Genesis 36
1 Now this is the history of the generations of Esav (the same is Edom). 2 Esav took his wives from the daughters of Kana`an: `Adah the daughter of Elon, the Hittite; and Oholivamah the daughter of `Anah, the daughter of Tziv`on, the Hivvi; 3 and Basemat, Yishma'el's daughter, sister of Nevayot. 4 `Adah bore to Esav Elifaz. Basemat bore Re`u'el. 5 Oholivamah bore Ye`ush, Ya`lam, and Korach. These are the sons of Esav, who were born to him in the land of Kana`an. 6 Esav took his wives, his sons, his daughters, and all the members of his household, with his cattle, all his animals, and all his possessions, which he had gathered in the land of Kana`an, and went into a land away from his brother Ya`akov. 7 For their substance was too great for them to dwell together, and the land of their travels couldn't bear them because of their cattle. 8 Esav lived in the hill country of Se`ir. Esav is Edom.
9 This is the history of the generations of Esav the father of the Edom in the hill country of Se`ir: 10 these are the names of Esav's sons: Elifaz, the son of `Adah, the wife of Esav; and Re`u'el, the son of Basemat, the wife of Esav. 11 The sons of Elifaz were Teman, Omar, Tzefo, and Ga`tam, and Kenaz. 12 Timna was concubine to Elifaz, Esav's son; and she bore to Elifaz `Amalek. These are the sons of `Adah, Esav's wife. 13 These are the sons of Re`u'el: Nachat, Zerach, Shammah, and Mizzah. These were the sons of Basemat, Esav's wife. 14 These were the sons of Oholivamah, the daughter of `Anah, the daughter of Tziv`on, Esav's wife: she bore to Esav Ye`ush, Ya`lam, and Korach. 15 These are the chiefs of the sons of Esav: the sons of Elifaz the firstborn of Esav: chief Teman, chief Omar, chief Tzefo, chief Kenaz, 16 chief Korach, chief Ga`tam, chief `Amalek: these are the chiefs who came of Elifaz in the land of Edom; these are the sons of `Adah. 17 These are the sons of Re`u'el, Esav's son: chief Nachat, chief Zerach, chief Shammah, chief Mizzah: these are the chiefs who came of Re`u'el in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Basemat, Esav's wife. 18 These are the sons of Oholivamah, Esav's wife: chief Ye`ush, chief Ya`lam, chief Korach: these are the chiefs who came of Oholivamah the daughter of `Anah, Esav's wife. 19 These are the sons of Esav, and these are their chiefs. The same is Edom.
20 These are the sons of Se`ir the Horite, the inhabitants of the land: Lotan, Shoval, Tziv`on, `Anah, 21 Dishon, Etzer, and Dishan. These are the chiefs who came of the Hori, the children of Se`ir in the land of Edom. 22 The children of Lotan were Hori and Heman. Lotan's sister was Timna. 23 These are the children of Shoval: Alvan, Manachat, `Eval, Shefo, and Onam. 24 These are the children of Tziv`on: Ayah and `Anah. This is `Anah who found the hot springs in the wilderness, as he fed the donkeys of Tziv`on his father. 25 These are the children of `Anah: Dishon and Oholivamah, the daughter of `Anah. 26 These are the children of Dishon: Hemdan, Eshban, Yitran, and Keran. 27 These are the children of Etzer: Bilhan, Za`avan, and `Akan. 28 These are the children of Dishan: `Utz and Aran. 29 These are the chiefs who came of the Hori: chief Lotan, chief Shoval, chief Tziv`on, chief `Anah, 30 chief Dishon, chief Etzer, and chief Dishan: these are the chiefs who came of the Hori, according to their chiefs in the land of Se`ir.
31 These are the kings who reigned in the land of Edom, before any king reigned over the children of Yisra'el. 32 Bela, the son of Be'or, reigned in Edom. The name of his city was Dinhava. 33 Bela died, and Yovav, the son of Zerach of Botzrah, reigned in his place. 34 Yovav died, and Husham of the land of the Temani reigned in his place. 35 Husham died, and Hadad, the son of Bedad, who struck Midyan in the field of Mo'av, reigned in his place. The name of his city was `Avit. 36 Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his place. 37 Samlah died, and Sha'ul of Rechovot by the river, reigned in his place. 38 Sha'ul died, and Ba`al-Hanan, the son of `Akhbor reigned in his place. 39 Ba`al-Hanan the son of `Akhbor died, and Hadar reigned in his place. The name of his city was Pau. His wife's name was Mehetav'el, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Me-Zahav. 40 These are the names of the chiefs who came from Esav, 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 Teman, chief Mivtzar, 43 chief Magdi'el, and chief `Iram. These are the chiefs of Edom, according to their habitations in the land of their possession. This is Esav, the father of the Edom.
