Genesis 36
Revised Geneva Translation
36 Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom.
2 Esau took his wives from the daughters of Canaan: Adah, the daughter of Elon (a Hittite) and Aholibamah, the daughter of Anah (the daughter of Zibeon, a Hivite).
3 He also took Basemath, Ishmael’s daughter, sister of Nebajoth.
4 And Adah bore to Esau, Eliphaz; and Basemath bore Reuel.
5 Also, Aholibamah bore Jeush and Jaalam and Korah. These are the sons of Esau who were born to him in the land of Canaan.
6 So Esau took his wives and his sons and his daughters and all the souls of his house, and his flocks and all his cattle and all his substance which he had gotten in the land of Canaan and went into a different country from his brother Jacob.
7 For their riches were so great that they could not dwell together; and the land wherein they were strangers could not receive them because of their flocks.
8 Therefore, Esau dwelt on Mount Seir. This Esau is Edom.
9 So, these are the generations of Esau, father of Edom, on Mount Seir:
10 These are the names of Esau’s sons: Eliphaz, the son of Adah (the wife of Esau), and Reuel, the son of Basemath, (the wife of Esau).
11 And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenaz.
12 And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz, Esau’s son, and bore to Eliphaz, Amalek. These are the sons of Adah, Esau’s wife.
13 And these are the sons of Reuel: Nahath and Zerah, Shammah and Mizzah. These are the sons of Basemath, Esau’s wife.
14 And these were the sons of Aholibamah, the daughter of Anah (daughter of Zibeon, Esau’s wife). For she bore to Esau, Jeush and Jaalam and Korah.
15 These were Chiefs of the sons of Esau, the sons of Eliphaz, the firstborn of Esau: Chief Teman, Chief Omar, Chief Zepho, Chief Kenaz,
16 Chief Korah, Chief Gatam, and Chief Amalek. These are the Chiefs who came from Eliphaz in the land of Edom. These were the sons of Adah.
17 And these are the sons of Reuel, Esau’s son: Chief Nahath, Chief Zerah, Chief Shammah, Chief Mizzah. These are the Chiefs who came from Reuel, in the land of Edom. These are the sons of Basemath, Esau’s wife.
18 Likewise, these were the sons of Aholibamah, Esau’s wife. Chief Jeush, Chief Jaalam, Chief Korah. These Chiefs came from Aholibamah, the daughter of Anah, Esau’s wife.
19 These are the children of Esau; and these are the Chiefs of them. This is Edom.
20 These are the sons of Seir, the Horite, who inhabited the land: Lotan and Shobal and Zibeon and Anah
21 and Dishon and Ezer and Dishan. These are the Chiefs of the Horites, the sons of Seir, in the land of Edom.
22 And the sons of Lotan were Hori and Hemam; and Lotan’s sister was Timna.
23 And the sons of Shobal were these: Alvan and Manahath and Ebal Shepho and Onam.
24 And these are the sons of Zibeon: both Ajah and Anah (this was Anah who found mules in the wilderness as he fed his father Zibeon’s donkeys).
25 And the children of Anah were these: Dishon and Aholibamah, the daughter of Anah.
26 Also, these are the sons of Dishon: Hemdan and Eshban and Ithran and Cheran.
27 The sons of Ezer are these: Bilhan and Zaavan and Akan.
28 The sons of Dishan are these: 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 of the Horites, after their Chiefdoms, in the land of Seir.
31 And these are the Kings who reigned in the land of Edom, before there reigned any King over the children of Israel.
32 Then Bela, the son of Beor, reigned in Edom; and the name of his city was Dinhabah.
33 And when Bela died, Jobab (the son of Zerah, of Bozrah) reigned in his place.
34 When Jobab also died, Husham, of the land of Temani, reigned in his place.
35 And after the death of Husham, Hadad, the son of Bedad (who killed Midian in the field of Moab), reigned in his place; and the name of his city was Avith.
36 When Hadad died, then Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his place.
37 When Samlah died Saul of Rehoboth (by the river), reigned in his place.
38 When Saul died, Baal-Hanan, the son of Achbor, reigned in his place.
39 And after the death of Baal-Hanan, the son of Achbor, Hadar reigned in his place; and the name of his city was Pau. And his wife’s name was Mehetabel (the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab).
40 These, then, are the names of the Chiefs of Esau, according to their families, their places, by their names: Chief Timnah, Chief Alvah, Chief Jetheth.
41 Chief Aholibamah, Chief Elah, Chief Pinon,
42 Chief Kenaz, Chief Teman, Chief Mibzar,
43 Chief Magdiel, Chief Iram. These are the Chiefs of Edom, according to their dwellings, in the land of their inheritance. This Esau is the father of Edom.
