1 Now these are the generations of Esau, that is to say, Edom.

2 Esau's wives were women 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, the sister of Nebaioth.

4 Adah had a son Eliphaz; and Basemath was the mother of Reuel;

5 Oholibamah was the mother of Jeush, Jalam, and Korah; these are the sons of Esau, whose birth took place in the land of Canaan.

6 Esau took his wives and his sons and his daughters, and all the people of his house, and his beasts and his cattle and all his goods which he had got together in the land of Canaan, and went into the land of Seir, away from his brother Jacob.

7 For their wealth was so great that the land was not wide enough for the two of them and all their cattle.

8 So Esau made his living-place in the hill-country of Seir (Esau is Edom).

9 And these are the generations of Esau, the father of 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, Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz.

12 And Eliphaz, the son of Esau, had connection with a woman named Timna, who gave birth to Amalek: all these were the children of Esau's wife Adah.

13 And these are the sons of Reuel: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah: they were the children of Esau's wife Basemath.

14 And these are the sons of Esau's wife Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon: she was the mother of Jeush, Jalam, and Korah.

15 These were the chiefs among the sons of Esau: the sons of Eliphaz, Esau's first son: Teman, Omar, Zepho, Kenaz,

16 Korah, Gatam, Amalek: all these were chiefs in the land of Edom, the offspring of Eliphaz, the seed of Adah.

17 And these are the sons of Esau's son Reuel: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, Mizzah: these were the chiefs of Reuel in the land of Edom, the children of Esau's wife Basemath.

18 And these are the sons of Esau's wife Oholibamah: Jeush, Jalam, and Korah: these were the chiefs who came from Esau's wife Oholibamah, daughter of Anah.

19 These were the sons of Esau (that is, Edom), and these were their chiefs.

20 These are the sons of Seir the Horite who were living in that country; Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah,

21 Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan: these are the chiefs of the Horites, offspring of Seir in the land of Edom.

22 The children of Lotan were Hori and Hemam; Lotan's sister was Timna.

23 And these are the children of Shobal: Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho, and Onam.

24 And these are the children of Zibeon: Aiah and Anah; that same Anah who made the discovery of the water-springs in the waste land, when he was looking after the asses of his father Zibeon.

25 And these are the children of Anah: Dishon and Oholibamah his daughter.

26 These are the children of Dishon: Hemdan, Eshban, Ithran, and Keran.

27 These are the children of Ezer: Bilhan, Zaavan, and Akan.

28 These are the children of Dishan: Uz and Aran.

29 These were the Horite chiefs: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah,

30 Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan. Such were the Horite chiefs in their order in the land of Seir.

31 And these are the kings who were ruling in the land of Edom before there was any king over the children of Israel.

32 Bela, son of Beor, was king in Edom, and the name of his chief town was Dinhabah.

33 At his death, Jobab, son of Zerah of Bozrah, became king in his place.

34 And at the death of Jobab, Husham, from the country of the Temanites, became king in his place.

35 And at the death of Husham, Hadad, son of Bedad, who overcame the Midianites in the field of Moab, became king; his chief town was named Avith.

36 And at the death of Hadad, Samlah of Masrekah became king.

37 And at the death of Samlah, Shaul of Rehoboth by the River became king in his place.

38 And at the death of Shaul, Baal-hanan, son of Achbor, became king.

39 And at the death of Baal-hanan, Hadar became king in his place; his chief town was named Pau, and his wife's name was Mehetabel; she was the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Me-zahab.

40 These are the names of the chiefs of Esau in the order of their families and their places: Timna, Alvah, Jetheth,

41 Oholibamah, Elah, Pinon,

42 Kenaz, Teman, Mibzar,

43 Magdiel, Iram; these are the Edomite chiefs, in their places in their heritage; this 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.

12 Og Elifas, Esaus sønn, hadde en medhustru som hette Timna, og med henne fikk Elifas Amalek. Dette var Esaus hustru Adas sønner.

13 Og dette var Re'uels sønner: Nahat og Serah, Samma og Missa. Dette var Esaus hustru Basmats sønner.

14 Og dette var sønnene til Oholibama, Anas datter, Sibeons sønnedatter, Esaus hustru: Med henne fikk Esau Je'us og Jalam og Korah.

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.

17 Og dette var sønnene til Esaus sønn Re'uel: stammefyrsten Nahat, stammefyrsten Serah, stammefyrsten Samma, stammefyrsten Missa, dette var de stammefyrster som nedstammet fra Re'uel i Edom-landet. Dette var Esaus hustru Basmats sønner.

18 Og dette var Esaus hustru Oholibamas sønner: stammefyrsten Je'usj stammefyrsten Jalam, stammefyrsten Korah; dette var de stammefyrster som nedstammet fra Oholibama, Anas datter, Esaus hustru.

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.

24 Og dette var Sibeons sønner: Aja og Ana; det var den Ana som fant de varme kilder i ørkenen, mens han gjætte sin far Sibeons asener.

25 Og dette var Anas barn: Dison og datteren Oholibama.

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

27 Dette var Esers sønner: Bilhan og Sa'avan og Akan.

28 Dette var Disans sønner: Us og Aran.

29 Dette var horittenes stammefyrster: stammefyrsten Lotan, stammefyrsten Sobal, stammefyrsten Sibeon, stammefyrsten Ana,

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.

40 Og dette er navnene på Esaus stammefyrster efter deres ætter, efter deres bosteder, med deres navn: stammefyrsten Timna, stammefyrsten Alva, stammefyrsten Jetet,

41 stammefyrsten Oholibama, stammefyrsten Ela, stammefyrsten Pinon,

42 stammefyrsten Kenas, stammefyrsten Teman, stammefyrsten Mibsar,

43 stammefyrsten Magdiel, stammefyrsten Iram; dette var Edoms stammefyrster efter sine bosteder i sitt eiendomsland. Dette var Esaus, edomittenes fars ætt.
