Genesis 35–36

And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to ^aBeth-el, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee ^bwhen thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother. ²Then Jacob said unto his ^chousehold, and to all that were with him, Put away ^dthe strange gods that are among you, and ^ebe clean, and change your garments: ³and let us arise, and go up to Beth-el; and I will make there an altar unto God, ^fwho answered me in the day of my distress, ^gand was with me in the way which I went. ⁴And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand, and all their ^hearrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under ⁱthe oak which was by Shechem. ⁵And they journeyed: and ^kthe terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob. ⁶So Jacob came to ^lLuz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Beth-el, he and all the people that were with him. ⁷And he built there an altar, and called the place El-beth-el: because there God appeared unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother. ⁸But ^mDeborah Rebekah’s nurse died, and she was buried beneath Beth-el under ⁿan oak: and the name of it was called Allon-bachuth. ⁹And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padan-aram, and blessed him. ¹⁰And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: ^othy name shall not be called any more Jacob, ^pbut Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel. ¹¹And God said unto him, ^qI am God Almighty: be ^rfruitful and multiply; ^sa nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins; ¹²and the land ^twhich I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land. ¹³And God ^uwent up from him in the place where he talked with him. ¹⁴And Jacob ^wset up a pillar in the place where he talked with him, even a pillar of stone: and he poured a ^xdrink offering thereon, and he poured oil thereon. ¹⁵And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with him, ^yBeth-el.

¹⁶And they journeyed from Beth-el; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour. ¹⁷And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; ^zthou shalt have this son also. ¹⁸And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing (for she died) that she called his name Ben-oni: but his father called him Benjamin. ¹⁹And ^aRachel died, and was buried in the way to ^bEphrath, which is Beth-lehem. ²⁰And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that is ^cthe pillar of Rachel’s grave unto this day. ²¹And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond ^dthe tower of Edar. ²²And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and ^elay with Bilhah his father’s concubine: and Israel heard it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve: ²³the sons of Leah; ^fReuben, Jacob’s firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun: ²⁴the sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin: ²⁵and the sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali: ²⁶and the sons of Zilpah, Leah’s handmaid; Gad, and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Padan-aram. ²⁷And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto ^gMamre, unto the ^hcity of Arbah, which is Hebron, where Abraham and ⁱIsaac sojourned. ²⁸And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years. ²⁹And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and ^kwas gathered unto his people, being old and full of days: and ^lhis sons Esau and Jacob buried him.

XXXVI.Now these are the generations of Esau, ^awho is Edom. ^2bEsau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and ^cAholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite; ³and ^dBashemath Ishmael’s daughter, sister of Nebajoth. ⁴And Adah bare to Esau ^eEliphaz; and Bashemath bare Reuel; ⁵and Aholibamah bare Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah: these are the sons of Esau, which were born unto him in the land of Canaan. ⁶And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the persons of his house, and his cattle, and all his beasts, and all his substance, which he had got in the land of Canaan; and went into the country from the face of his brother Jacob. ^7fFor their riches were more than that they might dwell together; and the land ^gwherein they were strangers could not bear them because of their cattle. ⁸Thus dwelt Esau in ^hmount Seir: ⁱEsau is Edom.

⁹And these are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in mount Seir: ¹⁰these are the names of Esau’s sons; ^kEliphaz the son of ^lAdah the wife of Esau, Reuel the son of Bashemath the wife of Esau. ¹¹And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenaz. ¹²And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz Esau’s son; and she bare to Eliphaz ^mAmalek: these were the sons of Adah Esau’s wife. ¹³And these are the sons of Reuel; Nahath, and Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah: these were the sons of Bashemath Esau’s wife. ¹⁴And these were the sons of ⁿAholibamah, the daughter of Anah, daughter of Zibeon, Esau’s wife: and she bare to Esau Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah. ¹⁵These were dukes of the sons of Esau: ^othe sons of Eliphaz the firstborn son of Esau; duke Teman, duke Omar, duke Zepho, duke Kenaz, ¹⁶duke Korah, duke Gatam, and duke Amalek: these are the dukes that came of Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these were the sons of Adah. ¹⁷And these are the sons of ^pReuel Esau’s son; duke Nahath, duke Zerah, duke Shammah, duke Mizzah: these are the dukes that came of Reuel in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Bashemath Esau’s wife. ¹⁸And these are the sons of ^qAholibamah Esau’s wife; duke Jeush, duke Jaalam, duke Korah: these were the dukes that came of Aholibamah the daughter of Anah, Esau’s wife. ¹⁹These are the sons of Esau, ^rwho is Edom, and these are their dukes.

^20sThese are the sons of Seir ^tthe Horite, who inhabited the land; Lotan, and Shobal, and Zibeon, and Anah, ²¹and Dishon, and Ezer, and Dishan: these are the dukes of the Horites, the children of Seir in the land of Edom. ²²And the children of Lotan were Hori and Hemam; and Lotan’s sister was ^uTimna. ²³And the children of Shobal were these; Alvan, and Manahath, and Ebal, Shepho, and Onam. ²⁴And these are the children of Zibeon; both Aiah, and Anah: this was that Anah that found the mules in the wilderness, as he fed the asses of Zibeon his father. ²⁵And the children of Anah were these; Dishon, and ^wAholibamah the daughter of Anah. ²⁶And these are the children of Dishon; Hemdan, and Eshban, and Ithran, and Cheran. ²⁷The children of Ezer are these; Bilhan, and Zaavan, and Akan. ²⁸The children of Dishan are these; Uz, and Aran. ²⁹These are the dukes that came of the Horites; ^xduke Lotan, duke Shobal, duke Zibeon, duke Anah, ³⁰duke Dishon, duke Ezer, duke Dishan: these are the dukes that came of Hori, among their dukes in the land of Seir.

³¹And ^ythese are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before there reigned any king over the children of Israel. ³²And Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom: and the name of his city was Dinhabah. ³³And Bela died, and Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his stead. ³⁴And Jobab died, and Husham of the land of Temani reigned in his stead. ³⁵And Husham died, and Hadad the son of Bedad, who smote Midian in the field of Moab, reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Avith. ³⁶And Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his stead. ³⁷And Samlah died, and Saul of ^zRehoboth by the river reigned in his stead. ³⁸And Saul died, and Baal-hanan the son of Achbor reigned in his stead. ³⁹And Baal-hanan the son of Achbor died, and ^aHadar reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Pau; and his wife’s name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab. ⁴⁰And these are the names of ^bthe dukes that came of Esau, according to their families, after their places, by their names; duke Timnah, duke Alvah, duke Jetheth, ⁴¹duke Aholibamah, duke Elah, duke Pinon, ⁴²duke Kenaz, duke Teman, duke Mibzar, ⁴³duke Magdiel, duke Iram: these be the dukes of Edom, according to their habitations in the land of their possession: he is Esau the father of the Edomites.
