Genesis 36:5-23 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

5. Oholibamah had three sons: Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. These were Esau’s sons who were born in the land of Canaan.

6-8. Jacob and Esau’s families became too big for the land in Canaan to support them all, so Esau moved away from his brother Jacob. He took his wives, sons, daughters, all his slaves, cattle and other animals, and everything else that he had gotten in Canaan and moved to the hill country of Seir. (Esau is also named Edom.)

9. Esau is the father of the people of Edom. These are the names of Esau’s family living in the hill country of Seir:

10. Esau and Adah’s son was Eliphaz. Esau and Basemath’s son was Reuel.

11. Eliphaz had five sons: Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz.

12. Eliphaz also had a slave woman named Timna. Timna and Eliphaz had a son named Amalek.

13. Reuel had four sons: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. These were Esau’s grandsons from his wife Basemath.

14. Esau’s third wife was Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah. (Anah was the son of Zibeon.) Esau and Oholibamah’s children were Jeush, Jalam, and Korah.

15. These are the family groups that came from Esau: Esau’s first son was Eliphaz. From Eliphaz came Teman, Omar, Zepho, Kenaz,

16. Korah, Gatam, and Amalek. All these family groups came from Esau’s wife Adah.

17. Esau’s son Reuel was the father of these families: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. All these families came from Esau’s wife Basemath.

18. Esau’s wife Oholibamah, daughter of Anah, gave birth to Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. These three men were the leaders of their families.

19. They were all sons of Esau and leaders of the family groups of Edom.

20. Seir, a Horite man, lived in Edom before Esau. These are the sons of Seir: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah,

21. Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan. These sons were all Horite family leaders from Seir in Edom.

22. Lotan was the father of Hori and Heman. (Timna was Lotan’s sister.)

23. Shobal was the father of Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho, and Onam.
