The Family Line of Esau

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.

They are Eliphaz, the son of Esau’s wife Adah, and Reuel, the son of Esau’s wife Basemath.

11The sons of Eliphaz were

Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam and Kenaz. 12Esau’s son Eliphaz also had a concubine named Timna. She had Amalek by Eliphaz. They were grandsons of Esau’s wife Adah.

13The sons of Reuel were

Nahath, Zerah, Shammah and Mizzah. They were grandsons of Esau’s wife Basemath.

14Esau’s wife Oholibamah was the daughter of Anah and the granddaughter of Zibeon.

She had Jeush, Jalam and Korah by Esau.

1. Mosebog 36:1-43

Esaus slægt

1Det følgende er Esaus historie, han som også blev kaldt Edom:

2Esau giftede sig med to kana’anæiske piger: Ada, en datter af hittitten Elon, og Oholibama, en datter af Ana og barnebarn af hivvitten Zibon. 3Han giftede sig også med sin kusine Basemat, en datter af Ishmael og søster til Nebajot. 4Esau og Ada fik en søn, der blev kaldt Elifaz. Esau og Basemat fik en søn, der blev kaldt Reuel. 5Esau og Oholibama fik tre sønner, der fik navnene Jeush, Jalam og Kora. Alle disse sønner blev født i Kana’ans land.

6Senere tog Esau sine koner, sine sønner, sine døtre, hele sin husstand og besætning og alt, hvad han havde samlet sig i Kana’ans land, og flyttede til et andet land af frygt for sin bror Jakob. 7Deres husdyr var jo også blevet alt for mange til, at de som fremmede kunne bo samme sted som de fastboende. Der var slet ikke græs nok. 8Esau slog sig derfor ned i Seirs bjergland.

9Her følger en liste over Esaus efterkommere, edomitterne, som bor i Seirs bjergland:

10-13Ada fødte som sagt Esau en søn, der fik navnet Elifaz, og han fik fem sønner: Teman, Omar, Zefo, Gatam og Kenaz. Elifaz havde også en kone, som hed Timna, og med hende fik han sønnen Amalek.

Esau og hans kone Basemat fik sønnen Reuel, og han fik fire sønner: Nahat, Zerach, Shamma og Mizza.

14Esaus kone Oholibama, en datter af Zibons søn Ana, fødte tre sønner: Jeush, Jalam og Kora.

15-16Esaus sønner og sønnesønner blev stamfædre for de forskellige stammer blandt Edoms folk. De stammer, der er kendt under navnene Teman, Omar, Zefo, Kenaz, Kora, Gatam og Amalek, nedstammer alle fra Elifaz, Esaus og Adas ældste søn.

17De stammer, der er kendt under navnene Nahat, Zerach, Shamma og Mizza, nedstammer alle fra Reuel, Esaus og Basemats søn.

18-19Desuden er der stammerne Jeush, Jalam og Kora, opkaldt efter de sønner, som Esau fik med sin kone Oholibama, Anas datter.

Edoms oprindelige indbyggere

20-21Her følger en liste med navnene på de stammer, som oprindeligt boede i Seirs land: Lotan, Shobal, Zibon, Ana, Dishon, Etzer og Dishan. De er efterkommere af og har navn efter horitten Seirs sønner.

22Lotan, Seirs søn, havde følgende sønner: Hori og Hemam. Lotan havde også en søster ved navn Timna.

23Shobals sønner hed Alvan, Manahat, Ebal, Shefo og Onam.

24Zibons sønner hed Ajja og Ana. Det var Ana, som opdagede en varm kilde i ørkenen, dengang han vogtede sin fars æsler. 25Anas børn var sønnen Dishon og datteren Oholibama. 26Dishons sønner hed Hemdan, Eshban, Jitran og Keran.

27Etzers sønner hed Bilhan, Za’avan og Akan.

28Dishans sønner hed Utz og Aran.

29-30Horitternes stammer i Seirs land hed altså: Lotan, Shobal, Zibon, Ana, Dishon, Etzer og Dishan.

De oprindelige konger i Seirs land

31-39Endnu før der var konger i Israel, herskede følgende konger i det, der nu hedder Edom: Først Bela, Beors søn, fra byen Dinhaba. Da han døde, efterfulgtes han af Jobab, Zerachs søn fra Botzra. Da Jobab døde, efterfulgtes han af Husham fra temanitternes område. Da Husham døde, blev Hadad konge. Han var søn af Bedad og kom fra byen Avit. Det var ham, der besejrede midjanitternes hær i Moabs land. Da Hadad døde, blev Samla fra Masreka konge. Da han døde, blev Shaul fra flodbyen Rehobot konge. Da han døde, blev Ba’al-Hanan, Ahbors søn, konge. Da han døde, blev Hadar fra Pau konge. Hans kone hed Mehetabel og var datter af Matred, som igen var datter af Mezahab.

40Slægtsoverhovederne i Esaus slægt hed Timna, Alva, Jetet, 41Oholibama, Ela, Pinon, 42Kenaz, Teman, Mibzar, 43Magdiel og Iram. Det område, som hver enkelt slægt boede i, overtog efterhånden slægtens navn.
