Notice that the chiefs listed below are different from those listed in the verses above, except for Kenaz and Teman (verse 15). Also, consider whether or not it is better in your language to break up this long sentence into two shorter sentences. Alternate translation: “more of the chiefs who descended from Esau. These chiefs led their own family groups in their own territories, which were named after them:” or “more of the descendants of Esau who were tribal leaders; the tribes and the regions where they lived were named after them:”

The Hebrew text is ambiguous here. (1) Most translations treat all the names in verses 40-43 as the names of chiefs (as in the ULT and UST of these verses). (2) However, some scholars think that all the names in verses 40-43 are the names of regions or clans and say, “These are/were the names of the clans/tribes that descended from Esau. Each clan/tribe lived in the land of Edom in its own region that was named after that clan/tribe. The names of the clans/tribes were TImna, Alvan … Iram. Those were the names of the clans/tribes of the Edomites. Each of the clans/tribes lived in their own part of the land of Edom that they owned …”
36:1-43 The book turns to the accounts of Isaac’s sons, concluding the unchosen line of Esau (ch 36) before proceeding with the chosen line of Jacob (ch 37).
