A¹dam, Seth, Enosh, ²Kenan, Mahalalel, Jared, ³Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech, Noah.

⁴The sons of Noah: ⁵The sons of Japheth: ⁶The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. ⁷And the sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, the Kittites, and the Rodanites.

⁸The sons of Ham: ⁹The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabta, Raamah, and Sabteca. ¹⁰Cush was the father of Nimrod, who began to be a mighty one on the earth. ¹¹Mizraim was the father of the Ludites, the Anamites, the Lehabites, the Naphtuhites, ¹²the Pathrusites, the Casluhites (from whom the Philistines came), and the Caphtorites. ¹³And Canaan was the father of Sidon his firstborn, and of the Hittites, ¹⁴the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites, ¹⁵the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites, ¹⁶the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites.

¹⁷The sons of Shem: ¹⁸Arphaxad was the father of Shelah, and Shelah was the father of Eber. ¹⁹Two sons were born to Eber: One was named Peleg, because in his days the earth was divided, and his brother was named Joktan. ²⁰And Joktan was the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, ²¹Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, ²²Obal, Abimael, Sheba, ²³Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were sons of Joktan.

²⁴So from Shem came Arphaxad, Shelah, ²⁵Eber, Peleg, Reu, ²⁶Serug, Nahor, Terah, ²⁷and Abram (that is, Abraham).

T²⁸he sons of Abraham were Isaac and Ishmael. ²⁹These are their genealogies: ³⁰Nebaioth the firstborn of Ishmael, then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, Mishma, Dumah, Massa, Hadad, Tema, ³¹Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah. These were the sons of Ishmael.

³²The sons born to Keturah, Abraham’s concubine: ³³The sons of Midian: ³⁴Abraham was the father of Isaac. The sons of Isaac:

T³⁵he sons of Esau: ³⁶The sons of Eliphaz: Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz; and by Timna, Amalek. ³⁷The sons of Reuel: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah.

T³⁸he sons of Seir: ³⁹The sons of Lotan: Hori and Homam. Timna was Lotan’s sister. ⁴⁰The sons of Shobal: Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho, and Onam. ⁴¹The son of Anah: Dishon. ⁴²The sons of Ezer: Bilhan, Zaavan, and Akan.

T⁴³hese are the kings who reigned in the land of Edom before any king reigned over the Israelites: ⁴⁴When Bela died, Jobab son of Zerah from Bozrah reigned in his place. ⁴⁵When Jobab died, Husham from the land of the Temanites reigned in his place. ⁴⁶When Husham died, Hadad son of Bedad, who defeated Midian in the country of Moab, reigned in his place. And the name of his city was Avith. ⁴⁷When Hadad died, Samlah from Masrekah reigned in his place. ⁴⁸When Samlah died, Shaul from Rehoboth on the Euphrates reigned in his place. ⁴⁹When Shaul died, Baal-hanan son of Achbor reigned in his place. ⁵⁰When Baal-hanan died, Hadad reigned in his place. His city was named Pau, and his wife’s name was Mehetabel daughter of Matred, the daughter of Me-zahab.

⁵¹Then Hadad died. ⁵²Now the chiefs of Edom were Timna, Alvah, Jetheth, Oholibamah, Elah, Pinon, ⁵³Kenaz, Teman, Mibzar, ⁵⁴Magdiel, and Iram. These were the chiefs of Edom.
