Genesis 36

Esau’s Descendants

1Ch 1:35–42

1Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom.

2Esau took his wives from the daughters of Canaan: Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite,[#Ge 36:25]

3and Basemath, Ishmael’s daughter, sister of Nebaioth.[#Ge 28:9]

4Adah bore to Esau Eliphaz, and Basemath bore Reuel,[#1Ch 1:35]

5and Oholibamah bore Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. These are the sons of Esau, who were born to him in the land of Canaan.

6Then Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters, and all the people of his house, his livestock, all his animals, and all his property that he had acquired in the land of Canaan, and he moved to a land some distance from his brother Jacob.

7For their possessions were too great for them to dwell together, and the land where they were foreigners could not sustain them because of their livestock.[#Ge 17:8; #Ge 13:6]

8So Esau settled in the hill country of Seir. Esau is Edom.[#Ge 32:3]

9These are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in the hill country of Seir.

The Chiefs of Edom

15These were chiefs of the sons of Esau.

19These were the sons of Esau, who is Edom, and these were their chiefs.

The Sons of Seir

20These were the sons of Seir the Horite, who inhabited the land:[#Ge 14:6; Dt 2:12]

The Kings of Edom

1Ch 1:43–54

31These were the kings who reigned in the land of Edom before there reigned any king over the Israelites.[#Ge 17:6, 16]

40These are the names of the chiefs who came from Esau, according to their families, according to their places, by their names:

Esau was the father of the Edomites.
