Genèse 36

La Bible du Semeur



1 Voici la généalogie d’Esaü appelé aussi Edom. 2 Esaü prit des femmes cananéennes pour épouses: Ada, fille d’Elôn le Hittite; Oholibama, fille d’Ana, fille de Tsibeôn le Hévien, 3 ainsi que Basmath, fille d’Ismaël et sœur de Nebayoth. 4 Ada lui donna Eliphaz; et Basmath, Reouel; 5 Oholibama accoucha de Yeoush, Yaelam et Qorah. Tels sont les fils d’Esaü qui lui naquirent au pays de Canaan. 6 Esaü emmena ses femmes, ses fils et ses filles et tous les gens attachés à sa maison ainsi que ses troupeaux, son bétail et tous les biens qu’il avait acquis au pays de Canaan, et il émigra dans un autre pays, loin de Jacob, son frère. 7 Car leurs troupeaux étaient trop nombreux pour qu’ils puissent demeurer ensemble, et le pays où ils séjournaient ne pouvait plus subvenir à leurs besoins à cause de l’importance de leurs troupeaux. 8 Ainsi, Esaü s’établit dans la montagne de Séir. Esaü, c’est Edom. 



9 Voici la généalogie d’Esaü, l’ancêtre d’Edom, dans la montagne de Séir. 10 Noms des fils d’Esaü: Eliphaz, fils d’Ada, épouse d’Esaü; Reouel, fils de Basmath, épouse d’Esaü. 11 Eliphaz eut pour fils: Témân, Omar, Tsepho, Gaetam et Qenaz. 12 L’épouse de second rang d’Eliphaz, Timna, lui donna Amalec. Ce sont là les fils d’Ada, femme d’Esaü. 13 Et voici les fils de Reouel: Nahath, Zérah, Shamma et Mizza. Tels sont les fils de Basmath, femme d’Esaü. 14 Oholibama, fille d’Ana, fille de Tsibeôn, femme d’Esaü, lui donna Yeoush, Yaelam et Qorah. 



15 Voici les chefs des familles des fils d’Esaü. Fils d’Eliphaz, premier-né d’Esaü: les chefs Témân, Omar, Tsepho, Qenaz, 16 Qorah[1], Gaetam et Amalec. Tels sont les chefs de la famille d’Eliphaz, fils d’Ada, au pays d’Edom. (Gn 36:11) 17 Voici les fils de Reouel, fils d’Esaü: les chefs Nahath, Zérah, Shamma et Mizza. Tels sont les chefs de la famille de Reouel, fils de Basmath, au pays d’Edom. 18 Voici les fils d’Oholibama, femme d’Esaü: les chefs Yeoush, Yaelam et Qorah. Tels sont les chefs de la famille d’Oholibama fille d’Ana et femme d’Esaü. 19 Ce sont là les fils d’Esaü, les chefs de familles: c’est Edom. 



20 Voici les descendants de Séir, le Horien[2], premiers habitants du pays: Lotân, Shobal, Tsibeôn, Ana, (Dt 2:12; Dt 2:22) 21 Dishôn, Etser et Dishân. Tels sont les chefs des familles des Horiens, fils de Séir, au pays d’Edom. 22 Les fils de Lotân sont Hori et Hémam. La sœur de Lotân s’appelait Timna. 23 Et voici les fils de Shobal: Alvân, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho et Onam. 24 Et voici les fils de Tsibeôn: Aya et Ana. C’est Ana qui trouva de l’eau[3] dans le désert quand il faisait paître les ânes de son père Tsibeôn. 25 Voici les enfants d’Ana: son fils Dishôn et sa fille Oholibama. 26 Voici les fils de Dishân: Hemdân, Eshbân, Yitrân et Kerân. 27 Voici les fils d’Etser: Bilhân, Zaavân et Aqân. 28 Voici les fils de Dishân: Outs et Arân. 29 Voici les chefs des familles des Horiens; les chefs Lotân, Shobal, Tsibeôn, Ana, 30 Dishôn, Etser et Dishân. Ce sont eux qui étaient les chefs des familles des Horiens au pays de Séir. 



31 Voici les rois qui ont régné dans le pays d’Edom avant qu’il y ait des rois en Israël[4]: 32 Béla, fils de Béor, régna sur Edom, sa ville s’appelait Dinhaba. 33 Après sa mort, Yobab, fils de Zérah, de Botsra, régna à sa place. 34 Yobab mourut et Housham, du pays des Témanites, régna à sa place. 35 Après la mort de Housham, Hadad, fils de Bedad, régna à sa place. Il battit les Madianites dans la campagne de Moab; il venait de la ville d’Avith. 36 Après la mort de Hadad, Samla de Masréqa régna à sa place. 37 Après la mort de Samla, Saül, de Rehoboth sur le fleuve, régna à sa place. 38 Après la mort de Saül, Baal-Hanân, fils d’Akbor, régna à sa place. 39 Après la mort de Baal-Hanân, fils d’Akbor, Hadar régna à sa place. Sa ville s’appelait Paou. Sa femme était Mehétabéel, fille de Matred et petite-fille de Mézahab. 



40 Voici les noms des chefs des familles d’Esaü, selon leurs localités et d’après leurs noms: les chefs Timna, Alva, Yeteth, 41 Oholibama, Ela, Pinôn, 42 Qenaz, Témân, Mibtsar, 43 Magdiel et Iram. Tels sont les chefs d’Edom selon leurs régions au pays qu’ils occupent. Voilà pour Esaü, l’ancêtre d’Edom.

Genèse 36

English Standard Version



1 These are the generations of Esau (that is, Edom). (Gn 25:30) 2 Esau took his wives from the Canaanites: Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, Oholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter[1] of Zibeon the Hivite, (Gn 26:34; Gn 36:14; Gn 36:18; Gn 36:25) 3 and Basemath, Ishmael’s daughter, the sister of Nebaioth. (Gn 28:9) 4 And Adah bore to Esau, Eliphaz; Basemath bore Reuel; (Gn 36:10; 1Ch 1:35) 5 and Oholibamah bore Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. These are the sons of Esau who were born to him in the land of Canaan. 6 Then Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters, and all the members of his household, his livestock, all his beasts, and all his property that he had acquired in the land of Canaan. He went into a land away from his brother Jacob. 7 For their possessions were too great for them to dwell together. The land of their sojournings could not support them because of their livestock. (Gn 13:6; Gn 17:8; Gn 23:4; Gn 28:4; Gn 37:1; He 11:9) 8 So Esau settled in the hill country of Seir. (Esau is Edom.) (Gn 32:3; Gn 36:1; Gn 36:19) 9 These are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in the hill country of Seir. (Gn 36:43) 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. (Gn 36:4) 11 The sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz. 12 (Timna was a concubine of Eliphaz, Esau’s son; she bore Amalek to Eliphaz.) These are the sons of Adah, Esau’s wife. (Nb 24:20; 1S 15:2) 13 These are the sons of Reuel: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. These are the sons of Basemath, Esau’s wife. 14 These are the sons of Oholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon, Esau’s wife: she bore to Esau Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. (Gn 36:2) 15 These are the chiefs of the sons of Esau. The sons of Eliphaz the firstborn of Esau: the chiefs Teman, Omar, Zepho, Kenaz, (Gn 36:11; Ex 15:15) 16 Korah, Gatam, and Amalek; these are the chiefs of Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Adah. 17 These are the sons of Reuel, Esau’s son: the chiefs Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah; these are the chiefs of Reuel in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Basemath, Esau’s wife. (Gn 36:13) 18 These are the sons of Oholibamah, Esau’s wife: the chiefs Jeush, Jalam, and Korah; these are the chiefs born of Oholibamah the daughter of Anah, Esau’s wife. (Gn 36:14) 19 These are the sons of Esau (that is, Edom), and these are their chiefs. (Gn 36:1; Gn 36:8) 20 These are the sons of Seir the Horite, the inhabitants of the land: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, (Gn 14:6; Dt 2:12; Dt 2:22; 1Ch 1:38) 21 Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan; these are the chiefs of the Horites, the sons of Seir in the land of Edom. 22 The sons of Lotan were Hori and Hemam; and Lotan’s sister was Timna. 23 These are the sons of Shobal: Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho, and Onam. 24 These are the sons of Zibeon: Aiah and Anah; he is the Anah who found the hot springs in the wilderness, as he pastured the donkeys of Zibeon his father. 25 These are the children of Anah: Dishon and Oholibamah the daughter of Anah. (Gn 36:2) 26 These are the sons of Dishon: Hemdan, Eshban, Ithran, and Cheran. 27 These are the sons of Ezer: Bilhan, Zaavan, and Akan. 28 These are the sons of Dishan: Uz and Aran. 29 These are the chiefs of the Horites: the chiefs Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, (Gn 36:20) 30 Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan; these are the chiefs of the Horites, chief by chief in the land of Seir. 31 These are the kings who reigned in the land of Edom, before any king reigned over the Israelites. (1Ch 1:43) 32 Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom, the name of his city being Dinhabah. 33 Bela died, and Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his place. 34 Jobab died, and Husham of the land of the Temanites reigned in his place. 35 Husham died, and Hadad the son of Bedad, who defeated Midian in the country of Moab, reigned in his place, the name of his city being Avith. 36 Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his place. 37 Samlah died, and Shaul of Rehoboth on the Euphrates[2] reigned in his place. (Gn 26:22) 38 Shaul died, and Baal-hanan the son of Achbor reigned in his place. 39 Baal-hanan the son of Achbor died, and Hadar reigned in his place, the name of his city being Pau; his wife’s name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, daughter of Mezahab. 40 These are the names of the chiefs of Esau, according to their clans and their dwelling places, by their names: the chiefs Timna, Alvah, Jetheth, 41 Oholibamah, Elah, Pinon, (Nb 33:42) 42 Kenaz, Teman, Mibzar, 43 Magdiel, and Iram; these are the chiefs of Edom (that is, Esau, the father of Edom), according to their dwelling places in the land of their possession. (Gn 36:9)
