36 Nantsi imbali kaEsawu, okwabizwa ngokuba nguEdom.+
2 UEsawu wabathatha ezintombini zakwaKanan abafazi bakhe: UAda+ intombi kaElon umHiti,+ u-Oholibhama+ intombi ka-Anahi, umzukulwana kaTsibheyon umHivi,
3 noBhasemati,+ intombi kaIshmayeli, udadeboNebhayoti.+
4 UAda wazalela uEsawu uElifazi, waza uBhasemati wazala uRehuweli,
5 yena uOholibhama wazala uYewushe, uYalam noKora.+
Aba ngoonyana bakaEsawu awabazalelwa elizweni lakwaKanan.
6 Emva koko uEsawu wabathatha abafazi bakhe, oonyana bakhe, iintombi zakhe, bonke abantu bendlu* yakhe, umhlambi wakhe, yonke enye imfuyo yakhe nabo bonke ubutyebi awayebuqwebe+ elizweni lakwaKanan, waya kwelinye elizwe elikude kuYakobi umntakwabo.+
7 Kaloku izinto zabo zaba ninzi kakhulu ukuba bangahlala ndawonye yaye ilizwe ababehlala* kulo lalingasaboneli ngenxa yemihlambi yabo.
8 Ngoko uEsawu wahlala kummandla weentaba wakwaSehire.+ UEsawu lo nguEdom.+
9 Le yimbali kaEsawu utata wamaEdom owayehlala kummandla weentaba wakwaSehire.+
10 Nanga amagama oonyana bakaEsawu: NguElifazi unyana ka-Ada, umfazi kaEsawu, noRehuweli unyana kaBhasemati, umfazi kaEsawu.+

31 Aba balandelayo ngookumkani ababelawula kwilizwe lakwaEdom+ ngaphambi kokuba nawuphi na ukumkani alawule amaSirayeli.*+
32 UBhela unyana kaBhehore walawula kwaEdom, yaye igama lesixeko sakhe yayiyiDinabha.
33 Xa wafayo uBhela, kwalawula uYobhabhi unyana kaZera waseBhotsera endaweni yakhe.
