Genesis 36:1-43
Descendants of
Esau
-
36:1
Now these are the records of the generations of
Esau (that is, Edom).
-
- 2 Esau took his wives
from the daughters of Canaan: Adah the daughter
of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah the daughter
of Anah and the granddaughter of Zibeon the
Hivite;
-
- 3 also Basemath,
Ishmael's daughter, the sister of Nebaioth.
-
- 4 Adah bore Eliphaz 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 Then Esau took his
wives and his sons and his daughters and all his
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 For their property
had become too great for them to live together,
and the land where they sojourned could not
sustain them because of their livestock.
-
- 8 So Esau lived in
the hill country of Seir; Esau is Edom.
-
- Descendants of
Esau
-
- 9 These then are the
records of the generations of Esau the father of
the 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, Zepho and Gatam and Kenaz.
-
- 12 Timna was a
concubine of Esau's son Eliphaz and she bore
Amalek 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 granddaughter of Zibeon: she 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
descended 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 descended 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
descended 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 the Horite, the inhabitants of the land:
Lotan and Shobal and Zibeon and Anah,
-
- 21 and Dishon and Ezer
and Dishan. These are the chiefs descended from
the Horites, the sons of Seir in the land of
Edom.
-
- 22 The sons of Lotan
were Hori and Hemam; and Lotan's sister was
Timna.
-
- 23 These are the sons
of Shobal: Alvan and Manahath and Ebal, Shepho
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 Dishon: Hemdan and Eshban and Ithran and
Cheran.
-
- 27 These are the sons
of Ezer: Bilhan and Zaavan and Akan.
-
- 28 These are the sons
of Dishan: Uz and Aran.
-
- 29 These are the
chiefs descended from the Horites: chief Lotan,
chief Shobal, chief Zibeon, chief Anah,
-
- 30 chief Dishon, chief
Ezer, chief Dishan. These are the chiefs
descended 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
king reigned over the sons of Israel.
-
- 32 Bela 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 defeated 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 Hadar became king in his
place; and the name of his city was Pau; and his
wife's name was Mehetabel, the daughter of
Matred, daughter of Mezahab.
-
- 40 Now these are the
names of the chiefs descended from Esau,
according to their families and their
localities, by their names: chief Timna, chief
Alvah, 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 the Edomites), according
to their habitations in the land of their
possession.
-
This
is the Word of the Lord ... It is meant to
change the way that we think, and the way that
we live.
