Genesis 36

1 Now this is the family history of Esau, who is Edom. 2 Esau took his wives from the Canaanite women: Adah* the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholivamah* the daughter of Anah, the granddaughter of Tziveon the Hivite, 3 and Ba’semat*, Ishmael’s daughter, who was Nevayot’s sister. 4 And Adah gave birth to Eliphaz for Esau. And Ba’semat gave birth to Re’uel. 5 And Oholivamah gave birth to Ye’ush, Yalam, and Korah. These are Esau's sons, who were born to him in the land of Canaan. 6 And Esau took his wives and his sons and his daughters, and all the people of his household, with his livestock and all his animals, and all his possessions which he had gathered in the land of Canaan, and went into a land away from his brother Jacob. 7 For their property was too much for them to settle together. The land of their travels couldn’t support them because of their livestock. 8 So Esau settled in the hill country of Se’ir. Esau is Edom.

9 This is the family history of Esau the father of the Edomites in the hill country of Se’ir. 10 These are the names of Esau’s sons: Eliphaz the son of Adah, Esau’s wife; Re'uel the son of Ba’semat, Esau's wife. 11 The sons of Eliphaz were Teiman, Omar, Tzefo, and Gatam, and Kenaz. 12 And Timna was a concubine of Eliphaz, Esau’s son; and she gave birth to Amalek for Eliphaz. These are the descendants of Adah, Esau’s wife. 13 These are the sons of Re’uel: Nahat and Zerah, Shammah and Mizzah. These were the descendants of Ba’semat, Esau’s wife. 14 These were the sons of Esau’s wife Oholivamah, the daughter of Anah, the granddaughter of Tziveon: she gave birth to Ye’ush and Yalam and Korah for Esau.

15 These are the chiefs of the sons of Esau. The sons of Eliphaz the firstborn of Esau were chief Teiman, chief Omar, chief Tzefo, chief Kenaz, 16 chief Korah, chief Gatam, chief Amalek. These are the chiefs who came of Eliphaz in the land of Edom. These are the sons of Adah. 17 These are the sons of Re’uel, Esau’s son: chief Nahat, chief Zerah, chief Shammah, chief Mizzah. These are the chiefs who came from Re'uel in the land of Edom. These are the sons of Ba’semat, Esau’s wife. 18 These are the sons of Oholivamah, Esau’s wife: chief Ye’ush, chief Yalam, chief Korah. These are the chiefs who came from Oholivamah the daughter of Anah, Esau’s wife. 19 These are the sons of Esau, who is Edom, and these are their chiefs.

20 These are the sons of Se’ir the Horite, the inhabitants of the land: Lotan, and Shoval, and Tziveon, and Anah, 21 and Dishon, and Etzer, and Dishan. These are the chiefs who came from the Horites, the children of Se’ir in the land of Edom. 22 And Lotan’s children were Hori and Heman, and Lotan’s sister was Timna. 23 These are Shoval’s children: Alvan and Manahat and Eval, Shefo and Onam. 24 These are Tziveon’s children: Ayyah and Anah. This is Anah who found the hot springs in the backcountry, as he fed the donkeys of Tziveon his father. 25 These are Anah’s children: Dishon and Oholivamah, Anah's daughter. 26 These are Dishon’s children: Hemdan, and Eshban, and Yitran, and Keran. 27 These are Etzer’s children: Bilhan, and Za'avan, and Akan. 28 These are Dishan’s children: Utz and Aran. 29 These are the chiefs who came from the Horites: chief Lotan, chief Shobal, chief Tziveon, chief Anah, 30 chief Dishon, chief Etzer, and chief Dishan. These are the chiefs who came from the Horites, according to their chiefs in the land of Se’ir.

31 Now these are the kings who reigned in the land of Edom, before any king reigned over the children of Israel. 32 Bela, the son of Beor, reigned in Edom. The name of his city was Dinhavah. 33 Then Bela died, and Yovav, the son of Zerah of Botzrah, reigned in his place. 34 Then Yovav died, and Husham of the land of the Teimanites reigned in his place. 35 Then Husham died, and Hadad, the son of Bedad, who struck Midian in the countryside of Moab, reigned in his place. The name of his city was Avit. 36 Then Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his place. 37 Then Samlah died, and Sha’ul of Rehovot-by-the-River, reigned in his place. 38 Then Sha’ul died, and Ba'al Hanan the son of Achbor reigned in his place. 39 Then Ba’al Hanan the son of Achbor died, and Hadar reigned in his place. The name of his city was Pa'u. And his wife’s name was Mehetavel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mei-Zahav.

40 Now these are the names of the chiefs who came from Esau, according to their families, after their places, and by their names: chief Timna, chief Alvah, chief Yetet, 41 chief Oholivamah, chief Elah, chief Pinon, 42 chief Kenaz, chief Teiman, chief Mivtzar, 43 chief Magdiel, and chief Iram. These are the chiefs of Edom, according to their settlements in the land of their possession. This is Esau, the father of the Edomites.
