Genesis 36

1This is the account of the family of Esau, that is, Edom. 2Esau married women of Canaan: Adah daughter of Elon the Hittite, Oholibamah daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite, 3and Basemath daughter of Ishmael, Nebaioth’s sister. 4Adah bore Esau a son, Eliphaz, and Basemath bore Reuel. 5Oholibamah bore Jeush, Jalam and Korah. These were Esau’s sons, born to him in the land of Canaan. 6Esau took his wives, his sons and daughters, everyone in his household, his herds and all his animals, and all the goods he had gained in Canaan, and went away to another land, apart from his brother Jacob. 7They had too much wealth to live side by side; the land where they were living as foreigners could not feed all their herds. 8So Esau settled in the hill country of Seir. Esau is Edom. 9This is the account of the family of Esau, ancestor of the Edomites, in the hill country of Seir. 10These are the names of Esau’s sons: Eliphaz, son of Esau’s wife Adah, and Reuel, son of Esau’s wife Basemath. 11The sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam and Kenaz. 12Timna, a concubine of Esau’s son Eliphaz, bore him Amalek. These were the descendants of Esau’s wife Adah. 13The sons of Reuel were Nahath, Zerah, Shammah and Mizzah. These were the descendants of Esau’s wife Basemath. 14The sons of Esau’s wife Oholibamah, daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon, were Jeush, Jalam and Korah, whom she bore to Esau. 15These were the clan chiefs among Esau’s descendants. From the sons of Eliphaz, Esau’s firstborn, came the chiefs Teman, Omar, Zepho, Kenaz, 16Korah, Gatam and Amalek. These were the chiefs descended from Eliphaz in the land of Edom, the descendants of Adah. 17From the sons of Reuel, Esau’s son, came the chiefs Nahath, Zerah, Shammah and Mizzah. These were the chiefs descended from Reuel in the land of Edom, the descendants of Esau’s wife Basemath. 18From the sons of Esau’s wife Oholibamah came the chiefs Jeush, Jalam and Korah. These were the chiefs descended from Esau’s wife Oholibamah, Anah’s daughter. 19These are the sons of Esau, that is, Edom, and these are their chiefs.

20These were the sons of Seir the Horite, the people who already lived in the land: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, 21Dishon, Ezer and Dishan. These were the Horite chiefs, the sons of Seir in the land of Edom. 22The sons of Lotan were Hori and Hemam, and Lotan’s sister was Timna. 23The sons of Shobal were Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho and Onam. 24The sons of Zibeon were Aiah and Anah. This was the Anah who discovered the hot springs in the wilderness while he was grazing his father Zibeon’s donkeys. 25The children of Anah were Dishon and Oholibamah, Anah’s daughter. 26The sons of Dishon were Hemdan, Eshban, Ithran and Cheran. 27The sons of Ezer were Bilhan, Zaavan and Akan. 28The sons of Dishan were Uz and Aran. 29These were the Horite chiefs: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, 30Dishon, Ezer and Dishan. These were the Horite chiefs, clan by clan, in the land of Seir.

31These are the kings who ruled in Edom before any king ruled over the people of Israel: 32Bela son of Beor was king in Edom; his city was named Dinhabah. 33When Bela died, Jobab son of Zerah, from Bozrah, became king in his place. 34When Jobab died, Husham from the land of the Temanites became king in his place. 35When Husham died, Hadad son of Bedad, who beat the Midianites in battle in the land of Moab, became king in his place. His city was named Avith. 36When Hadad died, Samlah from Masrekah became king in his place. 37When Samlah died, Shaul from Rehoboth on the River became king in his place. 38When Shaul died, Baal-hanan son of Achbor became king in his place. 39When Baal-hanan son of Achbor died, Hadar became king in his place. His city was named Pau, and his wife was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred and granddaughter of Mezahab. 40These are the names of the chiefs descended from Esau, listed by clan and region, each by name: Timna, Alvah, Jetheth, 41Oholibamah, Elah, Pinon, 42Kenaz, Teman, Mibzar, 43Magdiel and Iram. These were the chiefs of Edom, by their settlements in the land they held. This was Esau, ancestor of the Edomites.
