Esau’s descendants

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.

The rulers of Edom

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.

Esaus Nachkommen

1 Es folgt das Verzeichnis der Nachkommen^[1] Esaus, der auch Edom heißt. (Ge 2:4) 2 Esau hatte Frauen aus dem Land Kanaan geheiratet. Es waren Ada, die Tochter des Hetiters Elon, Oholibama, eine Tochter Anas und Enkelin des Hiwiters Zibon, 3 und Basemat. Das war eine Tochter Ismaëls und die Schwester von Nebajot. 4 Ada gebar Elifas, Basemat gebar Reguël, 5 und Oholibama gebar Jëusch, Jalam und Korach. Diese Söhne wurden Esau im Land Kanaan geboren. 6 Aber dann hatte Esau das Land verlassen. Seine Frauen, seine Söhne und Töchter und alle seine Leute nahm er mit, seine Herden und den ganzen Besitz, den er im Land Kanaan erworben hatte. Er war von seinem Bruder Jakob weg in ein anderes Land gezogen.^[2] (Ge 27:39) 7 Ihr Besitz war nämlich zu groß, um beieinander zu wohnen, denn im Land ihrer Fremdlingschaft gab es nicht genügend Weiden für ihr Vieh. 8 So hatte sich Esau, das heißt Edom, im Bergland von Seïr^[3] niedergelassen. 9 Es folgt das Verzeichnis der Nachkommen Esaus, des Stammvaters der Edomiter, die im Gebirge Seïr leben. 10 Die Namen der Söhne Esaus waren: Elifas, Sohn der Ada, und Reguël, Sohn der Basemat. 11 Elifas wurde der Vater von Teman, Omar, Zefo, Gatam und Kenas. 12 Von seiner Nebenfrau Timna hatte Elifas noch Amalek. Sie alle stammen von Esaus Frau Ada ab. 13 Reguël wurde der Vater von Nahat, Serach, Schamma und Misa. Sie stammen von Esaus Frau Basemat ab. 14 Von Oholibama, der Tochter Anas und Enkelin Zibons, stammen Esaus Söhne Jëusch, Jalam und Korach. 15 Es folgen die Namen der Stammesfürsten, die sich von Esau herleiten. Von Elifas, dem Erstgeborenen Esaus, stammen: Teman, Omar, Zefo, Kenas, 16 Korach, Gatam und Amalek. Sie alle gehen auf Esaus Frau Ada zurück. 17 Von Esaus Sohn Reguël stammen: Nahat, Serach, Schamma und Misa. Sie gehen auf Esaus Frau Basemat zurück. 18 Von Esaus Frau Oholibama stammen Jëusch, Jalam und Korach. 19 Das sind also die Edomiter, Esaus Nachkommen und ihre Stammesfürsten. 20 Es folgen die Namen der dort ansässigen Bewohner, Nachkommen des Horiters Seïr. Seine Söhne hießen Lotan, Schobal, Zibon, Ana, 21 Dischon, Ezer und Dischan. Das waren die Stammesfürsten der Horiter. 22 Lotans Söhne hießen Hori und Heman. Lotans Schwester war Timna. 23 Die Söhne Schobals hießen Alwan, Manahat, Ebal, Schefo und Onam. 24 Die Söhne Zibons waren Aja und Ana. Ana war es, der Jemim^[4] in der Wildnis fand, als er die Esel seines Vaters hütete. 25 Anas Sohn hieß Dischon, seine Tochter Oholibama. 26 Die Söhne Dischons hießen Hemdan, Eschban, Jitran und Keran. 27 Die Söhne Ezers waren Bilhan, Saawan und Akan. 28 Die Söhne Dischans waren Uz und Aran. 29 Das sind also die Oberhäupter der Horiter: Lotan, Schobal, Zibon, Ana, 30 Dischon, Ezer und Dischan nach ihren Sippen im Land Seir. 31 Folgende Könige herrschten nacheinander über das Land Edom, noch bevor es einen König in Israel gab: 32 Bela, der Sohn Beors, in der Stadt Dinhaba; 33 Jobab, der Sohn Serachs, aus der Stadt Bozra; 34 Huscham aus dem Gebiet des Stammes Teman; 35 Hadad, der Sohn Bedads, in der Stadt Awit; er besiegte die Midianiter in einer Schlacht auf dem Gebiet von Moab; 36 Samla aus der Stadt Masreka; 37 Schaul aus Rehobot am Strom; 38 Baal-Hanan, der Sohn Achbors; 39 Hadar in der Stadt Pagu; seine Frau Mehetabel war eine Tochter Matreds und Enkelin Me-Sahabs. 40 Folgende Fürsten der Nachkommen Esaus haben ihren Sippen und Städten den Namen gegeben: Timna, Alwa, Jetet, 41 Oholibama, Ela, Pinon, 42 Kenas, Teman, Mibzar, 43 Magdiël und Iram. Das waren die Fürsten Edoms nach ihren Siedlungsgebieten in dem Land, das sie besaßen. So viel zu Esau, dem Stammvater der Edomiter.
