Genesis 36:4-17

4AdahH5711 boreH3205 1EliphazH464 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.

62Then EsauH6215 tookH3947 his wivesH802, his sonsH1121, his daughtersH1323, and allH3605 3his 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. 74For their possessionsH7399 had becomeH1961 tooH4480 greatH7227 for them to liveH3427 togetherH3164, and the 5landH776 whereH4033 they 6residedH4033 couldH3201 not supportH5375 them becauseH4480H6440 of their livestockH4735. 8So EsauH6215 livedH3427 in the hillH2022 countryH2022 of 7SeirH8165; EsauH6215 is 8EdomH112.

9TheseH428 then are the records of the generationsH8435 of EsauH6215 the fatherH1 of 9the 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, 10ZephoH6825, GatamH1609, and KenazH7073. 12TimnaH8555 was a concubineH6370 of Esau’sH6215 sonH1121 EliphazH464, and she boreH3205 11AmalekH6002 to EliphazH464. TheseH428 are the sonsH1121 of Esau’sH6215 wifeH802 AdahH5711. 13And theseH428 are the sonsH1121 of ReuelH7467: NahathH5184, ZerahH2226, ShammahH8048, and MizzahH4199. TheseH428 were the sonsH1121 of Esau’sH6215 wifeH802 BasemathH1315. 14And theseH428 were the sonsH1121 of Esau’sH6215 wifeH802 OholibamahH173, the daughterH1323 of AnahH6034, the 12granddaughterH1323 of ZibeonH6649: 13she boreH3205 to EsauH6215 JeushH3266, JalamH3281, and KorahH7141.

15TheseH428 are the chiefsH441 of the sonsH1121 of EsauH6215. The sonsH1121 of EliphazH464, the firstbornH1060 of EsauH6215, are chiefH441 TemanH8487, chiefH441 OmarH201, chiefH441 ZephoH6825, chiefH441 KenazH7073, 16chiefH441 KorahH7141, chiefH441 GatamH1609, and chiefH441 AmalekH6002. TheseH428 are the chiefsH441 14descended from EliphazH464 in the landH776 of EdomH112; theseH428 are the sonsH1121 of AdahH5711. 17And theseH428 are the sonsH1121 of ReuelH7467, Esau’sH6215 sonH1121: chiefH441 NahathH5184, chiefH441 ZerahH2226, chiefH441 ShammahH8048, and chiefH441 MizzahH4199. TheseH428 are the chiefsH441 15descended from ReuelH7467 in the landH776 of EdomH112; theseH428 are the sonsH1121 of Esau’sH6215 wifeH802 BasemathH1315.
