Chapter 36
1 And these are the generations of Esau (or Edom). 2 Esau took these women from the daughters of the CanaAnites: There was Ada (the daughter of AiLom the Chettite), OliBema (the daughter of Ana [who was] the son of SebeGon the Hivite), 3 and BaseMath (the daughter of IshMaEl and the sister of NabaiOth).
4 Ada bore EliPhas to [Esau], BaseMath bore RaguEl, 5 and OliBema bore Jeus, Jeglom, and Core. These were Esau's sons that were born to him in the land of CanaAn.
6 Then Esau took his women, his sons, his daughters, and everyone in his house, along with all his possessions, all his cattle… yes, everything that he had and absolutely everything that he'd acquired in the land of CanaAn, and he left the land of CanaAn [to get away from] his brother Jacob, 7 because they had both acquired so much that they could no longer live close to each other; for the land where they were staying couldn't hold them, since they had so much. 8 So Esau [went to live] at Mount Seir (Esau is Edom).
9 These are the generations of Esau (the father of the Edomites) when [he lived at] Mount Seir, 10 and these are the names of Esau's [grand]sons through EliPhas (Ada's son) and RaguEl (BaseMath's son).
11 The [grand]sons of Ada through EliPhas were ThaEman, Omar, Sophar, Gothom, and Kenez. 12 Also, ThamNa (EliPhas' concubine) bore Amalec to him.
13 The [grand]sons of BaseMath through RaguEl were NachOth, ZaRe, SoMe, and MoZe.
14 These are the sons of Esau's woman OliBema (the daughter of Ana, who was the son of SebeGon): She bore JeUs, JegLom, and CoRe to Esau.
15 These are the chiefs of EliPhas, the first-born of Esau: Chief ThaEman, Chief Omar, Chief Sophar, Chief Kenez, 16 Chief CoRe, Chief Gothom, and Chief Amalec. They are the chiefs of [the family of] EliPhas (the sons of Ada), in the land of Edom.
17 And these are the chiefs of RaguEl, the son of Esau: Chief NachOth, Chief ZaRe, Chief SoMe, and Chief MoZe. They are the chiefs of [the family of] RaguEl (the sons of BaseMath) in the land of Edom.
18 And these are the chiefs of OliBema (the daughter of Ana), Esau's woman: Chief JeUs, Chief JegLom, and Chief CoRe.
19 These were the sons of Esau. They are [all] chiefs, and they are [all] the sons of Edom.
20 These are the sons of SeIr the ChorRhite who lived in the land: LoTan, SoBal, SebeGon, Ana, 21 DeSon, Asar, and Rison. And these are the chiefs of the son of SeIr the ChorRhite, in the land of Edom: 22 The sons of LoTan and his sister ThamNa were ChorRhi and HaEman. 23 The sons of SoBal were GoLam, ManaChath, GaEbel, Sophar, and Omar. 24 The sons of SebeGon were Aie, and Ana (this is the same Ana who found Jamin in the desert when he was tending his father SebeGon's animals).
25 Ana's children were DeSon (his son) and OliBema (his daughter).
26 DeSon's sons were Amada, AsBan, IthRan, and CharRhan. 27 Asar's sons were BalaAm, ZuCam, and JuCam. 28 Rison's sons were Hos, and Aran.
29 These are the chiefs of the ChorRites: Chief LoTan, Chief SoBal, Chief SebeGon, Chief Ana, 30 Chief DeSon, Chief Asar, and Chief Rison. They are the chiefs of the ChorRites in their own principalities in the land of Edom.
31 These are the kings that reigned in Edom before [the time of] the kings of IsraEl: 32 Balac (the son of Beor) reigned in Edom, and his [capital] city was DenNaba. 33 After Balac died, Jobab (the son of Zara from BosorRha) reigned in his stead. 34 After Jobab died, Asom (from the land of the ThaEmanites) reigned in his stead. 35 After Asom died, Adad (the son of Barad, who cut off Midian in the plain of Moab) reigned in his stead. And his [capital] city was GetThaim.
36 After Adad died, SaMada of MasSecca reigned in his stead. 37 After SaMada died, Saul of RhoObOth by the River reigned in his stead. 38 After Saul died, BalLenon (the son of AchObor) reigned in his stead. 39 After BalLenon died, Arad (the son of Barad) reigned in his stead. The name of his [capital] city was Phogor, and the name of his woman was MeteBeel (the daughter of MatraIth, who was the son of MaiZoOb).
40 These are the names of the tribal chiefs of Esau in their areas, countries, and nations: Chief ThamNa, Chief Gola, Chief Jether, 41 Chief OliBema, Chief Helas, Chief Phinon, 42 Chief Kenez, Chief ThaEman, Chief Mazar, 43 Chief MagediEl, and Chief Zaphoin. They are the chiefs of Edom in the areas where they live and in the lands that they own. And this is Esau, the father of [all] Edom.
44 However, Jacob lived in the land where his father stayed, the land of CanaAn.
