Genesis 36

1 The following is the genealogy of Esau (also known as Edom).

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

2 Esau married two Canaanite women: Adah, daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah, daughter of Anah, and granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite.

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,

3 In addition he married Basemath, daughter of Ishmael and sister of Nebaioth.

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

4 Adah had a son for Esau named Eliphaz. Basemath had Reul.

Then Adah bore Eliphaz. Basemath conceived Reuel.

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

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

6 Esau took his wives, sons and daughters, and everyone in his household, together with his livestock, all his other animals, and all the possessions he had gained while in Canaan, and went to live in a country far away from his brother Jacob.

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.

7 He did this because the land they were living in couldn't support both of them with all their livestock.

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.

8 Esau settled down in the hill country of Seir.

And Esau lived at mount Seir: he is Edom.

9 The following is the genealogy of Esau, father of the Edomites, who lived in the hill country of Seir:

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

17 These were the sons of Esau's son Reuel: tribal leaders Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. They were the tribal leaders descended from Reuel in the country of Edom, and they were the descendants of Esau's wife Basemath.

19 All these were the sons of Esau (also called Edom), and they were their tribal leaders.

32 Bela, son of Beor, ruled in Edom and the name of his town was Dinhabah.

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

33 When Bela died, Jobab, son of Zerah from Bozrah, took over as king.

34 When Jobab died, Husham from the land of the Temanites took over as king.

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

35 When Husham died, Hadad, son of Bedad, took over as king. He was the one who defeated the Midianites in the country of Moab, and the name of his town was Avith.

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.

36 When Hadad died, Samlah from Masrekah took over as king.

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

37 When Samlah died, Shaul from Rehoboth on the Euphrates took over as king.

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

38 When Shaul died, Baal-hanan, son of Achbor, took over as king.

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

39 When Baal-hanan, son of Achbor, died, Hadad took over as king. The name of his town was Pau, and his wife's name was Mehetabel, daughter of Matred, daughter of Me-zahab.

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.
