Genesis 36 Comparison: Catholic Public Domain vs Douay-Rheims
Genesis 36
1Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom.
2Esau took wives from the daughters of Canaan: Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite,
3and Basemath, the daughter of Ishmael, sister of Nebaioth.
4Then Adah bore Eliphaz. Basemath conceived Reuel.
5Oholibamah conceived Jeush, and Jalam, and Korah. These are the sons of Esau, who were born to him in the land of Canaan.
6Then Esau took his wives, and sons, and daughters, and every soul of his house, and his substance, and cattle, and whatever he was able to obtain in the land of Canaan, and he went into another region, withdrawing from his brother Jacob.
7For they were very wealthy and were not able to live together. Neither was the land of their sojourn able to sustain them, because of the multitude of their flocks.
8And Esau lived at mount Seir: he is Edom.
9So these are the generations of Esau, the father of Edom, at mount Seir,
10and these are the names of his sons: Eliphaz the son of Adah, the wife of Esau, likewise Reuel, the son of Basemath, his wife.
11And Eliphaz had sons: Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenez.
12Now Timna was the concubine of Eliphaz, the son of Esau. And she bore him Amalek. These are the sons of Adah, the wife of Esau.
13And the sons of Reuel were Nahath and Zerah, Shammah and Mizzah. These are the sons of Basemath, the wife of Esau.
14Likewise, these were the sons of Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon, the wife of Esau, whom she bore to him: Jeush, and Jalam, and Korah.
15These were leaders of the sons of Esau, the sons of Eliphaz, the firstborn of Esau: leader Teman, leader Omar, leader Zepho, leader Kenez,
16leader Korah, leader Gatam, leader Amalek. These are the sons of Eliphaz, in the land of Edom, and these the sons of Adah.
17Likewise, these are the sons of Reuel, the son of Esau: leader Nahath, leader Zerah, leader Shammah, leader Mizzah. And these were the leaders of Reuel, in the land of Edom. These are the sons of Basemath, the wife of Esau.
18Now these are the sons of Oholibamah, the wife of Esau: leader Jeush, leader Jalam, leader Korah. These were the leaders of Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah and the wife of Esau.
19These are the sons of Esau, and these were their leaders: this is Edom.
20These are the sons of Seir, the Horite, the inhabitants of the land: Lotan, and Shobal, and Zibeon, and Anah,
21and Dishon, and Ezer, and Dishan. These were the leaders of the Horites, the sons of Seir, in the land of Edom.
22Now Lotan produced sons: Hori and Heman. But the sister of Lotan was Timna.
23And these are the sons of Shobal: Alvan, and Manahath, and Ebal, and Shepho, and Onam.
24And these are the sons of Zibeon: Aiah and Anah. This is the Anah who found the hot springs in the wilderness, when he was pasturing the donkeys of his father Zibeon.
25And he had a son Dishon, and a daughter Oholibamah.
26And these are the sons of Dishon: Hemdan, and Esheban, and Ithran, and Cheran.
27Likewise, these are the sons of Ezer: Bilhan, and Zaavan, and Akan.
28Then Dishan had sons: Uz and Aran.
29These were the leaders of the Horites: leader Lotan, leader Shobal, leader Zibeon, leader Anah,
30leader Dishon, leader Ezer, leader Disan. These were leaders of the Horites who ruled in the land of Seir.
31Now before the sons of Israel had a king, the kings who ruled in the land of Edom were these:
32Bela the son of Beor, and the name of his city was Dinhabah.
33Then Bela died, and Jobab, the son of Zerah from Bozrah, reigned in his place.
34And when Jobab was dead, Husham of the land of the Temanites reigned in his place.
35Likewise, this one having died, Hadad the son of Bedad reigned in his place. He struck down Midian in the region of Moab. And the name of his city was Avith.
36And when Adad was dead, Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his place.
37Likewise, this one being dead, Shaul of the river Rehoboth, reigned in his place.
38And when he also had passed away, Baal-hanan, the son of Achbor, succeeded to the kingdom.
39Likewise, this one being dead, Hadar reigned in his place; and the name of his city was Pau. And his wife was called Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, daughter of Mezahab.
40Therefore, these were the names of the leaders of Esau, by their families, and places, and in their vocabulary: leader Timna, leader Alvah, leader Jetheth,
41leader Oholibamah, leader Elah, leader Pinon,
42leader Kanez, leader Teman, leader Mibzar,
43leader Magdiel, leader Iram. These were the leaders of Edom living in the land of their rule: this is Esau, the father of Idumea.

1And these are the generations of Esau, the same is Edom.
2Esau took wives of the daughters of Chanaan: Ada the daughter of Elon the Hethite, and Oolibama the daughter of Ana, the daughter of Sebeon the Hevite:
3And Basemath, the daughter of Ismael, sister of Nabajoth.
4And Ada bore Eliphaz: Basemath bore Rahuel.
5Oolibama bore Jehus, and Ihelon, and Core. These are the sons of Esau, that were born to him in the land of Chanaan.
6And Esau took his wives, and his sons and daughters, and every soul of his house, and his substance, and cattle, and all that he was able to acquire in the land of Chanaan: and went into another country, and departed from his brother Jacob.
7For they were exceeding rich, and could not dwell together: neither was the land in which they sojourned able to bear them, for the multitude of their flocks.
8And Esau dwelt in mount Seir: he is Edom.
9And these are the generations of Esau, the father of Edom, in mount Seir.
10And these the names of his sons: Eliphaz the son of Ada, the wife of Esau: and Rahuel, the son of Basemath, his wife.
11And Eliphaz had sons: Theman, Omar, Sepho, and Gatham and Cenez.
12And Thamna was the concubine of Eliphaz, the son of Esau: and she bore him Amalech. These are the sons of Ada, the wife of Esau.

18And these the sons of Oolibama, the wife of Esau: duke Jehus, duke Ihelon, duke Core. These are the dukes of Oolibama, the daughter of Ana, and wife of Esau.
19These are the sons of Esau, and these the dukes of them: the same is Edom.
20These are the sons of Seir, the Horrite, the inhabitants of the land: Lotan, and Sobal, and Sebeon, and Ana,
21And Dison, and Eser, and Disan. These are dukes of the Horrites, the sons of Seir, in the land of Edom.
22And Lotan had sons: Hori and Heman. And the sister of Lotan was Thamna.
23And these the sons of Sobal: Alvan, and Manahat, and Ebal, and Sepho, and Onam.
24And these the sons of Sebeon: Aia and Ana. This is Ana that found the hot waters in the wilderness, when he fed the asses of Sebeon, his father:
25And he had a son Dison, and a daughter Oolibama.
26And these were the sons of Dison: Hamdan, and Eseban, and Jethram, and Charan.
27These also were the sons of Eser: Balaan, and Zavan, and Acan.
28And Dison had sons: Hus and Aram.
29These were dukes of the Horrites: duke Lotan, duke Sobal, duke Sebeon, duke Ana,
30Duke Dison, duke Eser, duke Disan: these were dukes of the Horrites that ruled in the land of Seir.
31And the kings that ruled in the land of Edom, before the children of Israel had a king, were these:
32Bela the son of Beor, and the name of his city Denaba.
33And Bela died, and Jobab, the son of Zara, of Bosra, reigned in his stead.
34And when Jobab was dead, Husam, of the land of the Themanites, reigned in his stead.
35And after his death, Adad, the son of Badad, reigned in his stead, who defeated the Madianites in the country of Boab; and the name of his city was Avith.
36And when Adad was dead, there reigned in his stead, Semla, of Masreca.
37And he being dead, Saul, of the river Rohoboth, reigned in his stead.
38And when he also was dead, Balanan, the son of Achobor, succeeded to the kingdom.
39This man also being dead, Adar reigned in his place; and the name of his city was Phau: and his wife was called Meetabel, the daughter of Matred, daughter of Mezaab.
40And these are the names of the dukes of Esau in their kindreds, and places, and callings: duke Thamna, duke Alva, duke Jetheth,
41Duke Oolibama, duke Ela, duke Phinon,
42Duke Cenez, duke Theman, duke Mabsar,
43Duke Magdiel, duke Hiram: these are the dukes of Edom dwelling in the land of their government; the same is Esau, the father of the Edomites.
