Genesis 36

New International Version



1 This is the account of the family line of Esau (that is, Edom). 2 Esau took his wives from the women of Canaan: Adah daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite – 3 also Basemath daughter of Ishmael and sister of Nebaioth. 4 Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau, Basemath bore Reuel, 5 and Oholibamah bore Jeush, Jalam and Korah. These were the sons of Esau, who were born to him in Canaan. 6 Esau took his wives and sons and daughters and all the members of his household, as well as his livestock and all his other animals and all the goods he had acquired in Canaan, and moved to a land some distance from his brother Jacob. 7 Their possessions were too great for them to remain together; the land where they were staying could not support them both because of their livestock. 8 So Esau (that is, Edom) settled in the hill country of Seir. 9 This is the account of the family line 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: Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam and Kenaz. 12 Esau’s son Eliphaz also had a concubine named Timna, who bore him Amalek. These were grandsons of Esau’s wife Adah. 13 The sons of Reuel: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah and Mizzah. These were grandsons of Esau’s wife Basemath. 14 The sons of Esau’s wife Oholibamah daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon, whom she bore to Esau: Jeush, Jalam and Korah. 15 These were the chiefs among Esau’s descendants: The sons of Eliphaz the firstborn of Esau: Chiefs Teman, Omar, Zepho, Kenaz, 16 Korah,[1] Gatam and Amalek. These were the chiefs descended from Eliphaz in Edom; they were grandsons of Adah. (1Ch 1:36) 17 The sons of Esau’s son Reuel: Chiefs Nahath, Zerah, Shammah and Mizzah. These were the chiefs descended from Reuel in Edom; they were grandsons of Esau’s wife Basemath. 18 The sons of Esau’s wife Oholibamah: Chiefs Jeush, Jalam and Korah. These were the chiefs descended 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 were the sons of Seir the Horite, who were living in the region: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, 21 Dishon, Ezer and Dishan. These sons of Seir in Edom were Horite chiefs. 22 The sons of Lotan: Hori and Homam.[2] Timna was Lotan’s sister. (1Ch 1:39) 23 The sons of Shobal: Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho and Onam. 24 The sons of Zibeon: Aiah and Anah. (This is the Anah who discovered the hot springs[3] in the desert while he was grazing the donkeys of his father Zibeon.) 25 The children of Anah: Dishon and Oholibamah daughter of Anah. 26 The sons of Dishon[4]: Hemdan, Eshban, Ithran and Keran. 27 The sons of Ezer: Bilhan, Zaavan and Akan. 28 The sons of Dishan: Uz and Aran. 29 These were the Horite chiefs: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, 30 Dishon, Ezer and Dishan. These were the Horite chiefs, according to their divisions, in the land of Seir. 



31 These were the kings who reigned in Edom before any Israelite king reigned: 32 Bela son of Beor became king of Edom. His city was named Dinhabah. 33 When Bela died, Jobab son of Zerah from Bozrah succeeded him as king. 34 When Jobab died, Husham from the land of the Temanites succeeded him as king. 35 When Husham died, Hadad son of Bedad, who defeated Midian in the country of Moab, succeeded him as king. His city was named Avith. 36 When Hadad died, Samlah from Masrekah succeeded him as king. 37 When Samlah died, Shaul from Rehoboth on the river succeeded him as king. 38 When Shaul died, Baal-Hanan son of Akbor succeeded him as king. 39 When Baal-Hanan son of Akbor died, Hadad[5] succeeded him as king. His city was named Pau, and his wife’s name was Mehetabel daughter of Matred, the daughter of Me-Zahab. (1Ch 1:50) 40 These were the chiefs descended from Esau, by name, according to their clans and regions: Timna, Alvah, Jetheth, 41 Oholibamah, Elah, Pinon, 42 Kenaz, Teman, Mibzar, 43 Magdiel and Iram. These were the chiefs of Edom, according to their settlements in the land they occupied. This is the family line of Esau, the father of the Edomites.

Genesis 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. (Ge 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, (De 2:12; De 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.
