1 Dette er Esaus eller Edoms ætt.

2 Esau tok sig hustruer av Kana'ans døtre: Ada, hetitten Elons datter, og Oholibama, Anas datter, hevitten Sibeons sønnedatter,

3 og Basmat, Ismaels datter, Nebajots søster.

4 Med Ada fikk Esau Elifas, og med Basmat e'uel,

5 og med Oholibama fikk han Je'us og Jalam og Korah; dette var Esaus sønner, som han fikk i Kana'ans land.

6 Og Esau tok sine hustruer, sine sønner og døtre og alt sitt husfolk og sin buskap og alle sine kløvdyr og alt sitt gods som han hadde samlet i Kana'ans land, og drog til et annet land for sin bror Jakobs skyld.

7 For deres eiendom var for stor til at de kunde bo sammen - det land som de bodde i som fremmede, kunde ikke rumme dem, så stor buskap hadde de.

8 Så bosatte Esau sig i Se'ir-fjellene - Esau, det er den samme som Edom.

9 Og dette er Esaus ætt i Se'irfjellene, han som var stamfar til edomittene.

10 Dette er navneneEsaus sønner: Elifas, sønn av Esaus hustru Ada, og e'uel, sønn av Esaus hustru Basmat.

11 Og Elifas' sønner var Teman, Omar, Sefo, Gatam og Kenas.

12 Og Elifas, Esaus sønn, hadde en medhustru som hette Timna, og med henne fikk Elifas Amalek. Dette var Esaus hustru Adas sønner.

13 Og dette var e'uels sønner: Nahat og Serah, Samma og Missa. Dette var Esaus hustru Basmats sønner.

14 Og dette var sønnene til Oholibama, Anas datter, Sibeons sønnedatter, Esaus hustru: Med henne fikk Esau Je'us og Jalam og Korah.

15 Dette var stammefyrstene for Esaus barn: Sønnene til Esaus eldste sønn Elifas var stammefyrsten Teman, stammefyrsten Omar, stammefyrsten Sefo, stammefyrsten Kenas,

16 stammefyrsten Korah, stammefyrsten Gatam, stammefyrsten Amalek; dette var de stammefyrster som nedstammet fra Elifas i Edom-landet. Dette var Adas sønner.

17 Og dette var sønnene til Esaus sønn e'uel: stammefyrsten Nahat, stammefyrsten Serah, stammefyrsten Samma, stammefyrsten Missa, dette var de stammefyrster som nedstammet fra e'uel i Edom-landet. Dette var Esaus hustru Basmats sønner.

18 Og dette var Esaus hustru Oholibamas sønner: stammefyrsten Je'usj stammefyrsten Jalam, stammefyrsten Korah; dette var de stammefyrster som nedstammet fra Oholibama, Anas datter, Esaus hustru.

19 Dette var Esaus sønner, og dette deres stammefyrster. Dette var Edom.

20 Dette var horitten Se'irs sønner, som bodde i landet: Lotan og Sobal og Sibeon og Ana

21 og Dison og Eser og Disan; dette var horittenes stammefyrster, Se'irs sønner i Edom-landet.

22 Og Lotans sønner var Hori og Hemam, og Lotans søster var Timna.

23 Og dette var Sobals sønner: Alvan og Manahat og Ebal, Sefo og Onam.

26 Og dette var Disons sønner: Hemdan og Esban og Jitran og Keran.

27 Dette var Esers sønner: Bilhan og Sa'avan og Akan.

28 Dette var Disans sønner: Us og Aran.

29 Dette var horittenes stammefyrster: stammefyrsten Lotan, stammefyrsten Sobal, stammefyrsten Sibeon, stammefyrsten Ana,

30 stammefyrsten Dison, stammefyrsten Eser, stammefyrsten Disan; dette var horittenes stammefyrster, deres stammefyrster i Se'ir-landet.

31 Og dette var de konger som regjerte i Edom-landet før det regjerte nogen konge over Israels barn:

32 Bela, Beors sønn, var konge i Edom, og hans by hette Dinhaba.

33 Da Bela døde, blev Jobab, Serahs sønn, fra Bosra konge i hans sted.

3246. 'And to the concubines' sons, whom Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts' means that places in the Lord's spiritual kingdom were allotted to spiritual people adopted by the Lord's Divine Human. This is clear from the meaning of 'the concubines' sons' as those who are spiritual, to be dealt with below; from the representation of 'Abraham' here as the Lord's Divine Human (so that the words 'whom Abraham had' mean that they - those who were spiritual - were adopted by the Lord's Divine Human); and from the meaning of 'the gifts which Abraham gave them' as allotted places in the Lord's spiritual kingdom.

[2] From what has been shown several times already about those who constitute the Lord's spiritual kingdom and who are called the spiritual, as in 3235 and elsewhere, it becomes clear that they are not sons of the marriage itself of good and truth, but of a certain covenant not so conjugial. They are indeed descended from the same father but not from the same mother, that is, from the same Divine Good but not from the same Divine Truth. Indeed with those who are celestial, since they are the product of the marriage itself of good and truth, good exists and truth rooted in that good. They never make investigations into what the truth may be but have a perception of it from good. Nor in conversation do they say more than this regarding what is true, 'Yes, that is so', in keeping with the Lord's teaching in Matthew,

Let your words be Yes, yes; No, no; anything beyond this is from evil. 1 Matthew 5:37.

But those who are spiritual, since they are the product of a covenant not so conjugial, do not have any perception from which they can know what is true. Instead they call that the truth which parents and teachers have told them to be the truth. Consequently with them there is no marriage of good and truth. Nevertheless that which they believe to be the truth for the reason just given is adopted by the Lord as truth when goodness of life exists with them; see 1832. This now explains why the spiritual are here called 'the concubines' sons', which is used to mean all the sons of Keturah mentioned already, and also those descended from Hagar, dealt with shortly below in verses 12-18.

[3] In former times - to enable both those who are celestial and those who are spiritual to be represented in marriages - a man was allowed to have a concubine in addition to a wife. That concubine was given to the husband by his wife (uxor), in which case the concubine was called his wife (mulier), or was said to have been given to him as a wife (mulier), as when Hagar the Egyptian was given to Abraham by Sarah, Genesis 16:3, when the servant-girl Bilhah was given to Jacob by Rachel, Genesis 30:4, and when the servant-girl Zilpah was given to Jacob by Leah, Genesis 30:9. In those cases they are called 'wives' (mulier), but elsewhere concubines, as is Hagar the Egyptian in the present verse, Bilhah in Genesis 35:22, and even Keturah herself in 1 Chronicles 1:32.

[4] The reason why those men of old had concubines in addition to a wife, as not only Abraham and Jacob did, but also their descendants, such as Gideon, Judges 8:31; Saul, 2 Samuel 3:7; David, 2 Samuel 5:13; 15:16; Solomon, 1 Kings 11:3, was that they were permitted to do so for the sake of the representation. That is to say, the celestial Church was represented by the wife, and the spiritual Church by the concubine. They were permitted to do so because they were the kind of men with whom conjugial love did not exist; so that to them marriage was not marriage but merely copulation for the sake of begetting off-spring. With such persons those permissions were possible without any harm being done to love or consequently to the conjugial covenant. But such permissions are never possible among people with whom good and truth are present and who are internal people, or potentially so. For as soon as good and truth, and internal things, exist with the human being, such permissions come to an end. This is why Christians are not allowed, as the Jews were, to take a concubine in addition to a wife, and why such is adultery. Regarding the adoption of those who are spiritual by the Lord's Divine Human, see what has been stated and shown already on the same subject in 2661, 2716, 2833, 2834.
