Esau Moves

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, the 45granddaughterH1323 of ZibeonH6649 the HiviteH2340; 3also BasemathH1315, Ishmael’sH3458 daughterH1323, the sisterH269 of NebaiothH5032. 4AdahH5711 boreH3205 6EliphazH464 to EsauH6215, and BasemathH1315 gaveH3205 birthH3205 to ReuelH7467, 5and OholibamahH173 gaveH3205 birthH3205 to JeushH3266, JalamH3281, and KorahH7141. TheseH428 are the sonsH1121 of EsauH6215 whoH834 were bornH3205 to him in the landH776 of CanaanH3667.

67Then EsauH6215 tookH3947 his wivesH802, his sonsH1121, his daughtersH1323, and allH3605 8his householdH1004, and his livestockH4735 and allH3605 his cattleH929, and allH3605 his propertyH7075 whichH834 he had acquiredH7408 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and wentH1980 to another landH776 away from his brotherH251 JacobH3290. 79For their possessionsH7399 had becomeH1961 tooH4480 greatH7227 for them to liveH3427 togetherH3164, and the 10landH776 whereH4033 they 11residedH4033 couldH3201 not supportH5375 them becauseH4480H6440 of their livestockH4735. 8So EsauH6215 livedH3427 in the hillH2022 countryH2022 of 12SeirH8165; EsauH6215 is 13EdomH112.

Descendants of Esau

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, and ReuelH7467 the sonH1121 of Esau’sH6215 wifeH802 BasemathH1315. 11The sonsH1121 of EliphazH464 were TemanH8487, OmarH201, 15ZephoH6825, GatamH1609, and KenazH7073. 12TimnaH8555 was a concubineH6370 of Esau’sH6215 sonH1121 EliphazH464, and she boreH3205 16AmalekH6002 to EliphazH464.

TheseH428 are the chiefsH441 32descended from the HoritesH2752, according to their various chiefsH441 in the landH776 of SeirH8165.

31Now theseH428 are the kingsH4428 whoH834 reignedH4427 in the landH776 of EdomH112 beforeH6440 any 33kingH4428 reignedH4427 over the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478. 323435BelaH1106 the sonH1121 of BeorH1160 reignedH4427 in EdomH112, and the nameH8034 of his cityH5892 was DinhabahH1838. 33Then BelaH1106 diedH4191, and JobabH3103 the sonH1121 of ZerahH2226 of BozrahH1224 becameH4427 kingH4427 inH8478 his placeH8478. 34Then JobabH3103 diedH4191, and HushamH2367 of the landH776 of the TemanitesH8489 becameH4427 kingH4427 inH8478 his placeH8478. 35Then HushamH2367 diedH4191, and HadadH1908 the sonH1121 of BedadH911, who 36defeatedH5221 MidianH4080 in the fieldH7704 of MoabH4124, becameH4427 kingH4427 inH8478 his placeH8478; and the nameH8034 of his cityH5892 was AvithH5762. 36Then HadadH1908 diedH4191, and SamlahH8072 of MasrekahH4957 becameH4427 kingH4427 inH8478 his placeH8478. 37Then SamlahH8072 diedH4191, and ShaulH7586 of RehobothH7344 on the Euphrates RiverH5104 becameH4427 kingH4427 inH8478 his placeH8478. 38Then ShaulH7586 diedH4191, and Baal-hananH1177 the sonH1121 of AchborH5907 becameH4427 kingH4427 inH8478 his placeH8478. 39Then Baal-hananH1177 the sonH1121 of AchborH5907 diedH4191, and 37HadarH1924 becameH4427 kingH4427 inH8478 his placeH8478; and the nameH8034 of his cityH5892 was 38PauH6464; and his wife’sH802 nameH8034 was MehetabelH4105, the daughterH1323 of MatredH4308, daughterH1323 of MezahabH4314.
