Chapter 36

Now these [are] the generations of Esau, who [is] Edom.

Esau took¹ his wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite;

And Bashemath Ishmael's daughter, sister of Nebajoth.

And Adah bare⁴ to Esau Eliphaz; and Bashemath bare¹ Reuel;

And Aholibamah bare¹ Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah: these [are] the sons of Esau, which were born²⁷ unto him in the land of Canaan.

And Esau took⁴ his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the persons of his house, and his cattle, and all his beasts, and all his substance, which he had got¹ in the land of Canaan; and went⁴ into the country from the face of his brother Jacob.

For their riches were more than that they might dwell² together; and the land wherein they were strangers could¹ not bear² them because of their cattle.

Thus dwelt⁴ Esau in mount Seir: Esau [is] Edom.

And these [are] the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in mount Seir:

These [are] the names of Esau's sons; Eliphaz the son of Adah the wife of Esau, Reuel the son of Bashemath the wife of Esau.

And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenaz.

And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz Esau's son; and she bare⁴ to Eliphaz Amalek: these [were] the sons of Adah Esau's wife.

And these [are] the sons of Reuel; Nahath, and Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah: these were the sons of Bashemath Esau's wife.

And these were the sons of Aholibamah, the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon, Esau's wife: and she bare⁴ to Esau Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah.

These [were] dukes of the sons of Esau: the sons of Eliphaz the firstborn [son] of Esau; duke Teman, duke Omar, duke Zepho, duke Kenaz,

Duke Korah, duke Gatam, [and] duke Amalek: these [are] the dukes [that came] of Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these [were] the sons of Adah.

And Dishon, and Ezer, and Dishan: these [are] the dukes of the Horites, ²⁷⁵³ the children of Seir in the land of Edom.

Duke Dishon, duke Ezer, duke Dishan: these [are] the dukes [that came] of Hori, among their dukes in the land of Seir.

And these [are] the kings that reigned¹ in the land of Edom, before there reigned² any king over the children of Israel.

And Bela the son of Beor reigned⁴ in Edom: and the name of his city [was] Dinhabah.

And Bela died,⁴ and Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned⁴ in his stead.

And Jobab died,⁴ and Husham of the land of Temani reigned⁴ in his stead.
