Genesis 36:1-43

Here are the descendants of Esau, also known as Edom: Esau chose three wives from among Canaanite women: Adah (daughter of Elon the Hittite), Oholibamah (daughter of Anah son of Zibeon the Hivite ), and Basemath (Ishmael’s daughter, sister of Nebaioth). Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau; Basemath bore Reuel; and Oholibamah bore Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. These are the sons who were born to Esau in the land of Canaan. Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters, and his entire household, and the cattle, livestock, and possessions he had acquired in the land of Canaan, and migrated to the land of Seir some distance from his brother Jacob. Since the land where Jacob was living could not support their combined possessions and livestock, Esau (also known as Edom), settled in the hill country of Seir. This is the account of Esau, ancestor of the Edomites in the hill country of Seir: Esau’s wife Adah bore him one son Eliphaz, and Eliphaz had five sons: Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz. Eliphaz also had a son with his concubine Timna, named Amelek. Esau’s wife Basemath bore him one son Reuel, and Reuel had four sons: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. Esau’s wife Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon, bore Esau three sons: Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. These are the tribes descended from Esau’s firstborn son Eliphaz whom Adah bore, and who lived in Edom: Teman, Omar, Zepho, Kenaz, Korah, Gatam, and Amalek. These are the tribes descended from Esau and Basemath’s son Reuel, who lived in Edom: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. These are the tribes descended from Esau’s wife Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah: Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. This concludes the list of the descendants of Esau (also known as Edom) and their respective tribes. These are the tribes descended from Seir the Horite, of the original inhabitants of Edom: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan. All of these were the descendants of Seir. Lotan’s sons were Hori and Heman, and Lotan’s sister was Timna. Shobal’s sons were Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho, and Onam. Zibeon’s sons were Aiah and Anah. This is the Anah who discovered the springs in the wilderness while he was grazing the donkeys of his father Zibeon. Anah’s son was Dishon, and Anah’s daughter was Oholibamah. Dishon’s sons were Hemdan, Eshban, Ithran, and Keran. Ezer’s sons were Bilhan, Zaavan, and Akan. Dishan’s sons were Uz and Aran. This concludes the list of the Horite tribes in the land of Seir: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan. Long before the Israelites had kings, there were eight kings who reigned in Edom, beginning with Bela son of Beor from the city of Dinhabah. When Bela died, Jobab son of Zerah from the city of Bozrah succeeded. When Jobab died, Husham from the land of Teman succeeded him. When Husham died, Hadad from the city of Avith, who was the son of Bedad, succeeded him. Hadad defeated the Midianites in the land of Moab. When Hadad died, Samlah of Masrekah succeeded him. When Samlah died, Shaul of Rehoboth-on-the-River succeeded him. When Shaul died, Baal-Hanan son of Achbor succeeded him. When Baal-Hanan son of Achbor died, Hadar from the city of Pau succeeded him. (His wife was Mehetabel the daughter of Matred, Me-Zahab’s granddaughter.) These are the tribes of Esau according to their clans and regions: Timna, Alvah, Jetheth, Oholibamah, Elah, Pinon, Kenaz, Teman, Mibzar, Magdiel, and Iram. This concludes the list of the Edomite tribes who settled and possessed land in different regions of their country. All the Edomites descended from Esau.
