Genesis 36
American Standard Version
1Now these are the generationsH8435 of EsauH6215 (the same is EdomH123). 2EsauH6215 tookH3947 his wivesH802 of the daughtersH1323 of CanaanH3667: AdahH5711 the daughterH1323 of ElonH356 the HittiteH2850, and OholibamahH173 the daughterH1323 of AnahH6034, the daughterH1323 of ZibeonH6649 the HiviteH2340, 3and BasemathH1315 Ishmael’s daughterH1323, sisterH269 of NebaiothH5032. 4And AdahH5711 bare to EsauH6215 EliphazH464; and BasemathH1315 bare ReuelH7467; 5and OholibamahH173 bare Jeush, and JalamH3281, and KorahH7141: these are the sonsH1121 of EsauH6215, that were bornH3205 unto him in the landH776 of CanaanH3667. 6And EsauH6215 tookH3947 his wivesH802, and his sonsH1121, and his daughtersH1323, and all the soulsH5315 of his houseH1004, and his cattleH929, and all his beasts, and all his possessions, which he had gathered in the landH776 of CanaanH3667; and went into a landH776 awayH3947 from his brotherH251 JacobH3290. 7For their substance wasH1961 too greatH7227 for them to dwellH3427 togetherH3162; and the landH776 of their sojourningsH4033 could not bearH5375 them because of their cattle. 8And EsauH6215 dweltH3427 in mount SeirH8165: EsauH6215 is EdomH123.
9And these are the generationsH8435 of EsauH6215 the fatherH1 of the Edomites in mount SeirH8165: 10these are the namesH8034 of Esau’s sonsH1121: EliphazH464 the sonH1121 of AdahH5711 the wifeH802 of EsauH6215, ReuelH7467 the sonH1121 of BasemathH1315 the wifeH802 of EsauH6215. 11And the sonsH1121 of EliphazH464 wereH1961 TemanH8487, OmarH201, ZephoH6825, and GatamH1609, and KenazH7073. 12And TimnaH8555 wasH1961 concubineH6370 to EliphazH464 Esau’s sonH1121; and she bare to EliphazH464 AmalekH6002: these are the sonsH1121 of AdahH5711, Esau’s wifeH802. 13And these are the sonsH1121 of ReuelH7467: NahathH5184, and ZerahH2226, ShammahH8048, and MizzahH4199: these wereH1961 the sonsH1121 of BasemathH1315, Esau’s wifeH802. 14And these wereH1961 the sonsH1121 of OholibamahH173 the daughterH1323 of AnahH6034, the daughterH1323 of ZibeonH6649, Esau’s wifeH802: and she bare to EsauH6215 Jeush, and JalamH3281, and KorahH7141.
