Genesis 36 (New American Standard)

Esau Moves

1 Now these are the records of the generations of ¹Esau (that is, Edom ). 2 Esau ²took his wives from the daughters of Canaan : Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and ³Oholibamah the daughter of Anah and the ⁴granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite ; 3 also Basemath, Ishmael's daughter, the sister of Nebaioth. 4 Adah bore ⁵Eliphaz to Esau, and Basemath bore Reuel, 5 and Oholibamah bore Jeush and Jalam and Korah. These are the sons of Esau who were born to him in the land of Canaan. 6 ⁶Then Esau took his wives and his sons and his daughters and all ^ahis household, and his livestock and all his cattle and all his goods which he had acquired in the land of Canaan, and went to another land away from his brother Jacob. 7 ⁷For their property had become too great for them to ^blive together, and the ⁸land where they ⁹sojourned could not sustain them because of their livestock. 8 So Esau lived in the hill country of ¹⁰Seir ; Esau is ¹¹Edom.

Descendants of Esau

9 These then are the records of the generations of Esau the father of ^cthe Edomites in the hill country of Seir. 10 These are the names of Esau's sons : Eliphaz the son of Esau's wife Adah, Reuel the son of Esau's wife Basemath. 11 The sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, ^dZepho and Gatam and Kenaz. 12 Timna was a concubine of Esau's son Eliphaz and she bore ¹²Amalek to Eliphaz. These are the sons of Esau's wife Adah. 13 These are the sons of Reuel : Nahath and Zerah, Shammah and Mizzah. These were the sons of Esau's wife Basemath. 14 These were the sons of Esau's wife Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah and the ^egranddaughter of Zibeon : ^fshe bore to Esau, Jeush and Jalam and Korah. 15 These are the chiefs of the sons of Esau. The sons of Eliphaz, the firstborn of Esau, are chief Teman, chief Omar, chief Zepho, chief Kenaz, 16 chief Korah, chief Gatam, chief Amalek. These are the chiefs ^gdescended from Eliphaz in the land of Edom ; these are the sons of Adah. 17 These are the sons of Reuel, Esau's son : chief Nahath, chief Zerah, chief Shammah, chief Mizzah. These are the chiefs ^hdescended from Reuel in the land of Edom ; these are the sons of Esau's wife Basemath. 18 These are the sons of Esau's wife Oholibamah : chief Jeush, chief Jalam, chief Korah. These are the chiefs ⁱdescended from Esau's wife Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah. 19 These are the sons of Esau (that is, Edom ), and these are their chiefs. 20 These are the sons of Seir ¹³the Horite, the inhabitants of the land : Lotan and Shobal and Zibeon and Anah, 21 and Dishon and Ezer and Dishan. These are the chiefs ^jdescended from the Horites, the sons of Seir in the land of Edom. 22 The sons of Lotan were Hori and ^kHemam ; and Lotan's sister was Timna. 23 These are the sons of Shobal : ^lAlvan and Manahath and Ebal, ^mShepho and Onam. 24 These are the sons of Zibeon : Aiah and Anah -he is the Anah who found the hot springs in the wilderness when he was pasturing the donkeys of his father Zibeon. 25 These are the children of Anah : Dishon, and Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah. 26 These are the sons of ⁿ¹⁴Dishon : ^oHemdan and Eshban and Ithran and Cheran. 27 These are the sons of Ezer : Bilhan and Zaavan and ^pAkan. 28 These are the sons of Dishan : Uz and Aran. 29 These are the chiefs ^qdescended from the Horites : chief Lotan, chief Shobal, chief Zibeon, chief Anah, 30 chief Dishon, chief Ezer, chief Dishan. These are the chiefs ^rdescended from the Horites, according to their various chiefs in the land of Seir. 31 Now these are the kings who reigned in the land of Edom before any ¹⁵king reigned over the sons of Israel. 32 ^s16Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom, and the name of his city was Dinhabah. 33 Then Bela died, and Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah became king in his place. 34 Then Jobab died, and Husham of the land of the Temanites became king in his place. 35 Then Husham died, and Hadad the son of Bedad, who ^tdefeated Midian in the field of Moab, became king in his place ; and the name of his city was Avith. 36 Then Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah became king in his place. 37 Then Samlah died, and Shaul of Rehoboth on the Euphrates River became king in his place. 38 Then Shaul died, and Baal-hanan the son of Achbor became king in his place. 39 Then Baal-hanan the son of Achbor died, and ^uHadar became king in his place ; and the name of his city was ^vPau ; and his wife's name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, daughter of Mezahab. 40 Now these are the names of the chiefs ^wdescended from Esau, according to their families and their localities, by their names : chief Timna, chief ^xAlvah, chief Jetheth, 41 chief Oholibamah, chief Elah, chief Pinon, 42 chief Kenaz, chief Teman, chief Mibzar, 43 chief Magdiel, chief Iram. These are the chiefs of Edom (that is, Esau, the father of ^ythe Edomites ), according to their habitations in the land of their possession.
