36:1 Esau’s descendants

(1 Chr. 1:34-37)

36These are the descendants of Esau (who’s also known as Edom): 2Esau had married two local women from the Canaan region: Adah (the Hittite Elon’s daughter) and Oholibamah (Anah’s daughter and granddaughter of the Hivite Zibeon)[ref] 3and Basemat (Ishmael’s daughter and the sister of Nevayot).[ref]

4Esau’s wife Adah gave birth to Elifaz, and Basemat gave birth to Reuel. 5Oholibamah gave birth to Jeush and Jalam and Korah. Those were Esau’s sons who were born in the Canaan region.

6Then Esau took his wives and his sons and daughters and all his household, and his livestock and all his animals and all his possessions that he had acquired in the Canaan region, and he went to a place far away from his brother Yisra’el, 7because they had too many possessions for them to remain together, and the land they were staying in wasn’t able to support both of them because of all their livestock. 8So Esau (also known as Edom) settled his household in the Se’ir hills.

9Now these are the following generations of Esau, the father of the Edomites in the Se’ir hills: 10Two of Esau’s sons were Elifaz, who he had with his wife Adah, and Reuel, who he had with his wife Basemat.

11Elifaz’s sons were Teman, Omar, Zepho and Gatam and Kenaz. 12Elifaz and his slave-wife Timna had a son they named Amalek. (Elifaz’s sons were all grandsons of Esau and his wife Adah.) 13Reuel’s sons were Nahat, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. (They were the grandsons of Esau and his wife Basemat.) 14Esau and his wife Oholibamah had Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. (Oholibamah was the daughter of Anah and the granddaughter of Zibeon.)

15These were Esau’s sons who became leaders: the sons of Elifaz (Esau’s eldest son) which were Chief Teman, Chief Omar, Chief Zepho, Chief Kenaz, 16Chief Korah, Chief Gatam, Chief Amalek. Those were the chiefs of Elifaz in the Edom region. (They were the grandsons of Esau and his wife Adah.)

17These were the sons of Esau’s son Reuel: Chief Nahath, Chief Zerah, Chief Shammah, Chief Mizzah. Those were the chiefs of Reuel in the Edom region. (They were the grandsons of Esau and his wife Basemath.)

18These were the sons of Esau’s wife Oholibamah: Chief Jeush, Chief Jalam, Chief Korah. (They were the chiefs from Esau’s wife Oholibamah—Anah’s daughter.) 19Those were the sons of Esau (also known as Edom), and those were their chiefs.
