Descendants of Esau
This is the account of the descendants of Esau (also known as Edom).
2 Esau married two young women from Canaan: Adah, the daughter of Elon the Hittite; and Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah and grand
daughter of Zibeon the Hivite. 3 He also married his cousin Basemath, who
was the daughter of Ishmael and the sister of Nebaioth. 4 Adah gave birth to
a son named Eliphaz for Esau. Basemath gave birth to a son named Reuel.
5 Oholibamah gave birth to sons named Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. All these
sons were born to Esau in the land of Canaan.
6 Esau took his wives, his children, and his entire household, along with
his livestock and cattle—all the wealth he had acquired in the land of Ca
naan—and moved away from his brother, Jacob. 7 There was not enough
land to support them both because of all the livestock and possessions they
had acquired. 8 So Esau (also known as Edom) settled in the hill country
of Seir.
9 This is the account of Esau’s descendants, the Edomites, who lived in
the hill country of Seir.

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 The descendants of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, and
Kenaz. 12 Timna, the concubine of Esau’s son Eliphaz, gave birth to a son
named Amalek. These are the descendants of Esau’s wife Adah.
13 The descendants of Reuel were Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah.
These are the descendants of Esau’s wife Basemath.
14 Esau also had sons through Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah and
granddaughter of Zibeon. Their names were Jeush, Jalam, and Korah.
10
These are the descendants of Esau who became the leaders of various
clans:
15
The descendants of Esau’s oldest son, Eliphaz, became the leaders of the
clans of Teman, Omar, Zepho, Kenaz, 16 Korah, Gatam, and Amalek.
These are the clan leaders in the land of Edom who descended from
Eliphaz. All these were descendants of Esau’s wife Adah.
17 The descendants of Esau’s son Reuel became the leaders of the clans of
Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. These are the clan leaders in the
land of Edom who descended from Reuel. All these were descendants of
Esau’s wife Basemath.
18 The descendants of Esau and his wife Oholibamah became the leaders
of the clans of Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. These are the clan leaders who
descended from Esau’s wife Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah.
19 These are the clans descended from Esau (also known as Edom), identified
by their clan leaders.
Original Peoples of Edom
20 These are the names of the tribes that descended from Seir the Horite. They
lived in the land of Edom: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, 21 Dishon, Ezer, and
Dishan. These were the Horite clan leaders, the descendants of Seir, who
lived in the land of Edom.
