1 Now these are the generations of Esau (the same is Edom). 2 Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan: Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite, 3 and Basemath Ishmael’s daughter, sister of Nebaioth. 4 And Adah bare to Esau Eliphaz; and Basemath bare Reuel; 5 and Oholibamah bare Jeush, and Jalam, and Korah: these are the sons of Esau, that were born unto him in the land of Canaan. 6 And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the souls of his house, and his cattle, and all his beasts, and all his possessions, which he had gathered in the land of Canaan; and went into a land away from his brother Jacob. 7 For their substance was too great for them to dwell together; and the land of their sojournings could not bear them because of their cattle. 8 And Esau dwelt in mount Seir: Esau is Edom.

9 And these are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in mount Seir: 10 these are the names of Esau’s sons: Eliphaz the son of Adah the wife of Esau, Reuel the son of Basemath the wife of Esau. 11 And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenaz. 12 And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz Esau’s son; and she bare to Eliphaz Amalek: these are the sons of Adah, Esau’s wife. 13 And these are the sons of Reuel: Nahath, and Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah: these were the sons of Basemath, Esau’s wife. 14 And these were the sons of Oholibamah the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon, Esau’s wife: and she bare to Esau Jeush, and Jalam, and Korah.

15 These are the chiefs of the sons of Esau: the sons of Eliphaz the first-born of Esau: chief Teman, chief Omar, chief Zepho, chief Kenaz, 16 chief Korah, chief Gatam, chief Amalek: these are the chiefs that came of Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Adah. 17 And these are the sons of Reuel, Esau’s son: chief Nahath, chief Zerah, chief Shammah, chief Mizzah: these are the chiefs that came of Reuel in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Basemath, Esau’s wife. 18 And these are the sons of Oholibamah, Esau’s wife: chief Jeush, chief Jalam, chief Korah: these are the chiefs that came of Oholibamah the daughter of Anah, Esau’s wife. 19 These are the sons of Esau, and these are their chiefs: the same is Edom.

20 These are the sons of Seir the Horite, the inhabitants of the land: Lotan and Shobal and Zibeon and Anah, 21 and Dishon and Ezer and Dishan: these are the chiefs that came of the Horites, the children of Seir in the land of Edom. 22 And the children of Lotan were Hori and Heman; and Lotan’s sister was Timna. 23 And these are the children of Shobal: Alvan and Manahath and Ebal, Shepho and Onam. 24 And these are the children of Zibeon: Aiah and Anah; this is Anah who found the hot springs in the wilderness, as he fed the asses of Zibeon his father. 25 And these are the children of Anah: Dishon and Oholibamah the daughter of Anah. 26 And these are the children of Dishon: Hemdan and Eshban and Ithran and Cheran. 27 These are the children of Ezer: Bilhan and Zaavan and Akan. 28 These are the children of Dishan: Uz and Aran. 29 These are the chiefs that came of the Horites: chief Lotan, chief Shobal, chief Zibeon, chief Anah, 30 chief Dishon, chief Ezer, chief Dishan: these are the chiefs that came of the Horites, according to their chiefs in the land of Seir.

31 And these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before there reigned any king over the children of Israel. 32 And Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom; and the name of his city was Dinhabah. 33 And Bela died, and Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his stead. 34 And Jobab died, and Husham of the land of the Temanites reigned in his stead. 35 And Husham died, and Hadad the son of Bedad, who smote Midian in the field of Moab, reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Avith. 36 And Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his stead. 37 And Samlah died, and Shaul of Rehoboth by the River reigned in his stead. 38 And Shaul died, and Baal-hanan the son of Achbor reigned in his stead. 39 And Baal-hanan the son of Achbor died, and Hadar reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Pau; and his wife’s name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Me-zahab.

40 And these are the names of the chiefs that came of Esau, according to their families, after their places, by their names: chief Timna, chief Alvah, chief Jetheth, 41 chief Oholibamah, chief Elah, chief Pinon, 42 chief Kenaz, chief Teman, chief Mibzar, 43 chief Magdiel, chief Iram: these are the chiefs of Edom, according to their habitations in the land of their possession. This is Esau, the father of the Edomites.

1 São estes os descendentes de Esaú, também chamado de Edom. 2 Esaú casou com duas mulheres do país de Canaã, isto é, com Ada, filha de Elom, o heteu; e com Oolibama, filha de Aná e neta de Zibeão, o heveu. 3 Esaú casou também com Basemate, filha de Ismael e irmã de Nebaiote. 4 Ada foi mãe de Elifaz, Basemate foi mãe de Reuel, 5 e Oolibama foi mãe de Jeús, Jalã e Corá. Esses foram os filhos de Esaú que nasceram quando ele estava morando na terra de Canaã.

6 Depois Esaú foi para outro lugar com as suas mulheres, os seus filhos, as suas filhas e toda a gente da sua casa, separando-se assim do seu irmão Jacó. Esaú levou consigo todas as suas ovelhas e cabras, todo o seu gado e tudo o que havia conseguido no país de Canaã. 7 Esaú saiu dali porque a terra em que ele e Jacó estavam morando era pequena demais para os dois; eles tinham muito gado e por isso não podiam ficar juntos. 8 Portanto, Esaú, também chamado de Edom, foi morar na região montanhosa de Seir.

9 Segue a lista dos descendentes de Esaú, o antepassado dos edomitas, que vivem na região montanhosa de Edom, também chamada de Seir. 10-13 Ada, mulher de Esaú, teve um filho chamado Elifaz; os filhos de Elifaz foram cinco: Temã, Omar, Zefo, Gaetã e Quenaz. Com a sua concubina Timna, Elifaz teve Amaleque.

Basemate, outra mulher de Esaú, teve um filho chamado Reuel; e Reuel foi pai de quatro filhos: Naate, Zera, Sama e Miza.

14 Esaú tinha outra mulher chamada Oolibama, filha de Aná e neta de Zibeão. Os filhos dela foram Jeús, Jalã e Corá.

15 Segue a lista das tribos que descendem de Esaú. De Elifaz, o filho mais velho de Esaú, descendem as seguintes tribos: Temã, Omar, Zefo, Quenaz, 16 Corá, Gaetã e Amaleque. Estes foram descendentes de Ada, mulher de Esaú.

17 De Reuel descendem as seguintes tribos: Naate, Zera, Sama e Miza. Estes foram descendentes de Basemate, outra mulher de Esaú.

18 De Esaú com sua outra mulher chamada Oolibama, filha de Aná, descendem as seguintes tribos: Jeús, Jalã e Corá. 19 Todas essas tribos são descendentes de Esaú.

20,21 As primeiras tribos que moraram na terra de Edom eram descendentes de Lotã, Sobal, Zibeão, Aná, Disom, Eser e Disã, todos eles filhos de Seir, o horeu.

22 Lotã foi o pai dos grupos de famílias de Hori e de Homã. Lotã tinha uma irmã chamada Timna.

23 Sobal foi o antepassado dos grupos de famílias de Alvã, Manaate, Ebal, Sefô e Onã.

24 Zibeão foi pai de dois filhos: Aías e Aná. Este foi o Aná que descobriu as fontes de água quente no deserto, quando estava tomando conta dos jumentos do pai. 25,26 Aná foi o pai de Disom, que foi o pai dos grupos de famílias de Hendã, Esbã, Itrã e Querã. Aná também foi pai de uma filha chamada Oolibama.

27 Eser foi o pai dos grupos de famílias de Bilã, Zaavã e Acã.

28 Disã foi o pai dos grupos de famílias de Uz e Arã.

29,30 São estas, portanto, as tribos dos horeus na terra de Edom: Lotã, Sobal, Zibeão, Aná, Disom, Eser e Disã.

31-39 Os seguintes reis governaram a terra de Edom, um depois do outro, no tempo em que Israel ainda não tinha rei:

Belá, filho de Beor, da cidade de Dinaba.

Jobabe, filho de Zera, de Bosra.

Husã, da região de Temã.

Hadade, filho de Bedade, da cidade de Avite. Ele derrotou os midianitas numa batalha na terra de Moabe.

Samlá, da cidade de Masreca.

Saul, de Reobote-do-Rio-Eufrates.

Baal-Hanã, filho de Acbor.

Hadade, da cidade de Paú (o nome da mulher dele era Meetabel, filha de Matrede e neta de Me-Zaabe).

40-43 De Esaú vieram as seguintes tribos edomitas: Timna, Alva, Jetete, Oolibama, Elá, Pinom, Quenaz, Temã, Mibsar, Magdiel e Irão. A região em que morava cada uma dessas tribos recebeu o nome da sua tribo.
