OET-RV GEN Chapter 36

36 These are the descendants of Esau (who’s also known as Edom): 2 Esau 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] 3 and Basemat (Ishmael’s daughter and the sister of Nevayot).[ref]

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

6 Then 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, 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 Esau (also known as Edom) settled his household in the Se’ir hills.

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

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

15 These 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, 16 Chief 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.)

17 These 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.)

18 These 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.) 19 Those were the sons of Esau (also known as Edom), and those were their chiefs.

20 These were the sons of Se’ir the Horite who were inhabiting that area: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, 21 Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan. Those were the chiefs of the Horites, Se’ir’s sons, in the Edom region. 22 Lotan’s sons were Hori and Hemam, and his sister was Timna. 23 Shobal’s sons were Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho, and Onam. 24 Zibeon’s sons were Aiah 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 Oholibamah. 26 Dishon’s sons were Hemdan, Eshban, Ithran, and Keran. 27 Ezer’s sons were Bilhan, Zaavan, and Akan. 28 Dishan’s sons were Uz and Aran. 29 These were the chiefs of the Horites: Chief Lotan, Chief Shobal, Chief Zibeon, Chief Anah, 30 Chief Dishon, Chief Ezer, Chief Dishan. Those were the chiefs of the Horites, according to their clans in the Se’ir region.

31 And these were the kings who reigned in Edom region before the tribes of Yisra’el had a king: 32 Beor’s son Bela reigned in Edom, and the name of his city was Dinhabah. 33 Then Bela died, and Zerah’s son Yobab from Bozrah reigned in his place. 34 Then Yobab died, and Husham from the land of the Temanites reigned in his place. 35 Then Husham died, and Bedad’s son Hadad reigned in his place, and the name of his city was Avith. He was the one who attacked the Midianites in the field of Moab. 36 Then Hadad died, and Samlah from Masrekah reigned in his place. 37 Then Samlah died, and Sha’ul from Rehoboth by the river reigned in his place. 38 Then Sha’ul died, and Acbor’s son Baal-Hanan reigned in his place. 39 Then (Acbor’s son) Baal-Hanan died, and Hadar reigned in his place, and the name of his city was Pau. His wife’s name was Mehetabel (and she was the daughter of Matred’s daughter and the granddaughter of Me-Zahab).

40 And these are the names of the chiefs of Esau, according to their clans, according to their places, by their names: Chief Timna, Chief Alvan, Chief Jetheth, 41 Chief Oholibamah, Chief Elah, Chief Pinon, 42 Chief Kenaz, Chief Teman, Chief Mibzar, 43 Chief Magdiel, and Chief Iram. They were the chiefs of Edom, according to their dwellings in the land of their possession. That was the record about Esau, the ancestor of the Edomites.
