January 17
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.
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.
22 The
descendants of Lotan were
Hori and Hemam. Lotan’s sister
was named Timna.
23 The descendants of Shobal were
Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho,
and Onam.
24 The descendants of Zibeon were
Aiah and Anah. (This is the Anah
who discovered the hot springs
in the wilderness while he was
grazing his father’s donkeys.)
25 The descendants of Anah were his
son, Dishon, and his daughter,
Oholibamah.
26 The descendants of Dishon* were
Hemdan, Eshban, Ithran, and
Keran.
27 The descendants of Ezer were
Bilhan, Zaavan, and Akan.
28 The descendants of Dishan were Uz
and Aran.
29 So these were the leaders of the
Horite clans: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon,
Anah, 30 Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan.
The Horite clans are named after their
64
clan leaders, who lived in the land of
Seir.
31 These are the kings who ruled
in the land of Edom before any king
ruled over the Israelites*:
32 Bela
son of Beor, who ruled in
Edom from his city of Dinhabah.
33 When Bela died, Jobab son of Zerah
from Bozrah became king in his
place.
34 When Jobab died, Husham from the
land of the Temanites became king
in his place.
35 When Husham died, Hadad son of
Bedad became king in his place
and ruled from the city of Avith.
He was the one who defeated the
Midianites in the land of Moab.
36 When Hadad died, Samlah from
the city of Masrekah became king
in his place.
37 When Samlah died, Shaul from
the city of Rehoboth-on-the-River
became king in his place.
38 When Shaul died, Baal-hanan son
of Acbor became king in his place.
39 When Baal-hanan son of Acbor
died, Hadad* became king in his
place and ruled from the city of
Pau. His wife was Mehetabel,
the daughter of Matred and
granddaughter of Me-zahab.
40 These are the names of the leaders of the clans descended from Esau,
who lived in the places named for
them: Timna, Alvah, Jetheth, 41 Oholi
bamah, Elah, Pinon, 42 Kenaz, Teman,
Mibzar, 43 Magdiel, and Iram. These
are the leaders of the clans of Edom,
listed according to their settlements
in the land they occupied. They all
descended from Esau, the ancestor of
the Edomites.
35:10 Jacob sounds like the Hebrew words for
“heel” and “deceiver.” Israel means “God fights.”
35:21 Hebrew Israel; also in 35:22a. The names
“Jacob” and “Israel” are often interchanged
throughout the Old Testament, referring sometimes
to the individual patriarch and sometimes to the
nation.
36:26 Hebrew Dishan, a variant spelling
of Dishon; compare 36:21, 28. 36:31 Or before an
Israelite king ruled over them.
36:39 As in some
Hebrew manuscripts, Samaritan Pentateuch, and
Syriac version (see also 1 Chr 1:50); most Hebrew
manuscripts read Hadar.
