and his cattle, and sheep, and all things which he had in the land of Canaan, and went into another country, and departed from his brother Jacob;

7for they were full rich, and they might not dwell together, and the land of their pilgrimage sustained not them, for the multitude of flocks.

8And Esau dwelled in the hill of Seir; he is Edom.

9Forsooth these were the genera-tions of Esau, father of Edom, in the hill of Seir,

10and these were the names of his sons; Eliphaz, the son of Adah, wife of Esau, also Reuel, the son of Bashemath, wife of Esau.

11And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenaz.

12Forsooth Timna was the secondary wife of Eliphaz, Esau’s son, which Timna childed to him Amalek. These were the sons of Adah, Esau’s wife.

13Forsooth the sons of Reuel were Nahath, and Zerah, and Shammah, and Mizzah. These were the sons of Bashemath, Esau’s wife.

14And these were the sons of Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah, son of Zibeon, Esau’s wife, which she childed to him; Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah.

15These were dukes of the sons of Esau; the sons of Eliphaz, the first engendered of Esau; duke Teman, duke Omar, duke Zepho, duke Kenaz,

16duke Korah, duke Gatam, and duke Amalek. These were the sons of Eliphaz, in the land of Edom, and these were the sons of Adah.

17Also these were the sons of Reuel, Esau’s son; duke Nahath, duke Zerah, duke Shammah, duke Mizzah; forsooth these dukes were of Reuel, in the land of Edom. These were the sons of Bashemath, Esau’s wife.

18Forsooth these were the sons of Oholibamah, Esau’s wife; duke Jeush, duke Jaalam, duke Korah; these were [the] dukes of Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah, Esau’s wife.

19These were the sons of Esau, and these were dukes of them; he is Edom.

20These were the sons of Seir the Horite, inhabiters of the land; Lotan, and Shobal, and Zibeon, and Anah,

21and Dishon, and Ezer, and Dishan; these dukes were of Horites, the son[s] of Seir, in the land of Edom.

22Forsooth the sons of Lotan were Hori, and Hemam; soothly the sister of Lotan was Timna.

23And these were the sons of Shobal; Alvan, and Manahath, and Ebal, Shepho, and Onam.

24And these were the sons of Zibeon; Ajah, and Anah; this is Ahan that found hot waters in the wilderness, when he kept the asses of Zibeon, his father;

25and he had a son, Dishon, and a daughter, Oholibamah.

26And these were the sons of Dishon; Hemdan, and Eshban, and Ithran, and Cheran.

27Also these were the sons of Ezer; Bilhan, and Zaavan, and Akan.

28And Dishon had sons; Uz, and Aran.

29These were the dukes of Horites; duke Lotan, duke Shobal, duke Zibeon, duke Anah,

30duke Dishon, duke Ezer, duke Dishan; these were the dukes of Horites, that were lords in the land of Seir.

31Forsooth [the] kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before that the sons of Israel had a king, were these;

32Bela, the son of Beor, and the name of his city was Dinhabah.

33Forsooth Bela died, and Jobab, the son of Zerah of Bozrah, reigned for him.

34And when Jobab was dead, Husham of the land of Temani reigned for him.

35And when he was dead, Hadad, the son of Bedad, that smote Midian in the land of Moab, and the name of his city was Avith, reigned for him.

36And when Hadad was dead, Samlah of Masrekah reigned for him.

39And when he was dead, Hadar reigned for him, and the name of the city of Hadar was Pau, and the name of his wife was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab.

42duke Kenaz, duke Teman, duke Mibzar,
