Bible Verses About Esau

The sons of Etzer: Bilhan, Za'avan and Ya'akan. The sons of Dishan: 'Utz and Aran.

Following are the kings who ruled in the land of Edom before any king ruled over the people of Isra'el: Bela the son of B'or; the name of his city was Dinhavah.

After Bela died, Yovav the son of Zerach from Botzrah took his place as king.

After Yovav died, Husham from the land of the Temani took his place as king.

After Husham died, Hadad the son of B'dad, who attacked Midyan on the plains of Mo'av, took his place as king; the name of his city was 'Avit.

After Hadad died, Samlah from Masrekah took his place as king.

After Samlah died, Sha'ul from Rechovot-by-the-River took his place as king.

After Sha'ul died, Ba'al-Hanan the son of 'Akhbor took his place as king.

After Ba'al-Hanan died, Hadad took his place as king; the name of his city was Pa'i; his wife's name was M'heitav'el the daughter of Matred the daughter of Mei-Zahav.

Then Hadad died. The chieftains of Edom were: the chieftains of Timnah, 'Alvah, Y'tet,

Oholivamah, Elah, Pinon,

Kenaz, Teman, Mivtzar,

Magdi'el and 'Iram. These were the chieftains of Edom.

"When that Day comes," says ADONAI, "won't I destroy all the wise men of Edom and leave no discernment on Mount 'Esav?

Your warriors, Teman, will be so distraught that everyone on Mount 'Esav will be slaughtered.

For the violence done to your kinsman Ya'akov, shame will cover you; and you will be forever cut off.

On that day you stood aside, while strangers carried off his treasure, and foreigners entered his gates to cast lots for Yerushalayim - you were no different from them.

You shouldn't have gloated over your kinsman on their day of disaster or rejoiced over the people of Y'hudah on their day of destruction. You shouldn't have spoken arrogantly on a day of trouble

or entered the gate of my people on their day of calamity - no, you shouldn't have gloated over their suffering on their day of calamity or laid hands on their treasure on their day of calamity.

You shouldn't have stood at the crossroads to cut down their fugitives or handed over their survivors on a day of trouble."

The house of Ya'akov will be a fire and the house of Yosef a flame, setting aflame and consuming the stubble which is the house of 'Esav. None of the house of 'Esav will remain, for ADONAI has spoken.

Those in the Negev will repossess the mountain of 'Esav, and those in the Sh'felah the land of the P'lishtim; they will repossess the field of Efrayim and the field of Shomron, and Binyamin will occupy Gil'ad.
