[1] The first generations of people were Adam, Seth, Enosh, Kenan, Mahalalel, Jared, Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech, and Noah. [4] The sons of Noah were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. [5] The sons of Japheth were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. [6] The sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. [7] The sons of Javan were Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Rodanim. [8] The sons of Ham were Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan. [9] The sons of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan. [10] Nimrod, a descendant of Cush, grew up to become the strongest and bravest soldier in the world. [11] Mizraim was the father of the people of Lud, Anam, Lehab, Naphtuh, [12] Pathrus, Casluh, and Caphtor. (The Philistines came from Casluh.) [13] Canaan was the father of Sidon. Sidon was his first child. Canaan was also the father of the Hittites, [14] Jebusites, Amorites, Girgashites, [15] Hivites, Arkites, Sinites, [16] Arvadites, Zemarites, and the people from Hamath. [17] Shem's sons were Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram. Aram's sons were Uz, Hul, Gether, and Meshech. [18] Arphaxad was the father of Shelah. Shelah was the father of Eber. [19] Eber had two sons. One son was named Peleg, because the people on the earth were divided into different languages during his lifetime. Peleg's brother was named Joktan. [20] (Joktan was the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, [21] Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, [22] Ebal, Abimael, Sheba, [23] Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these men were Joktan's sons.) [24] Shem's descendants were Arphaxad, Shelah, [25] Eber, Peleg, Reu, [26] Serug, Nahor, Terah, [27] and Abram. (Abram is also called Abraham.) [28] Abraham's sons were Isaac and Ishmael. [29] These are their descendants: Ishmael's first son was Nebaioth. His other sons were Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, [30] Mishma, Dumah, Massa, Hadad, Tema, [31] Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah. These were Ishmael's sons. [32] Abraham also had sons by Keturah, his slave woman. They were Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. Jokshan's sons were Sheba and Dedan. [33] Midian's sons were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. These men were the descendants of Keturah. [34] Abraham was the father of Isaac. Isaac's sons were Esau and Israel. [35] Esau's sons were Eliphaz, Reuel, Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. [36] Eliphaz's sons were Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz. Also Eliphaz and Timna had a son named Amalek. [37] Reuel's sons were Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. [38] Seir's sons were Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan. [39] Lotan's sons were Hori and Homam. Lotan had a sister named Timna. [40] Shobal's sons were Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho, and Onam. Zibeon's sons were Aiah and Anah. [41] Anah's son was Dishon. Dishon's sons were Hemdan, Eshban, Ithran, and Keran. [42] Ezer's sons were Bilhan, Zaavan, and Akan. Dishan's sons were Uz and Aran. [43] There were kings in Edom long before there were kings in Israel. These are the names of the kings of Edom: Bela was the son of Beor. The name of Bela's city was Dinhabah. [44] When Bela died, Jobab son of Zerah became the new king. Jobab came from Bozrah. [45] When Jobab died, Husham became the new king. Husham was from the country of the Temanites. [46] When Husham died, Hadad son of Bedad became the new king. Hadad defeated Midian in the country of Moab. Hadad's city was named Avith. [47] When Hadad died, Samlah became the new king. Samlah was from Masrekah. [48] When Samlah died, Shaul became the new king. Shaul was from Rehoboth by the Euphrates River. [49] When Shaul died, Baal Hanan son of Acbor became the new king. [50] When Baal Hanan died, Hadad became the new king. Hadad's city was named Pau. Hadad's wife was named Mehetabel. Mehetabel was Matred's daughter. Matred was Mezahab's daughter. [51] Then Hadad died. The leaders of Edom were Timna, Alvah, Jetheth, [52] Oholibamah, Elah, Pinon, [53] Kenaz, Teman, Mibzar, [54] Magdiel, and Iram. This is a list of the leaders of Edom.
