The Generations of Esau

36 Now these are the generations of ^(A)Esau (that is, Edom).

² Esau ^(B)took his wives from the daughters of Canaan: Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and ^(C)Oholibamah the daughter of Anah and the ^(D)granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite; ³ also Basemath, Ishmael’s daughter, the sister of Nebaioth. ⁴ And Adah bore ^(E)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 (F)Then Esau took his wives and his sons and his daughters and all ^[a]his household, and his livestock and all his cattle and all his acquired goods, which he had accumulated in the land of Canaan, and he went to a land away from his brother Jacob. ^7 (G)For their possessions had become too great for them to ^[b]live together, and the ^(H)land where they ^(I)sojourned could not sustain them because of their livestock. ⁸ So Esau lived in the hill country of ^(J)Seir; Esau is ^(K)Edom.

⁹ These then are the generations of Esau the father of ^[c]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, ^[d]Zepho and Gatam and Kenaz. ¹² Timna was a concubine of Esau’s son Eliphaz, and she bore ^(L)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 ^[e]granddaughter of Zibeon: ^[f]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 ^[g]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 ^[h]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 ^[i]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 ^(M)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 ^[j]descended from the Horites, the sons of Seir in the land of Edom. ²² The sons of Lotan were Hori and ^[k]Hemam; and Lotan’s sister was Timna. ²³ These are the sons of Shobal: ^[l]Alvan and Manahath and Ebal, ^[m]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 ^[n](N)Dishon: ^[o]Hemdan and Eshban and Ithran and Cheran. ²⁷ These are the sons of Ezer: Bilhan and Zaavan and ^[p]Akan. ²⁸ These are the sons of Dishan: Uz and Aran. ²⁹ These are the chiefs of the Horites: chief Lotan, chief Shobal, chief Zibeon, chief Anah, ³⁰ chief Dishon, chief Ezer, chief Dishan. These are the chiefs ^[q]descended from the Horites, according to their various chiefs in the land of Seir.
