Genesis 36:31-39  New English Translation

31 These were the kings who reigned in the land of Edom before any king ruled over the Israelites:[a]

32 Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom; the name of his city was Dinhabah.

33 When Bela died, Jobab the son of Zerah from Bozrah reigned in his place.

34 When Jobab died, Husham from the land of the Temanites reigned in his place.

35 When Husham died, Hadad the son of Bedad, who defeated the Midianites in the land of Moab, reigned in his place; the name of his city was Avith.

36 When Hadad died, Samlah from Masrekah reigned in his place.

37 When Samlah died, Shaul from Rehoboth on the River[b] reigned in his place.

38 When Shaul died, Baal Hanan the son of Achbor reigned in his place.

39 When Baal Hanan the son of Achbor died, Hadad[c] reigned in his place; the name of his city was Pau.[d] His wife’s name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Me-Zahab.

Footnotes

  1. Genesis 36:31 tn Or perhaps “before any Israelite king ruled over [them].”
  2. Genesis 36:37 tn Typically the Hebrew expression “the River” refers to the Euphrates River, but it is not certain whether that is the case here. Among the modern English versions which take this as a reference to the Euphrates are NASB, NCV, NRSV, CEV, NLT. Cf. NAB, TEV “Rehoboth-on-the-River.”
  3. Genesis 36:39 tc Most mss of the MT read “Hadar” here; “Hadad” is the reading found in some Hebrew mss, Smr, and Syriac (cf. also 1 Chr 1:50).
  4. Genesis 36:39 tn The name of the city is given as “Pai” in 1 Chr 1:50.
