- Kapitel 36 -

(1 Chronicles 1:35–37)

These are those who descended from Esau, whose other name was Edom, and what happened concerning them.

Esau married three women from Canaan land: Adah, the daughter of Elon the Hethite; Oholibamah, who was the daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon the Hittite;

and Basemath, who was the daughter of Ishmael and sister of Nebaioth.

Esau’s wife Adah gave birth to Eliphaz. Basemath gave birth to Reuel.

Oholibamah gave birth to Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. All these sons of Esau were born while he was living in Canaan land.

Jacob and Esau had very many possessions. For this reason, they needed more land for their livestock. The land where they were living was not big enough for all their livestock.

So Esau, whose other name was Edom, had taken his wives and sons and daughters and all the other members of his household, his sheep and goats and his other animals, and all the other things he had obtained in Canaan land, and they had moved to an area that was away from Jacob.

They went to live in the hill country of Seir.

These are those who descended from Esau, the ancestor of the Edom people group who live in the Seir area.

Esau’s wife Adah gave birth to Eliphaz, and Esau’s wife Basemath gave birth to Reuel.

The sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz.

Esau’s son Eliphaz also had a concubine. Her name was Timna. She gave birth to Amalek. Those six men were grandsons of Esau’s wife Adah.

Reuel’s sons were Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. They were grandsons of Esau’s wife Basemath.

Esau’s wife Oholibamah, who was the daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon, gave birth to three sons: Jeush, Jalam, and Korah.

These are the chiefs among the descendants of Esau. The descendants of Eliphaz, his firstborn son, these were the chiefs: Teman, Omar, Zepho, Kenaz,

Korah, Gatam, and Amalek people groups. These were chiefs that descended from Eliphaz who lived in Edom; they were grandsons of Adah.

The sons of Esau’s son Reuel were ancestors of the Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah people groups. They were descended from Esau’s wife Basemath. They also lived in Edom.

The sons of Esau’s wife Oholibamah, whose mother was Anah, were ancestors of the Jeush, Jalam, and Korah people groups.

That is the list of the sons of Esau, and the people groups who were their descendants.

The Descendants of Seir

(1 Chronicles 1:38–42)

This is a list of the descendants of Seir, who belonged to the Hor people group, who were the first people group who lived in the region of Edom: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah,

Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan. Those seven men each became ancestors of a people group. Each of the people groups had the same name as the name of their ancestor.

The sons of Lotan were Hori and Heman. Lotan’s sister was Timna.

The sons of Shobal were Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho, and Onam.

The sons of Zibeon were Aiah and Anah. This Anah was the one who discovered the hot springs in the desert while he was taking care of his father Zibeon’s donkeys.

Anah had two children, a son named Dishon and a daughter named Oholibamah.

Dishon’s sons were Hemdan, Eshban, Ithran, and Keran.

Ezer’s sons were Bilhan, Zaavan, and Akan.

Dishan’s sons were Uz and Aran.

The people groups who were descendants of Hor lived in Seir land.

The names of the people groups are Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan.

The Kings of Edom

(1 Chronicles 1:43–54)

These are the names of the kings who ruled in Edom before any kings ruled over the Israelites.

Beor’s son Bela became the first king in Edom. The city where he lived was named Dinhabah.

When Bela died, Zerah’s son Jobab became the king. He was from the city of Bozrah.

When Jobab died, Husham became the king. He was from the region where the Teman people group lived.

When Husham died, Bedad’s son Hadan became the king. Husham’s army fought the army of the Midian people group in the region of Moab and defeated them. The city where Husham lived was Avith.

When Hadad died, Samlah became the king. He was from Masrekah.

When Samlah died, Shaul became the king. He was from Rehoboth, that was beside the Euphrates river.

When Shaul died, Akbor’s son Baal-Hanan became king.

When Akbor’s son Baal-Hanan died, Hadad became king. The city where he lived was named Pau. His wife’s name was Mehetabel. She was the daughter of Matred, who was the daughter of Me Zahab.

Here is a list of all the people groups that were descendants of Esau: Timna, Alvah, Jetheth,

Oholibamah, Elah, Pinon,

Kenaz, Teman, Mibzar,

Magdiel, and Iram. They all lived in the land of Edom. The land where each people group lived got the same name as the name of the people group.

(1 Chronicles 1:35–37)

Now this is the history of the generations of Esau (that is, Edom).

Esau took his wives from the daughters of Canaan: Adah the daughter of Elon, the Hittite; and Oholibamah the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon, the Hivite;

and Basemath, Ishmael’s daughter, sister of Nebaioth.

Adah bore to Esau Eliphaz. Basemath bore Reuel.

Oholibamah bore Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. These are the sons of Esau, who were born to him in the land of Canaan.

Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters, and all the members of his household, with his livestock, all his animals, and all his possessions, which he had gathered in the land of Canaan, and went into a land away from his brother Jacob.

For their substance was too great for them to dwell together, and the land of their travels couldn’t bear them because of their livestock.

Esau lived in the hill country of Seir. Esau is Edom.

This is the history of the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in the hill country of Seir:

these are the names of Esau’s sons: Eliphaz, the son of Adah, the wife of Esau; and Reuel, the son of Basemath, the wife of Esau.

The sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenaz.

Timna was concubine to Eliphaz, Esau’s son; and she bore to Eliphaz Amalek. These are the descendants of Adah, Esau’s wife.

These are the sons of Reuel: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. These were the descendants of Basemath, Esau’s wife.

These were the sons of Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon, Esau’s wife: she bore to Esau Jeush, Jalam, and Korah.

These are the chiefs of the sons of Esau: the sons of Eliphaz the firstborn of Esau: chief Teman, chief Omar, chief Zepho, chief Kenaz,

chief Korah, chief Gatam, chief Amalek. These are the chiefs who came of Eliphaz in the land of Edom. These are the sons of Adah.

These are the sons of Reuel, Esau’s son: chief Nahath, chief Zerah, chief Shammah, chief Mizzah. These are the chiefs who came of Reuel in the land of Edom. These are the sons of Basemath, Esau’s wife.

These are the sons of Oholibamah, Esau’s wife: chief Jeush, chief Jalam, chief Korah. These are the chiefs who came of Oholibamah the daughter of Anah, Esau’s wife.

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

The Descendants of Seir

(1 Chronicles 1:38–42)

These are the sons of Seir the Horite, the inhabitants of the land: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah,

Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan. These are the chiefs who came of the Horites, the children of Seir in the land of Edom.

The children of Lotan were Hori and Heman. Lotan’s sister was Timna.

These are the children of Shobal: Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho, and Onam.

These are the children of Zibeon: Aiah and Anah. This is Anah who found the hot springs in the wilderness, as he fed the donkeys of Zibeon his father.

These are the children of Dishon: Hemdan, Eshban, Ithran, and Cheran.

chief Dishon, chief Ezer, and chief Dishan. These are the chiefs who came of the Horites, according to their chiefs in the land of Seir.

The Kings of Edom

(1 Chronicles 1:43–54)

These are the kings who reigned in the land of Edom, before any king reigned over the children of Israel.

Bela, the son of Beor, reigned in Edom. The name of his city was Dinhabah.

Bela died, and Jobab, the son of Zerah of Bozrah, reigned in his place.

Jobab died, and Husham of the land of the Temanites reigned in his place.
