1Dies ist das Geschlecht Esaus, der auch Edom heißt: (1Mo 25,30; 5Mo 23,8; 1Chr 1,35)2Esau nahm sich Frauen von den Töchtern Kanaans: Ada, die Tochter Elons, des Hetiters, und Oholibama, die Tochter des Ana, des Sohnes Zibons, des Horiters, (1Mo 26,34)3und Basemat, Ismaels Tochter, Nebajots Schwester. (1Mo 28,9)4Und Ada gebar dem Esau Elifas, und Basemat gebar Reguël.5Oholibama gebar Jëusch, Jalam und Korach. Das sind Esaus Söhne, die ihm geboren sind im Lande Kanaan.6Und Esau nahm seine Frauen, Söhne und Töchter und alle Leute seines Hauses, seine Habe und alles Vieh mit allen Gütern, die er im Lande Kanaan erworben hatte, und zog in ein anderes Land, hinweg von seinem Bruder Jakob.7Denn ihre Habe war zu groß, als dass sie beieinander wohnen konnten; das Land, darin sie Fremdlinge waren, vermochte sie nicht zu ertragen wegen der Menge ihres Viehs. (1Mo 13,6)8Daher wohnte Esau auf dem Gebirge Seïr. Esau ist Edom.9Dies ist das Geschlecht Esaus, von dem die Edomiter herkommen auf dem Gebirge Seïr,10und so heißen die Söhne Esaus: Elifas, der Sohn Adas, der Frau Esaus; Reguël, der Sohn Basemats, der Frau Esaus.11Des Elifas Söhne aber waren diese: Teman, Omar, Zefo, Gatam und Kenas.12Und Timna war eine Nebenfrau des Elifas, des Sohnes Esaus; die gebar ihm Amalek. Das sind die Söhne von Ada, der Frau Esaus.13Die Söhne aber Reguëls sind diese: Nahat, Serach, Schamma, Misa. Das sind die Söhne von Basemat, der Frau Esaus.14Die Söhne aber von Oholibama, der Frau Esaus, der Tochter des Ana, des Sohnes Zibons, die sie dem Esau gebar, sind diese: Jëusch, Jalam und Korach.15Dies sind die Stammesfürsten der Söhne Esaus. Die Söhne des Elifas, des ersten Sohnes Esaus: der Fürst Teman, der Fürst Omar, der Fürst Zefo, der Fürst Kenas,16der Fürst Korach, der Fürst Gatam, der Fürst Amalek. Das sind die Fürsten von Elifas im Lande Edom und sind Söhne von der Ada.17Und dies sind die Söhne Reguëls, des Sohnes Esaus: der Fürst Nahat, der Fürst Serach, der Fürst Schamma, der Fürst Misa. Das sind die Fürsten von Reguël im Lande der Edomiter und sind Söhne von der Basemat, der Frau Esaus.18Dies sind die Söhne Oholibamas, der Frau Esaus: der Fürst Jëusch, der Fürst Jalam, der Fürst Korach. Das sind die Fürsten von Oholibama, der Tochter des Ana, der Frau Esaus.19Das sind Esaus Söhne und ihre Stammesfürsten.

1Here is the story of the family line of Esau. Esau was also called Edom.2Esau got his wives from among the women of Canaan. He married Adah, the daughter of Elon the Hittite. He also married Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah and the granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite.3And he married Basemath, the daughter of Ishmael and the sister of Nebaioth.4Adah had Eliphaz by Esau. Basemath had Reuel.5Oholibamah had Jeush, Jalam and Korah. All of them were Esau’s sons. They were born in Canaan.6Esau moved to a land far away from his brother Jacob. Esau took with him his wives, his sons and daughters, and all the people who lived with him. He also took his livestock and all his other animals. He took everything he had acquired in Canaan.7Jacob and Esau owned so much that they couldn’t remain together. There wasn’t enough land for both of them. They had too much livestock.8So Esau made his home in the hill country of Seir. Esau was also called Edom.9Here is the story of the family line of Esau. He’s the father of the people of Edom. They live in the hill country of Seir.10Here are the names of Esau’s sons.
