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 Canaan—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.
10 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.
15 These
are the descendants of Esau who became the leaders of various clans:
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.
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.
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.
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 clan leaders, who lived in the land of Seir.
Rulers of Edom
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 Oholibamah, Elah, Pinon, 42 Kenaz, Teman,
