Genesis 36 GOD’S WORD Translation (GW)The Origin of Edom36 This is the account of Esau (that is, Edom) and his descendants. 2 Esau chose his wives from the women of Canaan: Adah, daughter of Elon the Hittite; Oholibamah, daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite; 3 also Basemath, daughter of Ishmael and sister of Nebaioth. 4 Adah gave birth to Eliphaz for Esau, and Basemath gave birth to Reuel. 5 Oholibamah gave birth to Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. These were the sons of Esau who were born in Canaan. 6 Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters, all the members of his household, his possessions, all his cattle, and everything he had accumulated in Canaan and went to another land away from his brother Jacob. 7 He did this because they had too many possessions to live together. There wasn’t enough pastureland for all of their livestock. 8 So Esau, who was also known as Edom, lived in the mountains of Seir. 9 This is the account of Esau and his descendants. He was the father of the people of Edom in the mountains of Seir. 10 These were the names of Esau’s sons: 15 These were the tribal leaders among Esau’s descendants: 31 These were the kings who ruled Edom before any king ruled the people of Israel: 40 These were the names of the tribal leaders descended from Esau, by family, place, and name: These were the tribal leaders of Edom listed by the places where they lived and the property they owned. Esau was the father of the people of Edom. Footnotes:
