1This is the account of the family line of Esau (that is, Edom).2Esau 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 –3also Basemath daughter of Ishmael and sister of Nebaioth.4Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau, Basemath bore Reuel,5and Oholibamah bore Jeush, Jalam and Korah. These were the sons of Esau, who were born to him in Canaan.6Esau 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.7Their possessions were too great for them to remain together; the land where they were staying could not support them both because of their livestock.8So Esau (that is, Edom) settled in the hill country of Seir.9This is the account of the family line of Esau the father of the Edomites in the hill country of Seir.10These are the names of Esau’s sons: Eliphaz, the son of Esau’s wife Adah, and Reuel, the son of Esau’s wife Basemath.11The sons of Eliphaz: Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam and Kenaz.12Esau’s son Eliphaz also had a concubine named Timna, who bore him Amalek. These were grandsons of Esau’s wife Adah.13The sons of Reuel: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah and Mizzah. These were grandsons of Esau’s wife Basemath.14The sons of Esau’s wife Oholibamah daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon, whom she bore to Esau: Jeush, Jalam and Korah.15These were the chiefs among Esau’s descendants: The sons of Eliphaz the firstborn of Esau: Chiefs Teman, Omar, Zepho, Kenaz,16Korah,[1] Gatam and Amalek. These were the chiefs descended from Eliphaz in Edom; they were grandsons of Adah. (1Ch 1:36)17The sons of Esau’s son Reuel: Chiefs Nahath, Zerah, Shammah and Mizzah.

These were the chiefs descended from Esau’s wife Oholibamah daughter of Anah.19These were the sons of Esau (that is, Edom), and these were their chiefs.20These were the sons of Seir the Horite, who were living in the region: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah,21Dishon, Ezer and Dishan. These sons of Seir in Edom were Horite chiefs.22The sons of Lotan: Hori and Homam.[2] Timna was Lotan’s sister. (1Ch 1:39)23The sons of Shobal: Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho and Onam.24The sons of Zibeon: Aiah and Anah.
