1 Estos son los descendientes de Esaú, es decir, Edom. 2 Esaú tomó mujeres de Canaán: Ada, hija de Elón el hitita; Aholibama, hija de Aná y nieta de Zibeón el heveo; 3 y Basemat, hija de Ismael y hermana de Nebaiot. 4 Ada dio a Esaú un hijo llamado Elifaz, y Basemat dio a luz a Reuel. 5 Aholibama dio a luz a Jeús, Jaalam y Coré. Estos fueron los hijos de Esaú que nacieron en la tierra de Canaán. 6 Esaú tomó a sus mujeres, sus hijos, sus hijas, toda la gente de su casa, su ganado, sus animales y todos los bienes que había conseguido en Canaán, y se fue lejos de su hermano Jacob. 7 Los dos tenían tantos bienes y tanto ganado que la tierra no era suficiente para que vivieran juntos. 8 Por eso Esaú se estableció en la región montañosa de Seir. Esaú es Edom. 9 Estos son los descendientes de Esaú, padre de los edomitas, en la región montañosa de Seir. 10 Estos son los nombres de los hijos de Esaú: Elifaz, hijo de Ada, mujer de Esaú; y Reuel, hijo de Basemat, mujer de Esaú. 11 Los hijos de Elifaz fueron Temán, Omar, Zefo, Gatam y Cenaz. 12 Timna fue concubina de Elifaz, hijo de Esaú, y dio a luz a Amalec. Estos fueron descendientes de Ada, mujer de Esaú. 13 Los hijos de Reuel fueron Nahat, Zera, Sama y Miza. Estos fueron descendientes de Basemat, mujer de Esaú. 14 Los hijos de Aholibama, mujer de Esaú, hija de Aná y nieta de Zibeón, fueron Jeús, Jaalam y Coré. 15 Estos fueron los jefes entre los descendientes de Esaú. De Elifaz, hijo mayor de Esaú, vinieron los jefes Temán, Omar, Zefo, Cenaz, 16 Coré, Gatam y Amalec. Estos fueron los jefes descendientes de Elifaz en la tierra de Edom, y eran descendientes de Ada. 17 De Reuel, hijo de Esaú, vinieron los jefes Nahat, Zera, Sama y Miza. Estos fueron los jefes descendientes de Reuel en la tierra de Edom, y eran descendientes de Basemat, mujer de Esaú. 18 De Aholibama, mujer de Esaú, vinieron los jefes Jeús, Jaalam y Coré. Estos fueron los jefes descendientes de Aholibama, hija de Aná. 19 Estos fueron los hijos de Esaú, es decir, Edom, y estos fueron sus jefes. 20 Estos fueron los hijos de Seir el horeo, que vivían en aquella tierra: Lotán, Sobal, Zibeón, Aná, 21 Disón, Ezer y Disán. Estos fueron los jefes de los horeos, descendientes de Seir, en la tierra de Edom. 22 Los hijos de Lotán fueron Hori y Hemam. La hermana de Lotán era Timna. 23 Los hijos de Sobal fueron Alván, Manahat, Ebal, Sefo y Onam. 24 Los hijos de Zibeón fueron Aja y Aná. Este Aná fue quien encontró los manantiales en el desierto mientras cuidaba los asnos de su padre Zibeón. 25 Los hijos de Aná fueron Disón y Aholibama, hija de Aná. 26 Los hijos de Disón fueron Hemdán, Esbán, Itrán y Querán. 27 Los hijos de Ezer fueron Bilhán, Zaaván y Acán. 28 Los hijos de Disán fueron Uz y Arán. 29 Estos fueron los jefes de los horeos: Lotán, Sobal, Zibeón, Aná, 30 Disón, Ezer y Disán. Estos fueron los jefes horeos por sus grupos en la tierra de Seir. 31 Estos son los reyes que gobernaron en la tierra de Edom antes de que hubiera rey sobre los israelitas. 32 Bela, hijo de Beor, fue rey de Edom, y su ciudad se llamaba Dinaba. 33 Cuando Bela murió, Jobab, hijo de Zera de Bosra, reinó en su lugar. 34 Cuando Jobab murió, Husam, de la tierra de los temanitas, reinó en su lugar. 35 Cuando Husam murió, Hadad, hijo de Bedad, reinó en su lugar. Hadad había derrotado a los madianitas en la región de Moab, y su ciudad se llamaba Avit. 36 Cuando Hadad murió, Samla de Masreca reinó en su lugar. 37 Cuando Samla murió, Saúl de Rehobot, junto al río, reinó en su lugar. 38 Cuando Saúl murió, Baal-hanán, hijo de Acbor, reinó en su lugar. 39 Cuando Baal-hanán murió, Hadar reinó en su lugar. Su ciudad se llamaba Pau. Su mujer se llamaba Mehetabel, hija de Matred y nieta de Mezaab. 40 Estos son los nombres de los jefes descendientes de Esaú, según sus familias y lugares: Timna, Alva, Jetet, 41 Aholibama, Ela, Pinón, 42 Cenaz, Temán, Mibzar, 43 Magdiel e Iram. Estos fueron los jefes de Edom según los lugares donde vivían en la tierra que poseían. Esaú fue el padre de los edomitas.
