Genesis 36

1Then he breathed his last and died at a ripe old age, joining his ancestors in death. And his sons, Esau and Jacob, buried him.

Descendants of Esau

33 This is the account of the descendants of Esau (also known as Edom). #Esau married two young women from Canaan: Adah, the daughter of Elon the Hittite; and Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite. $He also married his cousin Basemath, who was the daughter of Ishmael and the sister of Nebaioth. 4Adah gave birth toa son named Eliphaz for Esau. Basemath gave birth to a son named Reuel. SOholibamah gave birth to sons named Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. All these sons were born to Esau in the land of Canaan. 6Esau took his wives, his children, and his entire household, along with his livestock and cattle—all the wealth he had acquired in the land of Canaan—and moved away from his brother, Jacob. 7There was not enough land to support them both because of all the livestock and possessions they had acquired. 8So Esau (also known as Edom) settled in the hill country of Seir. 8This is the account of Esau’s descendants, the Edomites, who lived in the hill country of Seir. 10These are the names of Esau’s sons: Eliphaz, the son of Esau’s wife Adah; and Reuel, the son of Esau’s wife Basemath. 11The descendants of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz. 12Timna, the concubine of Esau’s son Eliphaz, gave birth to a son named Amalek. These are the descendants of Esau’s wife Adah. 13The descendants of Reuel were Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. These are the descendants of Esau’s wife Basemath. 14Esau also had sons through Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon. Their names were Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. The descendants of Esau’s oldest son, Eliphaz, became the leaders of the clans of Teman, Omar, Zepho, Kenaz, 16Korah, Gatam, and Amalek. These are the clan leaders in the land of Edom who descended from Eliphaz. All these were descendants of Esau’s wife Adah. 17The descendants of Esau’s son Reuel became the leaders of the clans of Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. These are the clan leaders in the land of Edom who descended from Reuel. All these were descendants of Esau’s wife Basemath. 18The descendants of Esau and his wife Oholibamah became the leaders of the clans of Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. These are the clan leaders who descended from Esau’s wife Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah. 19These are the clans descended from Esau (also known as Edom), identified by their clan leaders.

Original Peoples of Edom

2020These are the names of the tribes that descended from Seir the Horite. They lived in the jand of Edom: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, 21Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan. These were the Horite clan leaders, the descendants of Seir, who lived in the land of Edom. 22The descendants of Lotan were Hori and Heman. Lotan also had a sister named Timna. 23The descendants of Shobal were Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho, and Onam. 24The descendants of Zibeon were Aiah and Anah. (This is the Anah who discovered the hot springs in the wilderness while he was grazing his father’s donkeys.) 25The descendants of Anah were his son, Dishon, and his daughter, Oholibamah. 26The descendants of Dishon* were Hemdan, Eshban, Ithran, and Keran. 27The descendants of Ezer were Bilhan, Zaavan, and Akan. 28The descendants of Dishan were Uz and Aran. 29So these were the leaders of the Horite clans: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, 2°Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan. The Horite clans are named after their clan leaders, who lived in the land of Seir.

Rulers of Edom

3131These are the kings who ruled in the land of Edom before any king ruled over the

Israelites*:

3232Bela son of Beor, who ruled in Edom from the city of Dinhabah. 33After Bela died, Jobab son of Zerah from Bozrah became king in his place. 34After Jobab died, Husham from the land of the Temanites became king in his place. 35After Husham died, Hadad son of Bedad became king in his place and ruled from the city of Avith. He was the one who defeated the Midianites in the Jand of Moab. 36After Hadad died, Samlah from the city of Masrekah became king in his place. 37After Samlah died, Shaul from the city of Rehoboth-on-the-River became king in his place. 38A fter Shaul died, Baal-hanan son of Acbor became king in his place. 39After Baal-hanan son of Acbor died, Hadad* became king in his place and ruled from the city of Pau. Hadad’s wife was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred and granddaughter of Me-zahab. 40These are the names of the leaders of the clans descended from Esau, who lived in the places named for them: Timna, Alvah, Jetheth, 41Oholibamah, Elah, Pinon, 42Kenaz, Teman, Mibzar, 43Magdiel, and Iram. These are the leaders of the clans of Edom, listed according to their settlements in the land they occupied. They all descended from Esau, the ancestor of the Edomites.
