1 The following is the genealogy of Esau (also known as Edom).
2 Esau married two Canaanite women: Adah, daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah, daughter of Anah, and granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite.
3 In addition he married Basemath, daughter of Ishmael and sister of Nebaioth.
4 Adah had a son for Esau named Eliphaz. Basemath had Reul.
5 Oholibamah had Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. These were the sons of Esau, who were born to him in Canaan.
6 Esau took his wives, sons and daughters, and everyone in his household, together with his livestock, all his other animals, and all the possessions he had gained while in Canaan, and went to live in a country far away from his brother Jacob.
7 He did this because the land they were living in couldn't support both of them with all their livestock.
8 Esau settled down in the hill country of Seir.
9 The following is the genealogy of Esau, father of the Edomites, who lived in the hill country of Seir:
10 These were the names of Esau's sons: Eliphaz, son of Esau's wife Adah, and Reuel, son of Esau's wife Basemath.
11 The sons of Eliphaz were: Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz.
12 Timna, the concubine of Esau's son Eliphaz, had Amalek for Eliphaz. These were the descendants of Esau's wife Adah.
13 These were the sons of Reuel: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. They were the descendants of Esau's wife Basemath.
14 These were the sons of Esau's wife Oholibamah, daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon, whom she had for Esau: Jeush, Jalam, and Korah.
15 These were the tribal leaders of Esau's sons. The tribal leaders of the sons of Eliphaz (Esau's firstborn) were Teman, Omar, Zepho, Kenaz,
16 Korah, Gatam, and Amalek. They were the tribal leaders of Eliphaz in the country of Edom, and they were the descendants of Adah.

31 These were the kings who ruled in the land of Edom before there was any king who ruled over the Israelites:

33 When Bela died, Jobab, son of Zerah from Bozrah, took over as king.
