“You whose name is Jacob,
You shall be called Jacob no more,
But Israel shall be your name.” Thus he was named Israel. (11) And God said to him,
“I am El Shaddai.*El Shaddai Cf. 17.1.
Be fertile and increase;
A nation, yea an assembly of nations,
Shall descend from you.
Kings shall issue from your loins.
(12) The land that I assigned to Abraham and Isaac
I assign to you;
And to your offspring to come
Will I assign the land.” (13) God parted from him at the spot where [God] had spoken to him; (14) and Jacob set up a pillar at the site where [God] had spoken to him, a pillar of stone, and he offered a libation on it and poured oil upon it. (15) Jacob gave the site, where God had spoken to him, the name of Bethel. (16) They set out from Bethel; but when they were still some distance short of Ephrath, Rachel was in childbirth, and she had hard labor. (17) When her labor was at its hardest, the midwife said to her, “Have no fear, for it is another boy for you.” (18) But as she breathed her last—for she was dying—she named him Ben-oni;*Ben-oni Understood as “son of my suffering (or, strength).” but his father called him Benjamin.*Benjamin I.e., “son of the right hand,” or “son of the south.” (19) Thus Rachel died. She was buried on the road to Ephrath—now Bethlehem. (20) Over her grave Jacob set up a pillar; it is the pillar at Rachel’s grave to this day. (21) Israel journeyed on, and pitched his tent beyond Migdal-eder. (22) While Israel stayed in that land, Reuben went and lay with Bilhah, his father’s concubine; and Israel found out. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve in number. (23) The sons of Leah: Reuben—Jacob’s first-born—Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun. (24) The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin. (25) The sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s maid: Dan and Naphtali. (26) And the sons of Zilpah, Leah’s maid: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan-aram. (27) And Jacob came to his father Isaac at Mamre, at Kiriath-arba—now Hebron—where Abraham and Isaac had sojourned. (28) Isaac was a hundred and eighty years old (29) when he breathed his last and died. He*He Lit. “Isaac.” was gathered to his kin*kin (So NJPS.) See the Dictionary under “predecessors.” in ripe old age; and he was buried by his sons Esau and Jacob. (1) This is the line of Esau—that is, Edom. (2) Esau took his wives from among the Canaanite women—Adah daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah daughter of Anah daughter of Zibeon the Hivite*Hivite Cf. v. 20, “Horite.” — (3) and also Basemath daughter of Ishmael and sister of Nebaioth. (4) Adah bore to Esau Eliphaz; Basemath bore Reuel; (5) and Oholibamah bore Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. Those were the sons of Esau, who were born to him in the land of Canaan. (6) Esau took his wives, his sons and daughters, and all the members of his household, his cattle and all his livestock, and all the property that he had acquired in the land of Canaan, and went to another land because of his brother Jacob. (7) For their possessions were too many for them to dwell together, and the land where they sojourned could not support them because of their livestock. (8) So Esau settled in the hill country of Seir—Esau being Edom. (9) This, then, is the line of Esau, the ancestor of the Edomites, in the hill country of Seir. (10) These are the names of Esau’s sons: Eliphaz, the son of Esau’s wife Adah; Reuel, the son of Esau’s wife Basemath. (11) The sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz. (12) Timna was a concubine of Esau’s son Eliphaz; she bore Amalek to Eliphaz. Those were the descendants of Esau’s wife Adah. (13) And these were the sons of Reuel: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. Those were the descendants of Esau’s wife Basemath. (14) And these were the sons of Esau’s wife Oholibamah, daughter of Anah daughter of Zibeon: she bore to Esau Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. (15) These are the clans of the sons of Esau. The descendants of Esau’s first-born Eliphaz: the clans Teman, Omar, Zepho, Kenaz, (16) Korah, Gatam, and Amalek; these are the clans of Eliphaz in the land of Edom. Those are the descendants of Adah. (17) And these are the descendants of Esau’s son Reuel: the clans Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah; these are the clans of Reuel in the land of Edom. Those are the descendants of Esau’s wife Basemath. (18) And these are the descendants of Esau’s wife Oholibamah: the clans Jeush, Jalam, and Korah; these are the clans of Esau’s wife Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah. (19) Those were the sons of Esau—that is, Edom—and those are their clans. (20) These were the sons of Seir the Horite, who were settled in the land: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, (21) Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan. Those are the clans of the Horites, the descendants of Seir, in the land of Edom. (22) The sons of Lotan were Hori and Hemam; and Lotan’s sister was Timna. (23) The sons of Shobal were these: Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho, and Onam. (24) The sons of Zibeon were these: Aiah*Aiah Heb. “and Aiah.” and Anah—that was the Anah who discovered the hot springs*hot springs Meaning of Heb. yemim uncertain. in the wilderness while pasturing the asses of his father Zibeon. (25) The children of Anah were these: Dishon and Anah’s daughter Oholibamah. (26) The sons of Dishon*Dishon Heb. Dishan; but cf. vv. 21, 25, 28, and 30, and 1 Chron. 1.41. were these: Hemdan, Eshban, Ithran, and Cheran. (27) The sons of Ezer were these: Bilhan, Zaavan, and Akan. (28) And the sons of Dishan were these: Uz and Aran. (29) These are the clans of the Horites: the clans Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, (30) Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan. Those are the clans of the Horites, clan by clan, in the land of Seir. (31) These are the kings who reigned in the land of Edom before any king reigned over the Israelites. (32) Bela son of Beor reigned in Edom, and the name of his city was Dinhabah. (33) When Bela died, Jobab son of Zerah, from Bozrah, succeeded him as king. (34) When Jobab died, Husham of the land of the Temanites succeeded him as king. (35) When Husham died, Hadad son of Bedad, who defeated the Midianites in the country of Moab, succeeded him as king; the name of his city was Avith. (36) When Hadad died, Samlah of Masrekah succeeded him as king. (37) When Samlah died, Saul*Saul Or “Shaul.” of Rehoboth-on-the-river succeeded him as king. (38) When Saul died, Baal-hanan son of Achbor succeeded him as king. (39) And when Baal-hanan son of Achbor died, Hadar succeeded him as king; the name of his city was Pau, and his wife’s name was Mehetabel daughter of Matred daughter of Me-zahab. (40) These are the names of the clans of Esau, each with its families and locality, name by name: the clans Timna, Alvah, Jetheth, (41) Oholibamah, Elah, Pinon, (42) Kenaz, Teman, Mibzar, (43) Magdiel, and Iram. Those are the clans of Edom—that is, of Esau, father of the Edomites—by their settlements in the land which they hold.

(1) The prophecy of Obadiah.
We have received tidings from GOD,
And an envoy has been sent out among the nations:
“Up! Let us rise up against her for battle.”
Thus said the Sovereign GOD concerning Edom: (2) I will make you least among nations,
You shall be most despised. (3) Your arrogant heart has seduced you,
You who dwell in clefts of the rock,
In your lofty abode.
You think in your heart,
“Who can pull me down to earth?” (4) Should you nest as high as the eagle,
Should your eyrie be lodged ’mong the stars,
Even from there I will pull you down
—declares GOD. (5) If thieves were to come to you,
Marauders by night,
They would steal no more than they needed.
If vintagers came to you,
They would surely leave some gleanings.
How utterly you are destroyed! (6) How thoroughly rifled is Esau,aEsau I.e., the Edomites, descendants of Jacob’s twin brother; cf. Gen. 36.1.
How ransacked his hoards! (7) All your allies turned you back
At the frontier;
Your own confederates
Have duped and overcome you;
[Those who ate] your bread
Have planted snares under you.
He is bereft of understanding. (8) In that day
—declares GOD —
I will make the wise vanish from Edom,
Understanding from Esau’s mount. (9) Your warriors shall lose heart, O Teman,
And no one on Esau’s mount
Shall survive the slaughter. (10) For the outrage to your brother Jacob,
Disgrace shall engulf you,
And you shall perish forever. (11) On that day when you stood aloof,
When aliens carried off his goods,
When foreigners entered his gates
And cast lots for Jerusalem,
You were as one of them. (12) How could youbHow could you Lit. “Do not,” and so through v. 14. gaze with glee
On your brother that day,
On his day of calamity!
How could you gloat
Over the people of Judah
On that day of ruin!
How could you loudly jeer
On a day of anguish! (13) How could you enter the gate of My people
On its day of disaster,
Gaze in glee with the others
On its misfortune
On its day of disaster,
And lay hands on its wealth
On its day of disaster! (14) How could you stand at the passescpasses Meaning of Heb. uncertain.
To cut down its fugitives!
How could you betray those who fled
On that day of anguish! (15) As you did, so shall it be done to you;
Your conduct shall be requited.
Yea, against all nations
The day of GOD is at hand. (16) That same cup that youdyou I.e., the Israelites. drank on My Holy Mount
Shall all nations drink evermore,eevermore Emendation yields “at My hand,” cf. Isa. 51.17; Jer. 25.15; Ps. 75.9.
Drink till their speech grows thick,
And they become as though they had never been. (17) But on Zion’s mount a remnant shall survive,
And it shall be holy.fholy I.e., inviolate; cf. Jer. 2.3.
The House of Jacob shall dispossess
Those who dispossessed them. (18) The House of Jacob shall be fire,
And the House of Joseph flame,
And the House of Esau shall be straw;
They shall burn it and devour it,
And no survivor shall be left of the House of Esau
—for GOD has spoken. (19) gMeaning of parts of vv. 19–21 uncertain. Thus they shall possess the Negeb and Mount Esau as well, the Shephelah and Philistia. They shall possess the Ephraimite country and the district of Samaria,hdistrict of Samaria After the exile of the northern tribes, the city and district of Samaria were occupied mainly by non-Israelites. and BenjaminiBenjamin Emendation yields “the land of the Ammonites.” along with Gilead. (20) And that exiled force of Israelites [shall possess] what belongs to the Phoenicians as far as Zarephath,jZarephath A town in southern Phoenicia; see 1 Kings 17.9. while the Jerusalemite exile community of SepharadkSepharad Probably Asia Minor, called Saparda in Persian cuneiform inscriptions. shall possess the towns of the Negeb. (21) For liberators shall march uplliberators shall march up Several ancient versions read “they [the exiles from Jerusalem named in the preceding verse] shall march up victorious.” on Mount Zion to wreak judgment on Mount Esau; and dominion shall be GOD’s.
