Genesis 36

1This is the account of Esau (that is, Edom).

2Esau took his wives from the women of Canaan: Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah the daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite,

3and Basemath the daughter of Ishmael and sister of Nebaioth.

4Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau, and Basemath bore Reuel.

5Oholibamah bore Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. These were the sons of Esau who were born to him in the land of Canaan.

6Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters, and all the people of his household, along with his livestock, all his animals, and all the property he had acquired in the land of Canaan, and he went to a land away from his brother Jacob.

7For their possessions were too great for them to live together; the land where they were staying could not support them because of their livestock.

8So Esau settled in the hill country of Seir. Esau is Edom.

9This is the account of Esau, the father of the Edomites, in the hill country of Seir.

10These are the names of Esau’s sons: Eliphaz, the son of Esau’s wife Adah, and Reuel, the son of Esau’s wife Basemath.

11The sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz.

12Timna was a concubine of Esau’s son Eliphaz, and she bore Amalek to Eliphaz. These were the descendants of Esau’s wife Adah.

13These were the sons of Reuel: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. These were the descendants of Esau’s wife Basemath.

14These were the sons of Esau’s wife Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon: she bore Jeush, Jalam, and Korah to Esau.

15These were the chiefs among Esau’s descendants. The sons of Eliphaz, Esau’s firstborn: Chief Teman, Chief Omar, Chief Zepho, Chief Kenaz,

16Chief Korah, Chief Gatam, and Chief Amalek. These were the chiefs descended from Eliphaz in the land of Edom; they were the descendants of Adah.

17These were the sons of Esau’s son Reuel: Chief Nahath, Chief Zerah, Chief Shammah, and Chief Mizzah. These were the chiefs descended from Reuel in the land of Edom; they were the descendants of Esau’s wife Basemath.

18These were the sons of Esau’s wife Oholibamah: Chief Jeush, Chief Jalam, and Chief Korah. These were the chiefs descended from Esau’s wife Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah.

19These were the sons of Esau (that is, Edom), and these were their chiefs.

20These were the sons of Seir the Horite, who were living in the land: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah,

21Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan. These were the chiefs of the Horites, the sons of Seir, in the land of Edom.

22The sons of Lotan were Hori and Hemam, and Lotan’s sister was Timna.

23These were the sons of Shobal: Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho, and Onam.

24These were the sons of Zibeon: Aiah and Anah. This is the Anah who found the hot springs in the wilderness while he was pasturing the donkeys of his father Zibeon.

25These were the children of Anah: Dishon and Oholibamah the daughter of Anah.

26These were the sons of Dishon: Hemdan, Eshban, Ithran, and Cheran.

27These were the sons of Ezer: Bilhan, Zaavan, and Akan.

28These were the sons of Dishan: Uz and Aran.

29These were the chiefs of the Horites: Chief Lotan, Chief Shobal, Chief Zibeon, Chief Anah,

30Chief Dishon, Chief Ezer, and Chief Dishan. These were the chiefs of the Horites, clan by clan, in the land of Seir.

31These are the kings who reigned in the land of Edom before any king reigned over the Israelites.

32Bela son of Beor reigned in Edom, and the name of his city was Dinhabah.

33When Bela died, Jobab son of Zerah from Bozrah reigned in his place.

34When Jobab died, Husham from the land of the Temanites reigned in his place.

35When Husham died, Hadad son of Bedad, who defeated Midian in the country of Moab, reigned in his place. The name of his city was Avith.

36When Hadad died, Samlah from Masrekah reigned in his place.

37When Samlah died, Shaul from Rehoboth on the River reigned in his place.

38When Shaul died, Baal-hanan son of Achbor reigned in his place.

39When Baal-hanan son of Achbor died, Hadar reigned in his place. The name of his city was Pau, and his wife’s name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Me-zahab.

40These are the names of the chiefs descended from Esau, by their clans and their places, name by name: Chief Timna, Chief Alvah, Chief Jetheth,

41Chief Oholibamah, Chief Elah, Chief Pinon,

42Chief Kenaz, Chief Teman, Chief Mibzar,

43Chief Magdiel, and Chief Iram. These were the chiefs of Edom, according to their settlements in the land they possessed. This is Esau, the father of the Edomites.
