Genesis 36

1 Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom.

Now these are the generations of Esau, that is to say, Edom.

2 Esau took wives from the daughters of Canaan: Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite,

Esau's wives were women of Canaan: Adah, the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite,

3 and Basemath, the daughter of Ishmael, sister of Nebaioth.

And Basemath, Ishmael's daughter, the sister of Nebaioth.

4 Then Adah bore Eliphaz. Basemath conceived Reuel.

Adah had a son Eliphaz; and Basemath was the mother of Reuel;

5 Oholibamah conceived Jeush, and Jalam, and Korah. These are the sons of Esau, who were born to him in the land of Canaan.

Oholibamah was the mother of Jeush, Jalam, and Korah; these are the sons of Esau, whose birth took place in the land of Canaan.

6 Then Esau took his wives, and sons, and daughters, and every soul of his house, and his substance, and cattle, and whatever he was able to obtain in the land of Canaan, and he went into another region, withdrawing from his brother Jacob.

Esau took his wives and his sons and his daughters, and all the people of his house, and his beasts and his cattle and all his goods which he had got together in the land of Canaan, and went into the land of Seir, away from his brother Jacob.

7 For they were very wealthy and were not able to live together. Neither was the land of their sojourn able to sustain them, because of the multitude of their flocks.

For their wealth was so great that the land was not wide enough for the two of them and all their cattle.

8 And Esau lived at mount Seir: he is Edom.

So Esau made his living-place in the hill-country of Seir (Esau is Edom).

9 So these are the generations of Esau, the father of Edom, at mount Seir,

And these are the generations of Esau, the father of the Edomites in the hill-country of Seir:

10 and these are the names of his sons: Eliphaz the son of Adah, the wife of Esau, likewise Reuel, the son of Basemath, his wife.

These are the names of Esau's sons: Eliphaz, the son of Esau's wife Adah, and Reuel, the son of Esau's wife Basemath.

11 And Eliphaz had sons: Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenez.

The sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz.

12 Now Timna was the concubine of Eliphaz, the son of Esau. And she bore him Amalek. These are the sons of Adah, the wife of Esau.

And Eliphaz, the son of Esau, had connection with a woman named Timna, who gave birth to Amalek: all these were the children of Esau's wife Adah.

13 And the sons of Reuel were Nahath and Zerah, Shammah and Mizzah. These are the sons of Basemath, the wife of Esau.

And these are the sons of Reuel: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah: they were the children of Esau's wife Basemath.

14 Likewise, these were the sons of Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon, the wife of Esau, whom she bore to him: Jeush, and Jalam, and Korah.

And these are the sons of Esau's wife Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon: she was the mother of Jeush, Jalam, and Korah.

15 These were leaders of the sons of Esau, the sons of Eliphaz, the firstborn of Esau: leader Teman, leader Omar, leader Zepho, leader Kenez,

These were the chiefs among the sons of Esau: the sons of Eliphaz, Esau's first son: Teman, Omar, Zepho, Kenaz,

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

Korah, Gatam, Amalek: all these were chiefs in the land of Edom, the offspring of Eliphaz, the seed of Adah.

17 Likewise, these are the sons of Reuel, the son of Esau: leader Nahath, leader Zerah, leader Shammah, leader Mizzah. And these were the leaders of Reuel, in the land of Edom. These are the sons of Basemath, the wife of Esau.

And these are the sons of Esau's son Reuel: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, Mizzah: these were the chiefs of Reuel in the land of Edom, the children of Esau's wife Basemath.

18 Now these are the sons of Oholibamah, the wife of Esau: leader Jeush, leader Jalam, leader Korah. These were the leaders of Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah and the wife of Esau.

And these are the sons of Esau's wife Oholibamah: Jeush, Jalam, and Korah: these were the chiefs who came from Esau's wife Oholibamah, daughter of Anah.

19 These are the sons of Esau, and these were their leaders: this is Edom.

These were the sons of Esau (that is, Edom), and these were their chiefs.

20 These are the sons of Seir, the Horite, the inhabitants of the land: Lotan, and Shobal, and Zibeon, and Anah,

These are the sons of Seir the Horite who were living in that country; Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah,

21 and Dishon, and Ezer, and Dishan. These were the leaders of the Horites, the sons of Seir, in the land of Edom.

Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan: these are the chiefs of the Horites, offspring of Seir in the land of Edom.

22 Now Lotan produced sons: Hori and Heman. But the sister of Lotan was Timna.

The children of Lotan were Hori and Hemam; Lotan's sister was Timna.

23 And these are the sons of Shobal: Alvan, and Manahath, and Ebal, and Shepho, and Onam.

And these are the children of Shobal: Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho, and Onam.

24 And these are the sons of Zibeon: Aiah and Anah. This is the Anah who found the hot springs in the wilderness, when he was pasturing the donkeys of his father Zibeon.

And these are the children of Zibeon: Aiah and Anah; that same Anah who made the discovery of the water-springs in the waste land, when he was looking after the asses of his father Zibeon.

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

And these are the children of Anah: Dishon and Oholibamah his daughter.

26 And these are the sons of Dishon: Hemdan, and Esheban, and Ithran, and Cheran.

These are the children of Dishon: Hemdan, Eshban, Ithran, and Keran.

27 Likewise, these are the sons of Ezer: Bilhan, and Zaavan, and Akan.

These are the children of Ezer: Bilhan, Zaavan, and Akan.

28 Then Dishan had sons: Uz and Aran.

These are the children of Dishan: Uz and Aran.

29 These were the leaders of the Horites: leader Lotan, leader Shobal, leader Zibeon, leader Anah,

These were the Horite chiefs: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah,

30 leader Dishon, leader Ezer, leader Disan. These were leaders of the Horites who ruled in the land of Seir.

Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan. Such were the Horite chiefs in their order in the land of Seir.

31 Now before the sons of Israel had a king, the kings who ruled in the land of Edom were these:

And these are the kings who were ruling in the land of Edom before there was any king over the children of Israel.

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

Bela, son of Beor, was king in Edom, and the name of his chief town was Dinhabah.

33 Then Bela died, and Jobab, the son of Zerah from Bozrah, reigned in his place.

At his death, Jobab, son of Zerah of Bozrah, became king in his place.

34 And when Jobab was dead, Husham of the land of the Temanites reigned in his place.

And at the death of Jobab, Husham, from the country of the Temanites, became king in his place.

35 Likewise, this one having died, Hadad the son of Bedad reigned in his place. He struck down Midian in the region of Moab. And the name of his city was Avith.

And at the death of Husham, Hadad, son of Bedad, who overcame the Midianites in the field of Moab, became king; his chief town was named Avith.

36 And when Adad was dead, Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his place.

And at the death of Hadad, Samlah of Masrekah became king.

37 Likewise, this one being dead, Shaul of the river Rehoboth, reigned in his place.

And at the death of Samlah, Shaul of Rehoboth by the River became king in his place.

38 And when he also had passed away, Baal-hanan, the son of Achbor, succeeded to the kingdom.

And at the death of Shaul, Baal-hanan, son of Achbor, became king.

39 Likewise, this one being dead, Hadar reigned in his place; and the name of his city was Pau. And his wife was called Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, daughter of Mezahab.

And at the death of Baal-hanan, Hadar became king in his place; his chief town was named Pau, and his wife's name was Mehetabel; she was the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Me-zahab.

40 Therefore, these were the names of the leaders of Esau, by their families, and places, and in their vocabulary: leader Timna, leader Alvah, leader Jetheth,

These are the names of the chiefs of Esau in the order of their families and their places: Timna, Alvah, Jetheth,

41 leader Oholibamah, leader Elah, leader Pinon,

Oholibamah, Elah, Pinon,

42 leader Kanez, leader Teman, leader Mibzar,

Kenaz, Teman, Mibzar,

43 leader Magdiel, leader Iram. These were the leaders of Edom living in the land of their rule: this is Esau, the father of Idumea.

Magdiel, Iram; these are the Edomite chiefs, in their places in their heritage; this is Esau, the father of the Edomites.
