V. 1-43. This is the family of Esau, who is called Edom. Esau took wives of the daughters of Canaan, Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite; and Ahalibamah the daughter of Ana, the nephew of Zibeon the Hivite; and Basmath the daughter of Ishmael, Nebajoth's sister. And Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau. But Basmath bore Reguel. And Ahalibamah bare Jeus, and Jaelam, and Korah. These are Esaiah's children, which were born unto him in the land of Canaan. And Esau took his wives, sons and daughters, and all the souls of his house, and his substance, and all his cattle, with all the goods which he had gotten in the land of Canaan, and went into a land of Jacob his brother. For their possessions were too 1) great that they might
1) Jenaer: so.
They could not dwell together, and the land where they were strangers could not bear them from their goods. So Esau dwelt in mount Seir. And Esau is the Edom. This is the family of Esau, from whom the Edomites descended in Mount Seir, and this is the name of the children of Esau: Eliphaz the son of Adah, Esau's wife. Reguel the son of Basmath, Esau's wife. Now Eliphaz's sons were these: Theman, Omar, Zepho, Gaetham and Kenaz. And Timnah was a concubine of Eliphaz the son of Esau, which bare him Amalek. These are the children of Adah Esau's wife. But the children of Reguel are these: Nahath, Serah, Samma, Misa. These are the children of Basmath, Esau's wife. And the sons of Ahalibamah Esau's wife, the daughter of Ana, the nephew of Zibeon, are these,
whom she bore to Esau: Jeus, Jaelam and Korah. These are the princes among the children of Esau: the children of Eliphaz, the first son of Esau, were these: Theman the prince, Omar the prince, Zepho the prince, Kenaz the prince, Korah the prince, Gaetham the prince, Amalek the prince. These are the princes of Eliphaz in the land of Edom, and are children of Adah. And these are the sons of Reguel the son of Esau: the prince Nahath, the prince Zerah, the prince Samma, the prince Mishah. These are the princes of Reguel in the land of the Edomites, and are the children of Basmath Esau's wife. These are the sons of Ahalibamah, Esau's wife: the prince Jeus, the prince Jaelam, the prince Korah. These are the princes of Ahalibamah, the daughter of Ana, Esau's wife. These are Esau's children and their princes. He is the Edom. But the children of Seir the Horite, who dwelt in the land, are these: Lothan, Shobal, Zibeon, Ana, Dison, Ezer and Disan. These are the princes of the Horites, children of Seir in the land of Edom. But the children of Lothan were these: Hori and Heman. And Lothan's sister's name was Thimnah. The children of Shobal were these: Alwan, Manahath, Ebal, Sepho and Onam. The children of Zibeon were: Aja and Ana. This is the Ana who invented mule horses in the desert as he tended his father Zibeon's donkeys. The children of Ana were: Dison and Ahalibama; this is the daughter Ana. The children of Dison were: Hemdan, Esban, Jethran and Charan. The children of Ezer were: Bilhan, Saaban and Man. The children of Disan were: Uz and Aran. These are
the princes of the Horites: The prince Lothan, the prince Sobal, the prince Zibeon, the prince Ana, the prince Dison, the prince Ezer, the prince Disan. These are the princes of the Horites who ruled in the land of Seir. Now these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom before the children of Israel had kings: Bela was king in Edom, a son of Beor, and his city was called Dinhabah. And when Bela was dead, Jobab the son of Zerah of Bazrah reigned in his stead. And when Jobab was dead, Husham king of the Themanites reigned in his stead. And when Husham was dead, Hadad the son of Bedad reigned in his stead, who smote the Midianites in the field of Moab: and the name of his city was Avith. When Hadad died, Samla of Masrek reigned. And when Samla was dead, Saul reigned in Rehoboth by the water. And when Saul was dead, Baal Hanan the son of Achbor reigned in his stead. And when Baal Hanan the son of Achbor died, Hadar reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Pagu; and the name of his wife was Mehetabeel, a daughter of Matred, and a daughter of Mesahab. So the princes of Esau are called by their families, their families and their names: The prince Thimna, the prince Alwa, the prince Jetheth, the prince Ahalibama, the prince Ela, the prince Pinon, the prince Kenas, the prince Theman, the prince Mibzar, the prince Magdiel, the prince Iram. These are the princes of Edom, as they were accustomed in their inheritance. And Esau is the father of the Edomites.
Every man may look at and study this chapter for himself, for there are many names in it; therefore we will go on.
