Chapter 36 - Generations of Esau

Read the Book of Jasher for the rest of the story.

[1] Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom.

[2] Esau took his wives (of the daughters of Canaan); Adah (the daughter of Elon) the Hittite, and Aholibamah (the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon) the Hivite;

[3] And Bashemath (Ishmael's daughter) sister of Nebajoth.

[4] And Adah bare to Esau, Eliphaz; and Bashemath bare Reuel;

[5] And Aholibamah bare Jeush, and 

Jaalam, and 

Korah: these are the sons of Esau, which were born unto him in the land of Canaan.

[6] And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the persons of his house, and his cattle, and all his beasts, and all his substance, which he had got in the land of Canaan; and went into the country from the face of his brother Jacob.

[7] For their riches were more than that they might dwell together; and the land wherein they were strangers could not bear them because of their cattle.

[8] Thus dwelt Esau in Mount Seir: Esau is Edom.

[9] And these are the generations (of Esau) the father of the Edomites in Mount Seir:

[10] These are the names of Esau's sons; 

Eliphaz (the son of Adah, the wife of Esau), 

Reuel (the son of Bashemath, the wife of Esau).

[11] And the sons of Eliphaz were; 

Teman, 

Omar, 

Zepho, and 

Gatam, and 

Kenaz.

[12] And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz (Esau's son); and she bare to Eliphaz, 

Amalek: these were the sons of Adah (Esau's wife).

[13] And these are the sons of Reuel; 

Nahath, and 

Zerah, 

Shammah, and 

Mizzah: these were the sons of Bashemath (Esau's wife).

[14] And these were the sons of Aholibamah (the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon) Esau's wife: and she bare to Esau; 

Jeush, and 

Jaalam, and

[17] And these are the sons of Reuel (Esau's son);

[19] These are the sons of Esau (who is Edom) and these are their dukes.

[20] These are the sons of Seir[1] (the Horite) who inhabited the land; 

Lotan, and 

Shobal, and 

Zibeon, and

[21] And

[23] And the children (of Shobal) were these; 

Alvan, and 

Manahath, and 

Ebal, 

Shepho, and 

Onam.

[24] And these are the children (of Zibeon); both Ajah, and Anah: this was that Anah that found the mules in the wilderness, as he fed the asses of Zibeon his father.[2]

[25] And the children (of Anah) were these; 

Dishon, and 

Aholibamah (the daughter of Anah).

[26] And these are the children of Dishon; 

Hemdan, and 

Eshban, and 

Ithran, and 

Cheran.

[27] The children (of Ezer) are these; 

Bilhan, and

[29] These are the dukes that came of the Horites;

[30] Duke Dishon, 

duke Ezer, 

duke Dishan: these are the dukes that came of Hori, among their dukes in the land of Seir.

[31] And these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before there reigned any king over the children of Israel.

[32] And Bela (the son of Beor) reigned in Edom: and the name of his city was Dinhabah.

[33] And Bela died, and Jobab (the son of Zerah, of Bozrah) reigned in his stead.

[34] And Jobab died, and Husham (of the land of Temani) reigned in his stead.

[35] And Husham died, and Hadad (the son of Bedad) who smote Midian in the field of Moab, reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Avith.

[36] And Hadad died, and Samlah (of Masrekah) reigned in his stead.

[37] And Samlah died, and Saul (of Rehoboth by the river) reigned in his stead.

[38] And Saul died, and Baal-hanan (the son of Achbor) reigned in his stead.

[39] And Baal-hanan (the son of Achbor) died, and Hadar reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Pau; and his wife's name was Mehetabel (the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab).

[40] And these are the names of the dukes that came of Esau, according to their families, after their places, by their names;
