De afstammelingen van Esau
36 Hier is een lijst van de afstammelingen van Esau (die ook wel Edom werd genoemd):
2 Esau trouwde met drie Kanaänitische meisjes: Ada, de dochter van de Hethiet Elon, Oholibama, de dochter van Ana en kleindochter van de Chiwwiet Sibon, 3 en Basemat, de dochter van Ismaël (dus Esauʼs nicht) en de zuster van Nebajot. 4 Esau en Ada kregen een zoon, Elifaz. Esau en Basemat hadden een zoon met de naam Reüel. 5 Esau en Oholibama hadden drie zonen: Jeüs, Jalam en Korach. Al deze zonen werden geboren in het land Kanaän.
6-8 Toen nam Esau zijn vrouwen, zijn kinderen, zijn hele huishouding, het vee en de kudde—alle bezittingen die hij in Kanaän had vergaard—en trok naar het gebergte Seïr, weg van zijn broer Jakob. Het land was niet groot genoeg om in alle behoeften van hun vee te voorzien.
9 Hier zijn de namen van Esauʼs afstammelingen, de Edomieten die hem in het gebergte Seïr werden geboren:
10-12 Nakomelingen van zijn vrouw Ada, die haar zoon Elifaz kreeg, waren: Teman, Omar, Sefo, Gatam, Kenaz en Amalek (dat was een kind van Timna, de bijvrouw van Elifaz). 13,14 Esau kreeg ook kleinkinderen via zijn vrouw Basemat. Haar zoon Reüel kreeg Nachat, Zerach, Samma en Mizza.
15,16 Esauʼs kleinkinderen werden stamhoofden van de volgende stammen: de stam van Teman, de stam van Omar, de stam van Sefo, de stam van Kenaz, de stam van Korach, de stam van Gaëtam en de stam van Amalek. De bovengenoemde stammen waren nakomelingen van Elifaz, de oudste zoon van Esau en Ada. 17 De volgende stammen waren nakomelingen van Reüel, de zoon die Esau en Basemat kregen in Kanaän: de stam van Nachat, de stam van Zerach, de stam van Samma en de stam van Mizza.
18,19 En dit zijn de stammen die de namen dragen van de zonen van Esau en Oholibama (de dochter van Ana): de stam van Jeüs, de stam van Jalam en de stam van Korach.
20,21 Dit zijn de namen van de stammen die voortkwamen uit Seïr: de stam van Lotan, de stam van Sobal, de stam van Sibon, de stam van Ana, de stam van Dison, de stam van Eser en de stam van Disan.
22 De kinderen van Lotan (de zoon van Seïr) waren Chori en Hemam (Lotan had ook nog een zuster, Timna). 23 De kinderen van Sobal waren Alwan, Manachat, Ebal, Sefo en Onam. 24 De kinderen van Sibon waren Ajja en Ana (deze jongen vond hete bronnen in de woestijn, terwijl hij de ezels van zijn vader hoedde). 25 De kinderen van Ana waren Dison en het meisje Oholibama. 26 De kinderen van Dison waren Chemdan, Esban, Jitran en Keran. 27 De kinderen van Eser waren Bilhan, Zaäwan en Akan. 28-30 De kinderen van Disan waren Us en Aran.
31-39 Dit zijn de namen van de koningen die Edom regeerden voordat Israël haar eerste koning had: koning Bela, de zoon van Beor, regeerde vanuit de stad Dinhaba in Edom. Zijn opvolger was koning Jobab, de zoon van Zerach en deze regeerde in Bosra. Toen Jobab stierf, volgde Chusam uit Teman hem op. Diens opvolger was koning Hadad, de zoon van Bedad, de aanvoerder van de strijdkrachten die het leger van Midjan versloegen toen het Moab binnendrong. Hij woonde in de stad Awit. Zijn opvolger was koning Samla, die regeerde vanuit Masreka. Diens opvolger was koning Saül, die regeerde vanuit Rechobot, aan de rivier. Saüls opvolger was koning Baäl-Chanan, de zoon van Achbor. Diens opvolger was koning Hadar, die regeerde vanuit de stad Paü. Zijn vrouw heette Mehetabel en was de dochter van Matred en kleindochter van Me-Zahab.
40-43 Hier zijn de namen van de onderstammen van Esau. De plaatsen waar zij woonden, werden naar hen genoemd: de stam van Timna, de stam van Alwa, de stam van Jetet, de stam van Oholibama, de stam van Ela, de stam van Pinon, de stam van Kenaz, de stam van Teman, de stam van Mibsar, de stam van Magdiël en de stam van Iram. Dit zijn dus de namen van de onderstammen van Edom die hun namen gaven aan de gebieden die zij bewoonden (het waren allemaal Edomieten, afstammelingen van Esau).
Genesis 36
American Standard Version
36 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 [a]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, [b]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 [c]Heman; and Lotan’s sister was Timna. 23 And these are the children of Shobal: [d]Alvan and Manahath and Ebal, [e]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 [f]Dishon: [g]Hemdan and Eshban and Ithran and Cheran. 27 These are the children of Ezer: Bilhan and Zaavan and [h]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 [i]Hadar reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was [j]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 [k]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 [l]the Edomites.
