1Es folgt der Stammbaum von Esau, der auch Edom genannt wurde:2-3Er hatte drei Frauen aus Kanaan geheiratet: Ada, eine Tochter des Hetiters Elon; Oholibama, eine Tochter Anas und Enkelin des Horiters Zibon, und Basemat, eine Tochter Ismaels und Schwester Nebajots.4Von Ada hatte er einen Sohn mit Namen Elifas; von Basemat stammte Reguël,5und mit Oholibama zeugte er Jëusch, Jalam und Korach. Alle wurden im Land Kanaan geboren.6Später verließ Esau das Land. Seine Frauen, Kinder und alle, die zu ihm gehörten, nahm er mit; dazu seine Viehherden und den Besitz, den er in Kanaan erworben hatte. Er zog in das Land Seïr, fort von seinem Bruder Jakob.7Sie besaßen beide so große Viehherden, dass es im Land Kanaan nicht genug Weidefläche für sie gab.8Deshalb ließ sich Esau, der Stammvater der Edomiter, im Bergland Seïr nieder.9Dies ist die Liste der Nachkommen von Esau; es sind die Edomiter, die im Land Seïr leben.10Die Söhne Esaus: Von seinen beiden Frauen Ada und Basemat hatte Esau je einen Sohn; Ada brachte Elifas zur Welt und Basemat Reguël.11Elifas’ Söhne waren Teman, Omar, Zefo, Gatam, Kenas12und Amalek. Amalek war der Sohn von Elifas’ Nebenfrau Timna.13Reguël hatte vier Söhne: Nahat, Serach, Schamma und Misa.14Oholibama, die Tochter Anas und Enkelin Zibons, bekam drei Söhne: Jëusch, Jalam und Korach.15-16Esaus Söhne wurden zu Oberhäuptern verschiedener Stämme. Von Esaus ältestem Sohn Elifas stammen die Fürsten Teman, Omar, Zefo, Kenas, Korach, Gatam und Amalek. Sie gehen auf Esaus Frau Ada zurück.17Von Esaus Sohn Reguël stammen die Fürsten Nahat, Serach, Schamma und Misa. Sie gehen auf Esaus Frau Basemat zurück.18Von Esaus Frau Oholibama stammen die Fürsten Jëusch, Jalam und Korach.19Diese Fürsten sind Nachkommen Esaus und bilden das Volk der Edomiter.
Seïrs Nachkommen
20-21Die Einwohner im Land Edom gehen auf den Horiter Seïr zurück. Seine Söhne waren Lotan, Schobal, Zibon, Ana, Dischon, Ezer und Dischan. Sie waren die Oberhäupter von den verschiedenen Stämmen der Horiter.22Lotans Söhne hießen Hori und Hemam, seine Schwester hieß Timna.23Schobals Söhne waren Alwan, Manahat, Ebal, Schefi und Onam.24Zibons Söhne waren Ajja und Ana. Ana fand eine heiße Quelle in der Wüste, als er dort die Esel seines Vaters Zibon weidete.25Ana hatte einen Sohn namens Dischon und eine Tochter mit Namen Oholibama.26Dischons Söhne hießen Hemdan, Eschban, Jitran und Keran.27Ezers Söhne waren Bilhan, Saawan und Akan.28Dischans Söhne hießen Uz und Aran.29-30Aus diesen entstanden die Stämme der Horiter, denen die Stammesfürsten Lotan, Schobal, Zibon, Ana, Dischon, Ezer und Dischan als Oberhäupter vorstanden.

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. (1Chr 1,36)17The 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.18The sons of Esau’s wife Oholibamah: Chiefs Jeush, Jalam and Korah. 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. (1Chr 1,39)23The sons of Shobal: Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho and Onam.24The 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.)25The children of Anah: Dishon and Oholibamah daughter of Anah.26The sons of Dishon[4]: Hemdan, Eshban, Ithran and Keran.27The sons of Ezer: Bilhan, Zaavan and Akan.28The sons of Dishan: Uz and Aran.29These were the Horite chiefs: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah,30Dishon, Ezer and Dishan. These were the Horite chiefs, according to their divisions, in the land of Seir.
The rulers of Edom
31These were the kings who reigned in Edom before any Israelite king reigned:32Bela son of Beor became king of Edom. His city was named Dinhabah.33When Bela died, Jobab son of Zerah from Bozrah succeeded him as king.34When Jobab died, Husham from the land of the Temanites succeeded him as king.35When Husham died, Hadad son of Bedad, who defeated Midian in the country of Moab, succeeded him as king. His city was named Avith.36When Hadad died, Samlah from Masrekah succeeded him as king.37When Samlah died, Shaul from Rehoboth on the river succeeded him as king.38When Shaul died, Baal-Hanan son of Akbor succeeded him as king.39When 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. (1Chr 1,50)40These were the chiefs descended from Esau, by name, according to their clans and regions: Timna, Alvah, Jetheth,41Oholibamah, Elah, Pinon,42Kenaz, Teman, Mibzar,43Magdiel 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.
