Esau’s Descendants

36 This is the account of the family line of Esau (that is, Edom).

Esau took his wives from the women of Canaan: Adah daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite— also Basemath daughter of Ishmael and sister of Nebaioth.

Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau, Basemath bore Reuel, and Oholibamah bore Jeush, Jalam and Korah. These were the sons of Esau, who were born to him in Canaan.

Esau took his wives and sons and daughters and all the members of his household, as well as his livestock and all his other animals and all the goods he had acquired in Canaan, and moved to a land some distance from his brother Jacob. Their possessions were too great for them to remain together; the land where they were staying could not support them both because of their livestock. So Esau (that is, Edom) settled in the hill country of Seir.

This is the account of the family line of Esau the father of the Edomites in the hill country of Seir.

10 These are the names of Esau’s sons:

Eliphaz, the son of Esau’s wife Adah, and Reuel, the son of Esau’s wife Basemath.

11 The sons of Eliphaz:

Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam and Kenaz.

12 Esau’s son Eliphaz also had a concubine named Timna, who bore him Amalek. These were grandsons of Esau’s wife Adah.

13 The sons of Reuel:

Nahath, Zerah, Shammah and Mizzah. These were grandsons of Esau’s wife Basemath.

14 The sons of Esau’s wife Oholibamah daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon, whom she bore to Esau:

Jeush, Jalam and Korah.

15 These were the chiefs among Esau’s descendants:

The sons of Eliphaz the firstborn of Esau:

Chiefs Teman, Omar, Zepho, Kenaz, 16 Korah, Gatam and Amalek. These were the chiefs descended from Eliphaz in Edom; they were grandsons of Adah.

17 The sons of Esau’s son Reuel:

Chiefs Nahath, Zerah, Shammah and Mizzah. These were the chiefs descended from Reuel in Edom; they were grandsons of Esau’s wife Basemath.

18 The sons of Esau’s wife Oholibamah:

Chiefs Jeush, Jalam and Korah. These were the chiefs descended from Esau’s wife Oholibamah daughter of Anah.

19 These were the sons of Esau (that is, Edom), and these were their chiefs.

20 These were the sons of Seir the Horite, who were living in the region:

Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, 21 Dishon, Ezer and Dishan. These sons of Seir in Edom were Horite chiefs.

22 The sons of Lotan:

Hori and Homam. Timna was Lotan’s sister.

23 The sons of Shobal:

Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho and Onam.

24 The sons of Zibeon:

Aiah and Anah. This is the Anah who discovered the hot springs in the desert while he was grazing the donkeys of his father Zibeon.

25 The children of Anah:

Dishon and Oholibamah daughter of Anah.

26 The sons of Dishon:

Hemdan, Eshban, Ithran and Keran.

27 The sons of Ezer:

Bilhan, Zaavan and Akan.

28 The sons of Dishan:

Uz and Aran.

29 These were the Horite chiefs:

Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, 30 Dishon, Ezer and Dishan. These were the Horite chiefs, according to their divisions, in the land of Seir.

The Rulers of Edom

31 These were the kings who reigned in Edom before any Israelite king reigned:

32 Bela son of Beor became king of Edom. His city was named Dinhabah.

33 When Bela died, Jobab son of Zerah from Bozrah succeeded him as king.

34 When Jobab died, Husham from the land of the Temanites succeeded him as king.

35 When Husham died, Hadad son of Bedad, who defeated Midian in the country of Moab, succeeded him as king. His city was named Avith.

36 When Hadad died, Samlah from Masrekah succeeded him as king.

37 When Samlah died, Shaul from Rehoboth on the river succeeded him as king.

38 When Shaul died, Baal-Hanan son of Akbor succeeded him as king.

39 When Baal-Hanan son of Akbor died, Hadad succeeded him as king. His city was named Pau, and his wife’s name was Mehetabel daughter of Matred, the daughter of Me-Zahab.

40 These were the chiefs descended from Esau, by name, according to their clans and regions:

Timna, Alvah, Jetheth, 41 Oholibamah, Elah, Pinon, 42 Kenaz, Teman, Mibzar, 43 Magdiel and Iram. These were the chiefs of Edom, according to their settlements in the land they occupied.

This is the family line of Esau, the father of the Edomites.

WYC 1382


Esau’s Descendants

36 Forsooth these be the generations of Esau; he is (also called) Edom.

Esau took wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah, the daughter of Elon (the) Hittite, and Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah, the son of Zibeon (the) Hivite; also Bashemath, the daughter of Ishmael, the sister of Nebajoth.

And Adah childed Eliphaz; Bashemath childed Reuel; Oholibamah childed Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah. These were the sons of Esau, that were born to him in the land of Canaan.

Soothly Esau took his wives, and his sons, and (his) daughters, and each soul of his house(hold), and his cattle, and (his) sheep, and all things which he had in the land of Canaan, and went into another country, and (so) departed from his brother Jacob; for they were full rich, and they might not dwell together, and the land of their pilgrimage sustained not them, for the multitude of flocks. And Esau dwelled in the hill of Seir; he is Edom.

Forsooth these were the generations of Esau, father of Edom, in the hill of Seir, 

10 and these were the names of his sons;

Eliphaz, the son of Adah, (the) wife of Esau, also Reuel (and Reuel), the son of Bashemath, (the) wife of Esau.

11 And the sons of Eliphaz

were Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenaz.

12 Forsooth Timna was the secondary wife of Eliphaz, Esau(’s) son, which Timna childed to him Amalek. These were the sons of Adah, Esau’s wife.

13 Forsooth the sons of Reuel

were Nahath, and Zerah, and Shammah, and Mizzah. These were the sons of Bashemath, Esau’s wife.

14 And these were the sons of Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah, son of Zibeon, Esau’s wife, which she childed to him;

Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah. 

15 These were (the) dukes of the sons of Esau;

the sons of Eliphaz, the first engendered of Esau;

duke Teman, duke Omar, duke Zepho, duke Kenaz, 16 duke

Korah, duke Gatam, and duke  Amalek. These were

the sons of Eliphaz, in the land of Edom, and these were the sons of Adah.

17 Also these were the sons of Reuel, Esau’s son;

duke Nahath, duke Zerah, duke Shammah, duke Mizzah; forsooth these dukes were of Reuel, in the land of Edom. These were the sons of Bashemath, Esau’s wife. 

18 Forsooth these were the sons of Oholibamah, Esau’s wife; 

duke Jeush, duke Jaalam, duke Korah; these were [the] dukes of Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah, Esau’s wife. 

19 These were the sons of Esau, and these were dukes of them; he is (also called) Edom.

20 (And) These were the sons of Seir (the) Horite, inhabiters of the land;

Lotan, and Shobal, and Zibeon, and Anah, 21 and Dishon, and Ezer, and Dishan; these dukes were of Horites, the son[s] of Seir, in the land of Edom.

22 Forsooth the sons of Lotan

were Hori, and Hemam; soothly the sister of Lotan was Timna.

23 And these were the sons of Shobal;

Alvan, and Manahath, and Ebal, Shepho, and Onam.

24 And these were the sons of Zibeon;

Ajah, and Anah; this is Ahan that found hot waters in the wilderness, when he kept the asses of Zibeon, his father;

25 and he had a son,

Dishon, and a daughter, Oholibamah.

26 And these were the sons of Dishon;

Hemdan, and Eshban, and Ithran, and Cheran.

27 Also these were the sons of Ezer;

Bilhan, and Zaavan, and Akan.

28 And Dishon had sons;

Uz, and Aran.

29 These were the dukes of Horites;

duke Lotan, duke Shobal, duke Zibeon, duke Anah, 30 duke Dishon, duke Ezer, duke Dishan; these were the dukes of Horites, that were lords in the land of Seir 

The Rulers of Edom

31 Forsooth [the] kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before that the sons of Israel had a king, were these;

32 Bela, the son of Beor, and the name of his city was Dinhabah.

33 Forsooth Bela died, and (then) Jobab, the son of Zerah of Bozrah, reigned for him.

34 And when Jobab was dead, Husham of the land of Temani reigned for him.

35 And when he was dead, Hadad, the son of Bedad, that smote Midian in the land of Moab, and the name of his city was Avith, reigned for him.

36 And when Hadad was dead, Samlah of Masrekah reigned for him.

37 And when he was dead, Saul of the flood [of] Rehoboth reigned for him. 

38 And when he was dead, Baalhanan, the son of Achbor, was successor into the realm.

39 And when he was dead, Hadar reigned for him, and the name of the city of Hadar was Pau, and the name of his wife was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab.

40 Therefore these were the names of the dukes of Esau, in their kindreds, and places, and (by their) names;

duke Timnah, duke Alvah, duke Jetheth, 41 duke Oholibamah, duke Elah, duke Pinon, 42 duke Kenaz, duke Teman, duke Mibzar, 43 duke Magdiel, duke Iram; these were the dukes of Edom, dwelling in the land of his lordship; he was Esau, the father of Idumeans.
