Genesis 36

Esau’s Descendants

1 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 the Hittite; and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite;

(3) and Bashemath, Ishmael’s daughter, sister of Nebajoth.

(4) Adah bore to Esau Eliphaz, and Bashemath bore Reuel.

(5) And Aholibamah bore Jeush, Jaalam, and Korah. These are the sons of Esau, who were born to him in the land of Canaan.

(6) Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters, and all the people in his household, his cattle, all his animals, and all his substance, which he had gathered in the land of Canaan, and went to a country away from his brother Jacob.

(7) For they could not dwell together because the land where they were could not bear them both because of their livestock.

(8) So Esau dwelt in mount Seir. Esau is Edom.

(9) And these are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in mount Seir.

(10) 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.

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

(12) Timna was a concubine of Eliphaz, Esau’s son, and she gave birth to Amalek to Eliphaz. These are the sons of Adah, Esau’s wife.

(13) These are the sons of Reuel: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. These are the sons of Bashemath, Esau’s wife.

(14) And these are the sons of Aholibamah, the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon, Esau’s wife. She bore to Esau Jeush, Jaalam, and Korah.

Dukes of Edom

(15) These are dukes of the sons of Esau, the sons of Eliphaz the firstborn son of Esau: duke Teman, duke Omar, duke Zepho, duke Kenaz,

(16) duke Korah, duke Gatam, and duke Amalek. These are the dukes of Eliphaz in the land of Edom. These were the sons of Adah.

(18) And these are the sons of Aholibamah Esau’s wife: duke Jeush, duke Jaalam, duke Korah. These are the dukes of Aholibamah the daughter of Anah, Esau’s wife.

19 These are the sons of Esau, who is Edom, and these are their dukes.

(20) These are the sons of Seir the Horite, who inhabited the land: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah,

(21) Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan. These are the dukes of the Horites, the children of Seir in the land of Edom.

Kings of Edom

(31) These are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before there reigned any king over the children of Israel:

(32) And Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom: and the name of his city was Dinhabah.

(33) When Bela died, Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his place.

(34) When Jobab died, Husham from the land of Temani reigned in his place.

(35) When Husham died, Hadad the son of Bedad, who attacked Midian in the field of Moab, reigned in his place, and the name of his city was Avith.

(36) And Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his stead.

(37) When Samlah died, Saul of Rehoboth by the river reigned in his place.

(38) When Saul died, Baalhanan the son of Achbor reigned in his place.

(39) When Baalhanan the son of Achbor died, Hadar reigned in his place. The name of his city is Pau, and his wife’s name is Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab.

(40) And these are the names of the dukes of Esau, according to their families, after their places, by their names: duke Timnah, duke Alvah, duke Jetheth,

(41) duke Aholibamah, duke Elah, duke Pinon,

(42) duke Kenaz, duke Teman, duke Mibzar,

(43) duke Magdiel, and duke Iram. These are the dukes of Edom, according to their habitations in the land of their possession. He is Esau the father of the Edomites.
