The Genealogy of Esau’s Sons |
Genesis 36:1-43 The First Book of Moses Called Genesis |
Now [this is] the [genealogy] of Esau, who is Edom. Esau took his wives [from] the daughters of Canaan: Adah, the daughter of Elon, the Hittite; Aholibamah, the daughter of Anah, [who was] the [grand-daughter] of Zibeon, the Hivite & Bashemath, Ishmael’s daughter, sister of Nebajoth. |
And Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau & Basemath bore Reuel. And Aholibamah bore Jeush, Jaalam, and Korah. These were the sons of Esau who were born to him in the land of Canaan. |
[Then] Esau took his wives, his sons & daughters, all the persons of his house, his [livestock] & all his [goods] which he had [gotten] in the land of Canaan & went into the country [away] from the [presence] of his brother, Jacob, [because both] of their [possessions] were more than they [could] dwell together. |
The land where they were strangers couldn’t support them because of their [livestock]. [So,] Esau dwelt in Mount Seir. Esau is Edom & [this] is the generations of [his genealogy] of Esau, the father of the Edomites in Mount Seir. |
These were the names of Esau’s sons: Eliphaz, [the firstborn son of Esau,] the son of Adah, the wife of Esau. Reuel, the son of Bashemath, the wife of Esau. The sons of Eliphaz [whose mother was Adah, Esua’s wife:] Teman, Omar, Zepho [a.k.a. Zephi], Gatam & Kenaz. |
Eliphaz had a [mistress named] Timna & she bore Amalek to Eliphaz, Esau's son. These were the [grandsons] of Adah, Esau’s wife. These [were] the sons of Reul [whose mother was Bashemath, Esau's wife:] Nahath, Zerah, Shammah & Mizzah. These were [the grandsons] of Bashemath [a.k.a. Basemath] Esau’s wife. |
These are the sons of Aholibamah, [a.k.a. Oholibamah,] the daughter of Anah, [who was] the [grand-daughter] of Zibeon, [that] Esau’s wife bore him: Jeush, Jaalam & Korah. [These were the dukes [a.k.a. chief or leader of the families] of the sons of Esau, in the land of Edom. |
[These were] the sons of Eliphaz, the firstborn son of Esau [whose] mother was Adah, [dukes:] Teman, Omar, Zepho & Kenaz, Korah, Gatam, Amalek. These are the dukes [who descended from] Eliphaz in the land of Edom. They were [the grandsons] of Adah, Esau's wife. |
These are sons of Reuel, [whose mother was] Bashemah, Esau’s wife: [dukes:] Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, Mizzah. These are the dukes [who descended from] Reuel in the land of Edom. They were [the grandsons] of Basemath, Esau's wife. |
These are the sons of Aholibamah, the daughter of Ana, Esau’s wife: [dukes:] Jeush, Jaalam & Korah. These are the dukes that [descended from] Aholibamah. These are the sons of Esau, who is Edom & these are their dukes. |
These were the sons of Seir, the Horite who inhabited the land, [dukes:] Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, Dishon, Ezer & Dishan. These are the dukes of the Horites, the [descendants] of Seir in the land of Edom. |
The sons of Lotan were: Hori & Hemam [a.k.a. Homam] & Lotan’s sister was Timna. These were the children of Shobal: Alvan [a.k.a. Allan], Manahath, Ebal, Shepho [a.k.a. Shephi] & Onam. These were the children of Zibeon: both Ajah & Anah. |
This was that Anah who found the mules in the wilderness, as he fed the [donkeys] of his father, Zibeon. [These were] the children of Anah: Dishon & Aholibamah, the daughter of Anah. These were the sons of Dishon: Hemdan [a.k.a. Hamram], Eshban, Ithran & Cheran [a.k.a. Keran.] |
[These are] the children of Ezer: Bilhan, Zaavan & Akan [a.ka. Jaakan]. [Now] the children of Dishan [were:] Uz & Aran. These are the dukes that came from the Horites, [dukes:] Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, Dishon, Ezer, Dishan. These are the dukes that came from Horites among the dukes in the land of Seir. |
Now these were the kings who [ruled] in the land of Edom before any king ruled over the children [people] of Israel: Bela, son of Beor [ruled] in Edom & the name of his city was Dinhabah. [When] Bela died, Jobab, son of Zerah of Bozrah [ruled] in his place. |
[When] Jobab died, Husham of the land of the Temani [ruled] in his place. [When] Husam died, Hadad, son of Bedad, who [attacked] the Midian in the field of Moab & [ruled] in his place & the name of his city was Avith. |

[When] Baal-Hanan died, Hadar [a.k.a. Hadad] [ruled] in his [place] & the name of his city was Pau [a.k.a. Pai]. His wife’s name was Mehetabel [a.k.a Mehetable], the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab. |
And these were the names of the dukes that [descended from] Esau, according to their families & after their places, by their names, [dukes:] Timnah, Alvah [a.k.a. Aliah,] Jetheth, Aholibamah, Elah, Pinon, Kenaz, Teman, Mibzar, Magdiel & Iram. |
These were the dukes of Edom, according to their [dwelling places] in the land of their possession, Esau was the father of the Edomites. |
