JOSEPH’S DREAMS
When Jacob returns to Canaan, he reconciles with his brother Esau. Both men
are very wealthy, with large families and herds of livestock. Eventually Esau
moves away, while Jacob remains in Canaan with his twelve sons, including
Joseph, his favorite. But trouble is brewing. Jacob’s favoritism infects his other
sons with jealousy and hatred. They retaliate and betray Joseph. Yet God has a
plan. He has a big story to write. He is working through Joseph to preserve his
chosen people.
Horite clan leaders, the descendants of Seir,
who lived in the land of Edom.
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.
22
RULERS OF EDOM
These are the kings who ruled in the land
of Edom before any king ruled over the
Israelites*:
31
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
32
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,
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.
JOSEPH’S DREAMS
37
So Jacob settled again in the land of
Canaan, where his father had lived as
a foreigner.

This is the account of Jacob and his fami
ly. When Joseph was seventeen years old, he
often tended his father’s flocks. He worked
for his half brothers, the sons of his father’s
wives Bilhah and Zilpah. But Joseph reported
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.
