Genesis Chapter: 36

1: This is the family tree of Esau, who is also called Edom.

2: Esau married women of Canaan: Adah, daughter of Elon the Hittite; Oholibamah, daughter of Anah and the granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite;

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

4: Adah gave Esau Eliphaz; Basemath had Reuel;

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

6: Esau gathered up his wives, sons and daughters, and everybody in his household, along with all his livestock--all the animals and possessions he had gotten in Canaan--and moved a considerable distance away from his brother Jacob.

7: The brothers had too many possessions to live together in the same place; the land couldn't support their combined herds of livestock.

8: So Esau ended up settling in the hill country of Seir (Esau and Edom are the same).

9: So this is the family tree of Esau, ancestor of the people of Edom, in the hill country of Seir.

10: The names of Esau's sons: Eliphaz, son of Esau's wife Adah; Reuel, son of Esau's wife Basemath.

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

12: (Eliphaz also had a concubine Timna, who had Amalek.) These are the grandsons of Esau's wife Adah.

13: And these are the sons of Reuel: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah--grandsons of Esau's wife Basemath.

14: These are the sons of Esau's wife Oholibamah, daughter of Anah the son of Zibeon. She gave Esau his sons Jeush, Jalam, and Korah.

15: These are the chieftains in Esau's family tree. From the sons of Eliphaz, Esau's firstborn, came the chieftains Teman, Omar, Zepho, Kenaz,

16: Korah, Gatam, and Amalek--the chieftains of Eliphaz in the land of Edom; all of them sons of Adah.

17: From the sons of Esau's son Reuel, came the chieftains Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. These are the chieftains of Reuel in the land of Edom; all these were sons of Esau's wife Basemath.

18: These are the sons of Esau's wife Oholibamah: the chieftains Jeush, Jalam, and Korah--chieftains born of Esau's wife Oholibamah, daughter of Anah.

19: These are the sons of Esau, that is, Edom, and these are their chieftains.

20: This is the family tree of Seir the Horite, who were native to that land: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah,

21: Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan. These are the chieftains of the Horites, the sons of Seir in the land of Edom.

22: The sons of Lotan were Hori and Homam; Lotan's sister was Timna.

23: The sons of Shobal were Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho, and Onam.

24: The sons of Zibeon were Aiah and Anah--this is the same Anah who found the hot springs in the wilderness while herding his father Zibeon's donkeys.

25: The children of Anah were Dishon and his daughter Oholibamah.

26: The sons of Dishon were Hemdan, Eshban, Ithran, and Keran.

27: The sons of Ezer: Bilhan, Zaavan, and Akan.

28: The sons of Dishan: Uz and Aran.

29: And these were the Horite chieftains: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah,

30: Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan--the Horite chieftains clan by clan in the land of Seir.

31: And these are the kings who ruled in Edom before there was a king in Israel:

32: Bela son of Beor was the king of Edom; the name of his city was Dinhabah.

33: When Bela died, Jobab son of Zerah from Bozrah became the next king.

34: When Jobab died, he was followed by Hushan from the land of the Temanites.

35: When Hushan died, he was followed by Hadad son of Bedad; he was the king who defeated the Midianites in Moab; the name of his city was Avith.

36: When Hadad died, Samlah of Masrekah became the next king.

37: When Samlah died, Shaul from Rehoboth-on-the-River became king.

38: When Shaul died, he was followed by Baal-Hanan son of Acbor.

39: When Baal-Hanan son of Acbor died, Hadad became king; the name of his city was Pau; his wife's name was Mehetabel daughter of Matred, daughter of Me-Zahab.

40: And these are the chieftains from the line of Esau, clan by clan, region by region: Timna, Alvah, Jetheth,

41: Oholibamah, Elah, Pinon,

42: Kenaz, Teman, Mibzar,

43: Magdiel, and Iram--the chieftains of Edom as they occupied their various regions. This accounts for the family tree of Esau, ancestor of all Edomites.
