1 Ovo su potomci Ezava, koji se zvao i Edom.

2 Ezav je uzeo sebi žene od kanaanskih djevojaka: Adu, kćer Hetita Elona; Oholibamu, kćer Ane, unuku Sibeona Horijca;

3 i Basematu, kćer Jišmaelovu, sestru Nebajotovu.

4 Ada Ezavu rodi Elifaza, a Basemata rodi Reuela,

5 Oholibama rodi Jeuša, Jalama i Koraha. To su Ezavovi sinovi koji se rodiše u zemlji kanaanskoj.

6 Ezav uzme svoje žene, svoje sinove, svoje kćeri, svu čeljad svoga doma; svoju stoku - krupnu i sitnu; svu imovinu što ju je namakao u zemlji kanaanskoj, pa ode u zemlju seirsku, daleko od svog brata Jakova.

7 Njihov se, naime, posjed jako uvećao te nisu mogli ostati zajedno: kraj u kojem su boravili nije ih mogao izdržavati zbog njihova blaga.

8 Tako se Ezav - Edom nazvani - naseli u brdskom kraju Seiru.

9 Ovo je, dakle, potomstvo Ezava, praoca Edomaca, u brdskom kraju Seiru.

10 Ovo su imena Ezavovih sinova: Elifaz, sin Ezavove žene Ade; Reuel, sin Ezavove žene Basemate.

11 Elifazovi su sinovi bili: Teman, Omar, Sefo, Gatam i Kenaz.

12 Timna je bila inoča Ezavova sina Elifaza; ona je Elifazu rodila Amaleka. To su potomci Ezavove žene Ade.

13 A ovo su sinovi Reuelovi: Nahat, Zerah, Šama i Miza. Oni su bili sinovi Ezavove žene Basemate.

14 A ovo su opet sinovi Ezavove žene Oholibame, Anine kćeri, unuke Sibeonove; ona je Ezavu rodila Jeuša, Jalama i Koraha.

15 Ovo su rodovske glave Ezavovih potomaka. Potomci Ezavova prvorođenca Elifaza: knez Teman, knez Omar, knez Sefo, knez Kenaz,

16 knez Korah, knez Gatam i knez Amalek. To su rodovski glavari Elifazovi u zemlji edomskoj; to su potomci Adini.

17 A ovo su potomci Ezavova sina Reuela: knez Nahat, knez Zerah, knez Šama i knez Miza. To su rodovski glavari Reuelovi u zemlji edomskoj; to su potomci Ezavove žene Basemate.

18 A ovo su potomci Ezavove žene Oholibame: knez Jeuš, knez Jalam i knez Korah. To su rodovski glavari Ezavove žene Oholibame, kćeri Anine.

19 To su bili sinovi Ezava-Edoma, njihovi knezovi.

20 A ovo su sinovi Seira Horijca, žitelji one zemlje: Lotan, Šobal, Sibeon, Ana,

21 Dišon, Eser i Dišan. To su koljenovići Horijci, sinovi Seirovi, u zemlji edomskoj.

22 Lotanovi sinovi bili su: Hori i Hemam; a sestra Lotanova bila je Timna.

23 Ovo su bili sinovi Šobalovi: Alvan, Manahat, Ebal, Šefo i Onam.

24 Sinovi Sibeonovi bijahu Aja i Ana. Ana je onaj koji je našao vruća vrela u pustari dok je čuvao magarad svoga oca Sibeona.

25 Ovo su bila djeca Ane: sin Dišon i Anina kći Oholibama.

26 Ovo su bili sinovi Dišonovi: Hemdan, Ešban, Jitran i Keran.

27 Ovo su bili sinovi Eserovi: Bilhan, Zaavan i Akan.

28 A sinovi Dišanovi bili su: Uz i Aran.

29 Ovo su knezovi Horijaca: knez Lotan, knez Šobal, knez Sibeon, knez Ana,

30 knez Dišon, knez Eser i knez Dišan. To su bili knezovi Horijaca, glavar za glavarom, u zemlji seirskoj.

31 Evo kraljeva koji su kraljevali u edomskoj zemlji prije nego je zavladao kralj sinova Izraelovih.

32 Beorov sin Bela vladao je u Edomu; njegov se grad zvao Dinhaba.

33 Kad je umro Bela, na njegovo se mjesto zakraljio Jobab, sin Zeraha iz Bosre.

34 Kad je umro Jobab, zakraljio se na njegovo mjesto Hušam iz temanske zemlje.

35 Kad je umro Hušam, zakraljio se na njegovo mjesto Bedadov sin Hadad, koji je potukao Midjance na Moapskom polju. Ime je njegovu gradu bilo Avit.

36 Kad je umro Hadad, zakraljio se na njegovo mjesto Samla iz Masreke.

37 Kad je umro Samla, zakraljio se na njegovo mjesto Šaul iz Rehobota na Rijeci.

38 Kad umrije Šaul, zavlada Baal Hanan, Akborov sin.

39 Kad je umro Baal Hanan, Akborov sin, vladaše Hadad. Ime je njegovu gradu bilo Pai. Žena mu se zvala Mehetabela. Bila je kći Matredova, iz Me Zahaba.

40 Ovo su imena Ezavovih knezova s njihovim nazivima po rodovima i smještaju: knez Timna, knez Alva, knez Jetet,

41 knez Oholibama, knez Ela, knez Pinon,

42 knez Kenaz, knez Teman, knez Mibzar,

43 knez Magdiel i knez Iram. To su bili knezovi edomski, prema njihovim naseljima u zemlji koju su zaposjeli. To je Ezav, praotac Edomaca.

3263. 'These are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son' means derivatives of the spiritual Church represented by Ishmael. This is clear from the meaning of 'generations' as derivatives of faith and so of the Church, dealt with in 1145, 1255, 1330; from the representation of 'Ishmael' as those who are rational, and who belong to the Lord's spiritual Church, dealt with in 2078, 2691, 2699; and from the meaning of Abraham's sons as those with whom truth from the Lord is present, for 'sons' means truths, 489, 491, 533, 1147, 2623, and 'Abraham' represents the Lord, even as to the Divine Human, 3251, the source of truth and good received by those who are spiritual, 2661, 2716, 2833, 2834.

[2] As regards the Lord's spiritual Church it should be realized that it exists throughout the whole world, for it is not confined to those who possess the Word and from the Word have knowledge of the Lord and of some truths of faith. It also exists among those who do not possess the Word and therefore do not know the Lord at all, and as a consequence have no knowledge of any truths of faith - for all truths of faith regard the Lord. That is, it exists with gentiles remote from the Church. For among those people there are many who know from the light of reason that there is one God, that He has created and preserves all things; and also that He is the source of everything good, and consequently of everything true; and that being the likeness of Him makes a person blessed. And what is more, they live up to their religion, in love to that God and in love towards the neighbour. From an affection for good they perform the works of charity, and from an affection for truth they worship the Supreme Being. Such people among the gentiles belong to the Lord's spiritual Church. And although they do not know the Lord while they are in the world they nevertheless have within themselves a worship and virtual acknowledgement of Him when good exists within them, for the Lord is present within all good. For this reason also they acknowledge the Lord in the next life without difficulty, and receive the truths of faith better than Christians do in whom good is not so much present, as may be seen from what has been disclosed from experience about the state and condition in the next life of nations and peoples outside the Church, in 2589-2604. Their natural light present in their minds holds spiritual light within it, for without spiritual light received from the Lord such truths cannot possibly be acknowledged.

[3] From this it may now become clear what Ishmael means, and therefore what the Ishmaelites mean, in the representative sense - those belonging to the Lord's spiritual Church who lead lives of simple goodness and therefore rely on natural truth for doctrine. Such people are also meant by the Ishmaelites in the following statement regarding Joseph,

Behold, a band of Ishmaelites came from Gilead, and their camels bearing wax, resin, and stacte, taking them down into Egypt. Genesis 37:25.

Here 'Ishmaelites' stands for those in whom simple good is present, such as exists with upright gentiles. 'Camels bearing wax, resin, and stacte' stands for the interior goods of such people. The same is meant by the Ishmaelites mentioned in verse 28 of that chapter, and in 39:1, as well as in the Book of Judges, in the reference to Gideon's requesting everyone to give him the earrings of his spoil, for being indeed Ishmaelites they had gold earrings, Judges 8:24. 'Gold earrings' means the things that constitute simple good, 3103.
