Genesis 36:1-19

1Now theseH428 are the records of the generationsH8435 of 1EsauH6215 (that is, EdomH112).

2EsauH6215 2tookH3947 his wivesH802 from the daughtersH1323 of CanaanH3667: AdahH5711 the daughterH1323 of ElonH356 the HittiteH2850, and 3OholibamahH173 the daughterH1323 of AnahH6034 and the 4granddaughterH1323 of ZibeonH6649 the HiviteH2340; 3also BasemathH1315, Ishmael’sH3458 daughterH1323, the sisterH269 of NebaiothH5032. 4AdahH5711 boreH3205 5EliphazH464 to EsauH6215, and BasemathH1315 boreH3205 ReuelH7467, 5and OholibamahH173 boreH3205 JeushH3266 and JalamH3281 and KorahH7141. TheseH428 are the sonsH1121 of EsauH6215 whoH834 were bornH3205 to him in the landH776 of CanaanH3667.

66Then EsauH6215 tookH3947 his wivesH802 and his sonsH1121 and his daughtersH1323 and allH3605 7his householdH1004, and his livestockH4735 and allH3605 his cattleH929 and allH3605 his goodsH7075 whichH834 he had acquiredH7408 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and wentH1980 to another landH776 away from his brotherH251 JacobH3290. 78For their propertyH7399 had becomeH1961 tooH4480 greatH7227 for them to 9liveH3427 togetherH3164, and the 10landH776 whereH4033 they 11sojournedH4033 couldH3201 not sustainH5375 them becauseH4480H6440 of their livestockH4735. 8So EsauH6215 livedH3427 in the hillH2022 countryH2022 of 12SeirH8165; EsauH6215 is 13EdomH112.

9TheseH428 then are the records of the generationsH8435 of EsauH6215 the fatherH1 of 14the EdomitesH112 in the hillH2022 countryH2022 of SeirH8165. 10TheseH428 are the namesH8034 of Esau’sH6215 sonsH1121: EliphazH464 the sonH1121 of Esau’sH6215 wifeH802 AdahH5711, ReuelH7467 the sonH1121 of Esau’sH6215 wifeH802 BasemathH1315. 11The sonsH1121 of EliphazH464 were TemanH8487, OmarH201, 15ZephoH6825 and GatamH1609 and KenazH7073. 12TimnaH8555 was a concubineH6370 of Esau’sH6215 sonH1121 EliphazH464 and she boreH3205 16AmalekH6002 to EliphazH464. TheseH428 are the sonsH1121 of Esau’sH6215 wifeH802 AdahH5711. 13TheseH428 are the sonsH1121 of ReuelH7467: NahathH5184 and ZerahH2226, ShammahH8048 and MizzahH4199. TheseH428 were the sonsH1121 of Esau’sH6215 wifeH802 BasemathH1315. 14TheseH428 were the sonsH1121 of Esau’sH6215 wifeH802 OholibamahH173, the daughterH1323 of AnahH6034 and the 17granddaughterH1323 of ZibeonH6649: 18she boreH3205 to EsauH6215, JeushH3266 and JalamH3281 and KorahH7141.

15TheseH428 are the chiefsH441 of the sonsH1121 of EsauH6215.

TheseH428 are the chiefsH441 19descended from EliphazH464 in the landH776 of EdomH112; theseH428 are the sonsH1121 of AdahH5711. 17TheseH428 are the sonsH1121 of ReuelH7467, Esau’sH6215 sonH1121: chiefH441 NahathH5184, chiefH441 ZerahH2226, chiefH441 ShammahH8048, chiefH441 MizzahH4199.
