Chapter 36 of Genesis—New World Translation (NWT)

  1. ¶ And this is the history of Eʹsau, that is to say, Eʹdom.1
  2. ¶ Eʹsau took his wives from the daughters of Caʹnaan:2 Aʹdah3 the daughter of Eʹlon the Hitʹtite4 and O·hol·i·baʹmah5 the daughter of Aʹnah, the granddaughter[a] of Zibʹe·on the Hiʹvite,
  3. and Basʹe·math,6 Ishʹma·el’s daughter, the sister of Ne·baʹioth.7
  4. ¶ And Aʹdah proceeded to bear Elʹi·phaz to Eʹsau, and Basʹe·math bore Reuʹel,
  5. and O·hol·i·baʹmah bore Jeʹush and Jaʹlam and Koʹrah.8
    ¶ These are the sons of Eʹsau who were born to him in the land of Caʹnaan.
  6. After that Eʹsau took his wives and his sons and his daughters and all the souls of his house and his herd and all his other beasts and all his wealth,9 which he had accumulated in the land of Caʹnaan, and went to a land[b] away from Jacob his brother,10
  7. because their goods had become too great for them to dwell together and the land of their alien residences was not able to sustain them as a result of their herds.11
  8. So Eʹsau took up dwelling in the mountainous region of Seʹir.12 Eʹsau is Eʹdom.13
  9. ¶ And this is the history of Eʹsau the father of Eʹdom in the mountainous region of Seʹir.14
  10. ¶ These are the names of the sons of Eʹsau: Elʹi·phaz the son of Aʹdah, Eʹsau’s wife; Reuʹel the son of Basʹe·math, Eʹsau’s wife.15
  11. ¶ And the sons of Elʹi·phaz came to be Teʹman,16 Oʹmar, Zeʹpho and Gaʹtam and Keʹnaz.17
  12. And Timʹna18 became the concubine of Elʹi·phaz, Eʹsau’s son. In time she bore to Elʹi·phaz Amʹa·lek.19 These are the sons of Aʹdah, Eʹsau’s wife.
  13. ¶ These are the sons of Reuʹel: Naʹhath and Zeʹrah, Shamʹmah and Mizʹzah.20 These came to be the sons[c] of Basʹe·math,21 Eʹsau’s wife.
  14. ¶ And these came to be the sons of O·hol·i·baʹmah the daughter of Aʹnah, the granddaughter of Zibʹe·on, Eʹsau’s wife, in that she bore to Eʹsau Jeʹush and Jaʹlam and Koʹrah.22
  15. ¶ These are the sheiks[d]23 of the sons of Eʹsau: The sons of Elʹi·phaz, Eʹsau’s firstborn: Sheik Teʹman,24 sheik Oʹmar, sheik Zeʹpho, sheik Keʹnaz,
  16. sheik Koʹrah,[e] sheik Gaʹtam, sheik Amʹa·lek. These are the sheiks of Elʹi·phaz25 in the land of Eʹdom. These are the sons by Aʹdah.
  17. ¶ These are the sons of Reuʹel, Eʹsau’s son: Sheik Naʹhath, sheik Zeʹrah, sheik Shamʹmah, sheik Mizʹzah. These are the sheiks of Reuʹel in the land of Eʹdom.26 These are the sons by Basʹe·math, Eʹsau’s wife.
  18. ¶ Finally these are the sons of O·hol·i·baʹmah, Eʹsau’s wife: Sheik Jeʹush, sheik Jaʹlam, sheik Koʹrah. These are the sheiks of O·hol·i·baʹmah the daughter of Aʹnah, Eʹsau’s wife.
  19. ¶ These are the sons of Eʹsau, and these are their sheiks. He is Eʹdom.27
  20. ¶ These are the sons of Seʹir the Horʹite, the inhabitants of the land:28 Loʹtan and Shoʹbal and Zibʹe·on and Aʹnah29
  21. and Diʹshon and Eʹzer and Diʹshan.30 These are the sheiks of the Horʹite, the sons of Seʹir, in the land of Eʹdom.
  22. ¶ And the sons of Loʹtan came to be Hoʹri and Heʹmam; and Loʹtan’s sister was Timʹna.31
  23. ¶ And these are the sons of Shoʹbal: Alʹvan and Manʹa·hath and Eʹbal, Sheʹpho and Oʹnam.
  24. ¶ And these are the sons of Zibʹe·on: Aʹiah and Aʹnah. This is the Aʹnah who found the hot springs[f] in the wilderness while he was tending the asses for Zibʹe·on his father.32
  25. ¶ And these are the children of Aʹnah: Diʹshon and O·hol·i·baʹmah the daughter of Aʹnah.
  26. ¶ And these are the sons of Diʹshon:[g] Hemʹdan and Eshʹban and Ithʹran and Cheʹran.33
  27. ¶ These are the sons of Eʹzer: Bilʹhan and Zaʹa·van and Aʹkan.
  28. ¶ These are the sons of Diʹshan: Uz and Aʹran.34
  29. ¶ These are the sheiks of the Horʹite: Sheik Loʹtan, sheik Shoʹbal, sheik Zibʹe·on, sheik Aʹnah,
  30. sheik Diʹshon, sheik Eʹzer, sheik Diʹshan.35 These are the sheiks of the Horʹite according to their sheiks in the land of Seʹir.
  31. ¶ Now these are the kings who reigned in the land of Eʹdom36 before any king reigned over the sons of Israel.37
  32. And Beʹla son of Beʹor proceeded to reign in Eʹdom,38 and the name of his city was Dinʹha·bah.
  33. When Beʹla died, Joʹbab son of Zeʹrah from Bozʹrah39 began to reign instead of him.40
  34. When Joʹbab died, Huʹsham from the land of the Teʹman·ites41 began to reign instead of him.42
  35. When Huʹsham died, Haʹdad son of Beʹdad, who defeated the Midʹi·an·ites43 in the field of Moʹab,44 began to reign instead of him, and the name of his city was Aʹvith.45
  36. When Haʹdad died, Samʹlah from Mas·reʹkah began to reign instead of him.46
  37. When Samʹlah died, Shaʹul from Re·hoʹboth by the River began to reign instead of him.47
  38. When Shaʹul died, Baʹal-haʹnan son of Achʹbor began to reign instead of him.48
  39. When Baʹal-haʹnan son of Achʹbor died, Haʹdar began to reign instead of him; and the name of his city was Paʹu, and the name of his wife was Me·hetʹa·bel the daughter of Maʹtred the daughter of Meʹza·hab.49
  40. ¶ So these are the names of the sheiks of Eʹsau according to their families, according to their places, by their names: Sheik Timʹna, sheik Alʹvah, sheik Jeʹtheth,50
  41. sheik O·hol·i·baʹmah, sheik Eʹlah, sheik Piʹnon,51
  42. sheik Keʹnaz, sheik Teʹman, sheik Mibʹzar,52
  43. sheik Magʹdi·el, sheik Iʹram. These are the sheiks of Eʹdom53 according to their dwellings in the land of their possession.54 This is Eʹsau the father of Eʹdom.55

    The NWT adds words to the text that are not in the greek Manuscripts to fit it's own doctrinal position for example

    Compare the wording of the NWT and the NKJV at Colossians 1:15-17

    NKJV says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

    NWT says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God,the firstborn OF all creation;16 because by means of him all OTHER things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible,whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All OTHER things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all OTHER things,and by means of him all OTHER things were made to exist,

    The word “other” is not in the Greek but they add it Why? So they can decieve their followers into thinking that Christ was created by the Father and that he then created other things, that is not what the Greek says.

      Truth is from God and those that follow him. As for lies? John8:44

      Kiamia, I noticed you used a modern version of kjv to make your point about the nwt.

      Why didn’t you use the original kjv of col1:15?

      Is it because it disproves your point? It proves the opposite of what you wrote?

      Here is kjv col1:15 ¶” Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn OF every creature:“

      Now I appeal to your Christian nature to correct your mistake as God is watching each of us, and let us bless the God of Jesus his father.

      Kjv 1Pe 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ….

    Joshua, Jehovah’s Witnesses have never denied the deity of the Messiah in his prehuman existence. While on Earth he was fully 100% human. I do not mean he was a mere human, he was not affected by Adam’s unfaithful behavior, he was sinless.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
