1 Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom. 2 Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite; 3 And Bashemath Ishmael’s daughter, sister of Nebajoth. 4 And Adah bare to Esau Eliphaz; and Bashemath bare Reuel; 5 And Aholibamah bare Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah: these are the sons of Esau, which were born unto him in the land of Canaan. 6 And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the persons of his house, and his cattle, and all his beasts, and all his substance, which he had got in the land of Canaan; and went into the country from the face of his brother Jacob. 7 For their riches were more than that they might dwell together; and the land wherein they were strangers could not bear them because of their cattle. 8 Thus dwelt Esau 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 Bashemath 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 were 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 Bashemath Esau’s wife.

14 And these were the sons of Aholibamah, the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon, Esau’s wife: and she bare to Esau Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah.

15 These were dukes of the sons of Esau: the sons of Eliphaz the firstborn son of Esau; duke Teman, duke Omar, duke Zepho, duke Kenaz, 16 Duke Korah, duke Gatam, and duke Amalek: these are the dukes that came of Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these were the sons of Adah.

17 And these are the sons of Reuel Esau’s son; duke Nahath, duke Zerah, duke Shammah, duke Mizzah: these are the dukes that came of Reuel in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Bashemath Esau’s wife.

18 And these are the sons of Aholibamah Esau’s wife; duke Jeush, duke Jaalam, duke Korah: these were the dukes that came of Aholibamah the daughter of Anah, Esau’s wife. 19 These are the sons of Esau, who is Edom, and these are their dukes.

20 These are the sons of Seir the Horite, who inhabited the land; Lotan, and Shobal, and Zibeon, and Anah, 21 And Dishon, and Ezer, and Dishan: these are the dukes of the Horites, the children of Seir in the land of Edom. 22 And the children of Lotan were Hori and Hemam; and Lotan’s sister was Timna. 23 And the children of Shobal were these; Alvan, and Manahath, and Ebal, Shepho, and Onam. 24 And these are the children of Zibeon; both Ajah, and Anah: this was that Anah that found the mules in the wilderness, as he fed the asses of Zibeon his father. 25 And the children of Anah were these; Dishon, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah. 26 And these are the children of Dishon; Hemdan, and Eshban, and Ithran, and Cheran. 27 The children of Ezer are these; Bilhan, and Zaavan, and Akan. 28 The children of Dishan are these; Uz, and Aran. 29 These are the dukes that came of the Horites; duke Lotan, duke Shobal, duke Zibeon, duke Anah, 30 Duke Dishon, duke Ezer, duke Dishan: these are the dukes that came of Hori, among their dukes 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 Temani 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 Saul of Rehoboth by the river reigned in his stead. 38 And Saul 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 Mezahab. 40 And these are the names of the dukes that came of Esau, according to their families, after their places, by their names; duke Timnah, duke Alvah, duke Jetheth, 41 Duke Aholibamah, duke Elah, duke Pinon, 42 Duke Kenaz, duke Teman, duke Mibzar, 43 Duke Magdiel, duke Iram: these be the dukes of Edom, according to their habitations in the land of their possession: he is Esau the father of the Edomites.

1 Dette er Esaus eller Edoms ætt.

2 Esau tok sig hustruer av Kana'ans døtre: Ada, hetitten Elons datter, og Oholibama, Anas datter, hevitten Sibeons sønnedatter,

3 og Basmat, Ismaels datter, Nebajots søster.

4 Med Ada fikk Esau Elifas, og med Basmat Re'uel,

5 og med Oholibama fikk han Je'us og Jalam og Korah; dette var Esaus sønner, som han fikk i Kana'ans land.

6 Og Esau tok sine hustruer, sine sønner og døtre og alt sitt husfolk og sin buskap og alle sine kløvdyr og alt sitt gods som han hadde samlet i Kana'ans land, og drog til et annet land for sin bror Jakobs skyld.

7 For deres eiendom var for stor til at de kunde bo sammen - det land som de bodde i som fremmede, kunde ikke rumme dem, så stor buskap hadde de.

8 Så bosatte Esau sig i Se'ir-fjellene - Esau, det er den samme som Edom.

9 Og dette er Esaus ætt i Se'irfjellene, han som var stamfar til edomittene.

10 Dette er navnene på Esaus sønner: Elifas, sønn av Esaus hustru Ada, og Re'uel, sønn av Esaus hustru Basmat.

11 Og Elifas' sønner var Teman, Omar, Sefo, Gatam og Kenas.

15 Dette var stammefyrstene for Esaus barn: Sønnene til Esaus eldste sønn Elifas var stammefyrsten Teman, stammefyrsten Omar, stammefyrsten Sefo, stammefyrsten Kenas,

16 stammefyrsten Korah, stammefyrsten Gatam, stammefyrsten Amalek; dette var de stammefyrster som nedstammet fra Elifas i Edom-landet. Dette var Adas sønner.

19 Dette var Esaus sønner, og dette deres stammefyrster. Dette var Edom.

20 Dette var horitten Se'irs sønner, som bodde i landet: Lotan og Sobal og Sibeon og Ana

21 og Dison og Eser og Disan; dette var horittenes stammefyrster, Se'irs sønner i Edom-landet.

22 Og Lotans sønner var Hori og Hemam, og Lotans søster var Timna.

23 Og dette var Sobals sønner: Alvan og Manahat og Ebal, Sefo og Onam.

26 Og dette var Disons sønner: Hemdan og Esban og Jitran og Keran.

30 stammefyrsten Dison, stammefyrsten Eser, stammefyrsten Disan; dette var horittenes stammefyrster, deres stammefyrster i Se'ir-landet.

31 Og dette var de konger som regjerte i Edom-landet før det regjerte nogen konge over Israels barn:

32 Bela, Beors sønn, var konge i Edom, og hans by hette Dinhaba.

33 Da Bela døde, blev Jobab, Serahs sønn, fra Bosra konge i hans sted.

34 Da Jobab døde, blev Husam fra temanittenes land konge i hans sted.

35 Da Husam døde, blev Hadad, Bedads sønn, konge i hans sted; det var han som slo midianittene på Moabs mark; hans by hette Avit.

36 Da Hadad døde, blev Samla fra Masreka konge i hans sted.

37 Da Samla døde, blev Saul fra Rehobot ved elven konge i hans sted.

38 Da Saul døde, blev Ba'al-Hanan, Akbors sønn, konge i hans sted.

39 Da Ba'al-Hanan, Akbors sønn, døde, blev Hadar konge i hans sted; hans by hette Pa'u, og hans hustru hette Mehetabel, en datter av Matred, Mesahabs datter.
