Esau Moves

36 Now these are the records of the generations of (A)Esau (that is, Edom).

Esau (B)took his wives from the daughters of Canaan: Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and (C)Oholibamah the daughter of Anah, the [a](D)granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite; also Basemath, Ishmael’s daughter, the sister of Nebaioth. Adah bore (E)Eliphaz to Esau, and Basemath gave birth to Reuel, and Oholibamah gave birth to Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. These are the sons of Esau who were born to him in the land of Canaan.

(F)Then Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters, and all [b]his household, and his livestock and all his cattle, and all his property which he had acquired in the land of Canaan, and went to another land away from his brother Jacob. (G)For their possessions had become too great for them to live together, and the (H)land where they (I)resided could not support them because of their livestock. So Esau lived in the hill country of (J)Seir; Esau is (K)Edom.

Descendants of Esau

These then are the records of the generations of Esau the father of [c]the Edomites in the hill country of Seir. 10 These are the names of Esau’s sons: Eliphaz the son of Esau’s wife Adah, and Reuel the son of Esau’s wife Basemath. 11 The sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, [d]Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz. 12 Timna was a concubine of Esau’s son Eliphaz, and she bore (L)Amalek to Eliphaz. These are the sons of Esau’s wife Adah. 13 And these are the sons of Reuel: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. These were the sons of Esau’s wife Basemath. 14 And these were the sons of Esau’s wife Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah, the [e]granddaughter of Zibeon: [f]she bore to Esau Jeush, Jalam, and Korah.

15 These are the chiefs of the sons of Esau. The sons of Eliphaz, the firstborn of Esau, are chief Teman, chief Omar, chief Zepho, chief Kenaz, 16 chief Korah, chief Gatam, and chief Amalek. These are the chiefs [g]descended from 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, and chief Mizzah. These are the chiefs [h]descended from Reuel in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Esau’s wife Basemath. 18 And these are the sons of Esau’s wife Oholibamah: chief Jeush, chief Jalam, and chief Korah. These are the chiefs [i]descended from Esau’s wife Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah. 19 These are the sons of Esau (that is, Edom), and these are their chiefs.

20 These are the sons of Seir (M)the Horite, the inhabitants of the land: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, 21 Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan. These are the chiefs [j]descended from the Horites, the sons of Seir in the land of Edom. 22 And the sons of Lotan were Hori and [k]Hemam; and Lotan’s sister was Timna. 23 And these are the sons of Shobal: [l]Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, [m]Shepho, and Onam. 24 And these are the sons of Zibeon: Aiah and Anah—he is the Anah who found the hot springs in the wilderness when he was pasturing the donkeys of his father Zibeon. 25 And these are the children of Anah: Dishon, and Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah. 26 And these are the sons of [n](N)Dishon: [o]Hemdan, Eshban, Ithran, and Cheran. 27 These are the sons of Ezer: Bilhan, Zaavan, and [p]Akan. 28 These are the sons of Dishan: Uz and Aran. 29 These are the chiefs [q]descended from the Horites: chief Lotan, chief Shobal, chief Zibeon, chief Anah, 30 chief Dishon, chief Ezer, and chief Dishan. These are the chiefs [r]descended from the Horites, according to their various chiefs in the land of Seir.

31 Now these are the kings who reigned in the land of Edom before any (O)king reigned over the sons of Israel. 32 [s](P)Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom, and the name of his city was Dinhabah. 33 Then Bela died, and Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah became king in his place. 34 Then Jobab died, and Husham of the land of the Temanites became king in his place. 35 Then Husham died, and Hadad the son of Bedad, who [t]defeated Midian in the field of Moab, became king in his place; and the name of his city was Avith. 36 Then Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah became king in his place. 37 Then Samlah died, and Shaul of Rehoboth on the Euphrates River became king in his place. 38 Then Shaul died, and Baal-hanan the son of Achbor became king in his place. 39 Then Baal-hanan the son of Achbor died, and [u]Hadar became king in his place; and the name of his city was [v]Pau; and his wife’s name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, daughter of Mezahab.

40 Now these are the names of the chiefs [w]descended from Esau, according to their families and their localities, by their names: chief Timna, chief [x]Alvah, chief Jetheth, 41 chief Oholibamah, chief Elah, chief Pinon, 42 chief Kenaz, chief Teman, chief Mibzar, 43 chief Magdiel, and chief Iram. These are the chiefs of Edom (that is, Esau, the father of [y]the Edomites), according to their settlements in the land of their possession.

36 Questa è la discendenza di Esaú, che è Edom.

Esaú prese le sue mogli tra le figlie dei Cananei: Ada, figlia di Elon, lo Hitteo, e Oholibamah, figlia di Anah, figlia di Tsibeon, lo Hivveo;

e Basemath, figlia di Ismaele, sorella di Nebajoth.

Ada partorì ad Esaú, Elifaz;

Basemath partorì Reuel; e Oholibamah partorì Jeush, Jalam e Korah. Questi sono i figli di Esaú che gli nacquero nel paese di Canaan.

Poi Esaú prese le sue mogli, i suoi figli, le sue figlie, tutte le persone della sua casa, le sue greggi, tutto il suo bestiame e tutti i suoi beni che aveva acquistato nel paese di Canaan, e se ne andò in un paese, lontano da Giacobbe suo fratello,

poiché i loro possedimenti erano troppo grandi perché essi potessero dimorare assieme; il paese nel quale soggiornavano non era in grado di sostenerli, a motivo del loro bestiame.

Così Esaú si stabilì sulla montagna di Seir; Esaú a Edom.

Questa è la discendenza di Esaú, padre degli Edomiti, sul monte Seir.

10 Questi sono i nomi dei figli di Esaú: Elifaz, figlio di Ada, moglie di Esaú; Reuel, figlio di Basemath, moglie di Esaú.

11 I figli di Elifaz furono: Teman, Omar, Tsefo, Gatam e Kenaz.

12 Or Timna era la concubina di Elifaz, figlio di Esaú; ella partorì ad Elifaz, Amalek. Questi furono i figli di Ada, moglie di Esaú.

13 Questi furono i figli di Reuel: Nahath e Zerah, Shammah e Mizzah. Questi furono i figli di Basemath, moglie di Esaú.

14 Questi furono i figli di Oholibamah, figlia di Anah, figlia di Tsibeon, moglie di Esaú; ella partorì a Esaú: Jeush, Jalam e Korah.

15 Questi furono i capi dei figli di Esaú: i figli di Elifaz, primogenito di Esaú: il capo Teman, il capo Omar, il capo Tsefo, il capo Kenaz,

16 il capo Korah, il capo Gatam e il capo Amalek; questi furono i capi discesi da Elifaz, nel paese di Edom; essi furono i figli di Ada.

17 Questi furono i figli di Reuel, figlio di Esaú: il capo Nahath, il capo Zerah, il capo Shammah e il capo Mizzah; questi furono i capi discesi da Reuel, nel paese di Edom; essi furono i figli di Basemath, moglie di Esaú.

18 Questi furono i figli di Oholibamah, moglie di Esaú; il capo Jeush, il capo Jalam e il capo Korah; essi furono i capi discesi da Oholibamah, figlia di Anah, moglie di Esaú.

19 Questi furono i figli di Esaú, che è Edom, e questi furono i loro capi.

20 Questi furono i figli di Seir, lo Horeo, che abitavano il paese: Lotan, Shobal, Tsibeon, Anah,

21 Dishon, Etser e Dishan. Questi, furono i capi degli Horei, figli di Seir, nel paese di Edom.

22 I figli di Lotan furono: Hori e Hemam; e la sorella di Lotan fu Timna.

23 Questi furono i figli di Shobal: Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Scefo e Onam.

24 Questi furono i figli di Tsibeon: Aja e Anah. Questo è l'Anah che trovò le acque calde nel deserto, mentre pascolava gli asini di Tsibeon suo padre.

25 Questi furono i figli di Anah: Dishon e Oholibamah, figlia di Anah.

26 Questi furono i figli di Dishon: Hemdan, Eshban, Ithran e keran.

27 Questi furono i figli di Etser; Bilhan, Zaavan e Akan.

28 Questi furono i figli di Dishan; Uts e Aran.

29 Questi furono i capi degli Horei: il capo Lothan, il capo Shobal, il capo Tsibeon, il capo Anah,

30 il capo Dishon, il capo Etser, il capo Dishan. Questi furono i capi degli Horei, i capi che essi ebbero nel paese di Seir.

31 Questi furono i re che regnarono nel paese di Edom, prima che alcun re regnasse sui figli d'Israele:

32 Bela, figlio di Beor, regnò in Edom, e il nome della sua città fu Dinhabah.

33 Bela morì, e al suo posto regnò Jobab, figlio di Zerah, da Botsrah.

34 Jobab morì, e al suo posto regnò Husham, del paese dei Temaniti.

35 Husham morì, e al suo posto regnò Hadad, figlio di Bedad, che sconfisse i Madianiti nei campi di Moab; e il nome della sua città fu Avith.

36 Hadad morì, e al suo posto regnò Samlah, da Masrekah.

37 Samlah morì, e al suo posto regnò Saul di Rehoboth sul Fiume.

38 Saul morì, e al suo posto regnò Baal-Hanan, figlio di Akbor.

39 Baal-Hanan, figlio di Akbor, morì e al suo posto regnò Hadar. Il nome della sua città fu Pau, e il nome di sua moglie, Mehetabel, figlia di Matred, figlia di Mezahab.

40 Questi furono i nomi dei capi di Esaú, secondo le loro famiglie, secondo i loro territori, coi loro nomi: il capo Timnah, il capo Alvah, il capo Jetheth,

41 Il capo Oholibamah, il capo Elah, il capo Pinon,

42 il capo Kenaz, il capo Teman, il capo Mibtsar,

43 il capo Magdiel e il capo Iram. Questi furono i capi di Edom secondo le loro dimore, nel paese che possedevano. Questi fu Esaú, il padre degli Edomiti.

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

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;

And Bashemath Ishmael's daughter, sister of Nebajoth.

And Adah bare to Esau Eliphaz; and Bashemath bare Reuel;

And Aholibamah bare Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah: these are the sons of Esau, which were born unto him in the land of Canaan.

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.

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.

Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau is Edom.

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 Baalhanan the son of Achbor reigned in his stead.

39 And Baalhanan 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.
