17The sons of Shem were Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, Aram, Uz, Hul, Gether, and Meshech.
18Arphaxad begot Shelah, and Shelah begot Eber.
19To Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan.
20Joktan begot Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,
21Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,
22Ebal, Abimael, Sheba,
23Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.
24Shem, Arphaxad, Shelah,
25Eber, Peleg, Reu,
26Serug, Nahor, Terah,
27and Abram, who is Abraham.
28The sons of Abraham were Isaac and Ishmael.
29These are their genealogies: The firstborn of Ishmael was Nebajoth; then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
30Mishma, Dumah, Massa, Hadad, Tema,
31Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah. These were the sons of Ishmael.
32Now the sons born to Keturah, Abraham’s concubine, were Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. The sons of Jokshan were Sheba and Dedan.
33The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
34And Abraham begot Isaac. The sons of Isaac were Esau and Israel.
35The sons of Esau were Eliphaz, Reuel, Jeush, Jaalam, and Korah.
36And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zephi, Gatam, and Kenaz; and by Timna, Amalek.
37The sons of Reuel were Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah.
38The sons of Seir were Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan.
39And the sons of Lotan were Hori and Homam; Lotan’s sister was Timna.
40The sons of Shobal were Alian, Manahath, Ebal, Shephi, and Onam. The sons of Zibeon were Ajah and Anah.
41The son of Anah was Dishon. The sons of Dishon were Hamran, Eshban, Ithran, and Cheran.
42The sons of Ezer were Bilhan, Zaavan, and Jaakan. The sons of Dishan were Uz and Aran.
43Now these were the kings who reigned in the land of Edom before a king reigned over the children of Israel: Bela the son of Beor, and the name of his city was Dinhabah.
44And when Bela died, Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his place.
45When Jobab died, Husham of the land of the Temanites reigned in his place.
46And when Husham died, Hadad the son of Bedad, who attacked Midian in the field of Moab, reigned in his place. The name of his city was Avith.
47When Hadad died, Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his place.
48And when Samlah died, Saul of Rehoboth-by-the-River reigned in his place.
49When Saul died, Baal-Hanan the son of Achbor reigned in his place.
50And when Baal-Hanan died, Hadad reigned in his place; and the name of his city was Pai. His wife’s name was Mehetabel the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab.
51Hadad died also. And the chiefs of Edom were Chief Timnah, Chief Aliah, Chief Jetheth,
52Chief Aholibamah, Chief Elah, Chief Pinon,
53Chief Kenaz, Chief Teman, Chief Mibzar,
54Chief Magdiel, and Chief Iram. These were the chiefs of Edom.
