OET-RV GEN Chapter 36

36 These are the descendants of Esav (Esau) (who’s also known as Edom): 2 Esav had married two local women from the Kena’an (Canaan) region: Adah (the Hiti Eylon’s daughter) and Oholivamah (Anah’s daughter and granddaughter of the Hivi Tsivoen)[ref] 3 and Basemat (Yishmael’s (Ishmael) daughter and the sister of Nevayot).[ref]

4 Esav’s wife Adah gave birth to Elifaz, and Basemat gave birth to Re’uel. 5 Oholivamah gave birth to Ye’ush and Yaelam and Korah. Those were Esav’s sons who were born in the Kena’an region.

6 Then Esav 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 Kena’an region, and he went to a place far away from his brother Yisrael (Israel), 7 because 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. 8 So Esav (also known as Edom) settled his household in the Se’ir hills.

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

11 Elifaz’s sons were Teyman, Omar, Tsefo and Gaetam and Kenaz. 12 Elifaz and his slave-wife Timna had a son they named Amalek. (Elifaz’s sons were all grandsons of Esav and his wife Adah.) 13 Re’uel’s sons were Nahat, Zerah, Shamah, and Mizah. (They were the grandsons of Esav and his wife Basemat.) 14 Esav and his wife Oholivamah had Ye’ush, Yaelam, and Korah. (Oholivamah was the daughter of Anah and the granddaughter of Tsivoen.)

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

17 These were the sons of Esav’s son Re’uel: Chief Nahat, Chief Zerah, Chief Shamah, Chief Mizah. Those were the chiefs of Re’uel in the Edom region. (They were the grandsons of Esav and his wife Basemat.)

18 These were the sons of Esav’s wife Oholivamah: Chief Ye’ush, Chief Yaelam, Chief Korah. (They were the chiefs from Esav’s wife Oholivamah—Anah’s daughter.) 19 Those were the sons of Esav (also known as Edom), and those were their chiefs.

20 These were the sons of Se’ir the Hori who were inhabiting that area: Lotan, Shoval, Tsivoen, Anah, 21 Dishon, Etser, and Dishan. Those were the chiefs of the Horim, Se’ir’s sons, in the Edom region. 22 Lotan’s sons were Hori and Homam, and his sister was Timna. 23 Shoval’s sons were Alvan, Manahat, Eyval, Shefo, and Onam. 24 Tsivoen’s sons were Ayah and Anah. This is the same Anah who discovered some hot springs while he was out in the desert grazing his father’s donkeys. 25 Anah’s children were his son Dishon and his daughter Oholivamah. 26 Dishon’s sons were Hemdan, Eshban, Yitran, and Keran. 27 Etser’s sons were Bilhan, Za’avan, and Akan. 28 Dishan’s sons were Uts (Uz) and Aran. 29 These were the chiefs of the Horim: Chief Lotan, Chief Shoval, Chief Tsivoen, Chief Anah, 30 Chief Dishon, Chief Etser, Chief Dishan. Those were the chiefs of the Horim, according to their clans in the Se’ir region.

31 And these were the kings who reigned in Edom region before the tribes of Yisrael (Israel) had a king: 32 Be’or’s son Bela reigned in Edom, and the name of his city was Dinhavah. 33 Then Bela died, and Zerah’s son Yovav from Batserah reigned in his place. 34 Then Yovav died, and Husham from the land of the Teymanin reigned in his place. 35 Then Husham died, and Bedad’s son Hadad reigned in his place, and the name of his city was Avit. He was the one who attacked the Midyanites in the countryside in Moav (Moab). 36 Then Hadad died, and Samlah from Masrekah reigned in his place. 37 Then Samlah died, and Shaul from Rehovot by the river reigned in his place. 38 Then Shaul died, and Akbor’s son Ba’al-Hanan reigned in his place. 39 Then (Akbor’s son) Ba’al-Hanan died, and Hadar reigned in his place, and the name of his city was Paeu. His wife’s name was Meheytavel (and she was the daughter of Matred’s daughter and the granddaughter of Mey-Zahav).

40 And these are the names of the chiefs of Esav (Esau), according to their clans, according to their places, by their names: Chief Timna, Chief Alvan, Chief Yetet, 41 Chief Oholivamah, Chief Elah, Chief Pinon, 42 Chief Kenaz, Chief Teyman, Chief Mivtsar, 43 Chief Magdiyel, and Chief Iram. They were the chiefs of Edom, according to their dwellings in the land of their possession. That was the record about Esav, the ancestor of the Edomim.
