1 Esta é a lista dos descendentes de Esaú também chamado Edom.

2 Esaú casou com três raparigas da terra em que morava, Canaã: Ada, filha de Elom, o hitita, Aolibama, filha de Aná e neta de Zibeão, o heveu, e 3 Basemate, sua prima, porque era filha de Ismael e irmã de Nabaiote.

4 Ada deu-lhe um filho chamado Elifaz e Basemate um outro de nome Reuel. 5 De Aolibama teve Jeús, Jalam e Coré. Todos estes lhe nasceram em Canaã.

6-8 Um dia, pegou nas suas mulheres e nos seus filhos e em toda a gente que vivia ao seu serviço, assim como o gado e rebanhos que adquirira em Canaã, e foi para longe do seu irmão Jacob, para o monte de Seir. Porque a terra era pequena para poderem viver juntos com todo o gado que tinham.

9 Estes são os seus descendentes, os edomitas que lhe nasceram no monte de Seir.

10-16 Por parte de Elifaz, filho da sua mulher Ada: Temã, Omar, Zefô, Gaetã, Quenaz e ainda Amaleque, este último, filho de Elifaz e da sua concubina Timna.
