Genesis 36:1-43 — Esau's Descendants

Gen.36.1-43

¹These are the generations of Esau (that is, Edom). ²Esau took his wives from the daughters of Canaan: Adah daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah daughter of Anah, daughter of Zibeon the Hivite, ³and Basemath daughter of Ishmael, sister of Nebaioth. ⁴Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau, and Basemath bore Reuel. ⁵And Oholibamah bore Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. These are the sons of Esau who were born to him in the land of Canaan. ⁶Then Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters, all the members of his household, his livestock, all his animals, and all the property he had acquired in the land of Canaan, and went to another land away from his brother Jacob. ⁷For their possessions were too great for them to dwell together, and the land of their sojournings could not support them because of their livestock. ⁸So Esau settled in the hill country of Seir. Esau is Edom. ⁹These are the generations of Esau, father of Edom, in the hill country of Seir. ¹⁰These are the names of Esau's sons: Eliphaz, son of Adah the wife of Esau, and Reuel, son of Basemath the wife of Esau. ¹¹The sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz. ¹²Timna was a concubine of Eliphaz, Esau's son, and she bore Amalek to Eliphaz. These are the sons of Adah, Esau's wife. ¹³These are the sons of Reuel: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. These were the sons of Basemath, Esau's wife. ¹⁴These were the sons of Oholibamah daughter of Anah, daughter of Zibeon, Esau's wife: she bore Jeush, Jalam, and Korah to Esau. ¹⁵These are the chiefs of the sons of Esau.

He is Edom. ²⁰These are the sons of Seir the Horite, the inhabitants of the land: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, and Anah, ²¹Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan.
