Genesis 36

English Standard Version

Esau’s Descendants

1 These are the generations of Esau (that is, Edom). (Ge 25:30) 

2 Esau took his wives from the Canaanites: Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, Oholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite, (Ge 26:34; Ge 36:14; Ge 36:18; Ge 36:25) 

3 and Basemath, Ishmael’s daughter, the sister of Nebaioth. (Ge 28:9) 

4 And Adah bore to Esau, Eliphaz; Basemath bore Reuel; (Ge 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. (Ge 13:6; Ge 17:8; Ge 23:4; Ge 28:4; Ge 37:1; Heb 11:9) 

8 So Esau settled in the hill country of Seir. (Esau is Edom.) (Ge 32:3; Ge 36:1; Ge 36:19) 

9 These are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in the hill country of Seir. (Ge 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. (Ge 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. (Nu 24:20; 1Sa 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. (Ge 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, (Ge 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. (Ge 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. (Ge 36:14) 

19 These are the sons of Esau (that is, Edom), and these are their chiefs. (Ge 36:1; Ge 36:8) 

20 These are the sons of Seir the Horite, the inhabitants of the land: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, (Ge 14:6; De 2:12; De 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. (Ge 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.

Genesis 36

Hoffnung für alle

Esaus Nachkommen

1 Es folgt der Stammbaum von Esau, der auch Edom genannt wurde: 

2-3 Er hatte drei Frauen aus Kanaan geheiratet: Ada, eine Tochter des Hetiters Elon; Oholibama, eine Tochter Anas und Enkelin des Horiters Zibon, und Basemat, eine Tochter Ismaels und Schwester Nebajots. 

4 Von Ada hatte er einen Sohn mit Namen Elifas; von Basemat stammte Reguël, 

5 und mit Oholibama zeugte er Jëusch, Jalam und Korach. Alle wurden im Land Kanaan geboren. 

6 Später verließ Esau das Land. Seine Frauen, Kinder und alle, die zu ihm gehörten, nahm er mit; dazu seine Viehherden und den Besitz, den er in Kanaan erworben hatte. Er zog in das Land Seïr, fort von seinem Bruder Jakob. 

7 Sie besaßen beide so große Viehherden, dass es im Land Kanaan nicht genug Weidefläche für sie gab. 

8 Deshalb ließ sich Esau, der Stammvater der Edomiter, im Bergland Seïr nieder. 

9 Dies ist die Liste der Nachkommen von Esau; es sind die Edomiter, die im Land Seïr leben. 

10 Die Söhne Esaus: Von seinen beiden Frauen Ada und Basemat hatte Esau je einen Sohn; Ada brachte Elifas zur Welt und Basemat Reguël. 

11 Elifas’ Söhne waren Teman, Omar, Zefo, Gatam, Kenas 

12 und Amalek. Amalek war der Sohn von Elifas’ Nebenfrau Timna. 

13 Reguël hatte vier Söhne: Nahat, Serach, Schamma und Misa. 

14 Oholibama, die Tochter Anas und Enkelin Zibons, bekam drei Söhne: Jëusch, Jalam und Korach. 

15-16 Esaus Söhne wurden zu Oberhäuptern verschiedener Stämme. Von Esaus ältestem Sohn Elifas stammen die Fürsten Teman, Omar, Zefo, Kenas, Korach, Gatam und Amalek. Sie gehen auf Esaus Frau Ada zurück. 

17 Von Esaus Sohn Reguël stammen die Fürsten Nahat, Serach, Schamma und Misa. Sie gehen auf Esaus Frau Basemat zurück. 

18 Von Esaus Frau Oholibama stammen die Fürsten Jëusch, Jalam und Korach. 

19 Diese Fürsten sind Nachkommen Esaus und bilden das Volk der Edomiter. 

Seïrs Nachkommen

20-21 Die Einwohner im Land Edom gehen auf den Horiter Seïr zurück. Seine Söhne waren Lotan, Schobal, Zibon, Ana, Dischon, Ezer und Dischan. Sie waren die Oberhäupter von den verschiedenen Stämmen der Horiter. 

22 Lotans Söhne hießen Hori und Hemam, seine Schwester hieß Timna. 

23 Schobals Söhne waren Alwan, Manahat, Ebal, Schefi und Onam. 

24 Zibons Söhne waren Ajja und Ana. Ana fand eine heiße Quelle in der Wüste, als er dort die Esel seines Vaters Zibon weidete. 

25 Ana hatte einen Sohn namens Dischon und eine Tochter mit Namen Oholibama. 

26 Dischons Söhne hießen Hemdan, Eschban, Jitran und Keran. 

27 Ezers Söhne waren Bilhan, Saawan und Akan. 

28 Dischans Söhne hießen Uz und Aran. 

29-30 Aus diesen entstanden die Stämme der Horiter, denen die Stammesfürsten Lotan, Schobal, Zibon, Ana, Dischon, Ezer und Dischan als Oberhäupter vorstanden. 

Könige und Oberhäupter der Edomiter

31 Noch bevor die Israeliten einen König hatten, regierten im Land Edom nacheinander folgende Könige: 

32 König Bela, der Sohn von Beor, in der Stadt Dinhaba; 

33 König Jobab, der Sohn von Serach, aus Bozra; 

34 König Huscham aus dem Gebiet der Temaniter; 

35 König Hadad, der Sohn von Bedad, in der Stadt Awit; sein Heer schlug die Midianiter im Gebiet von Moab; 

36 König Samla aus Masreka; 

37 König Schaul aus Rehobot am Fluss; 

38 König Baal-Hanan, der Sohn von Achbor; 

39 König Hadad in der Stadt Pagu; seine Frau hieß Mehetabel, sie war eine Tochter von Matred und Enkelin von Me-Sahab. 

40-43 Folgende Oberhäupter der Edomiter stammen von Esau ab: Timna, Alwa, Jetet, Oholibama, Ela, Pinon, Kenas, Teman, Mibzar, Magdiël und Iram. Nach ihnen werden die verschiedenen Stämme und ihre Gebiete benannt.
