36:39. This 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. 36:40. And these are the names of the dukes of Esau in their kindreds, and places, and callings: duke Thamna, duke Alva, duke Jetheth, 36:41. Duke Oolibama, duke Ela, duke Phinon, 36:42. Duke Cenez, duke Theman, duke Mabsar, 36:43. Duke 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. Genesis Chapter 37 Joseph's dreams: he is sold by his brethren, and carried into Egypt. 37:1. And Jacob dwelt in the land of Chanaan, wherein his father sojourned. 37:2. And these are his generations: Joseph, when he was sixteen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren, being but a boy: and he was with the sons of Bala and of Zelpha his father's wives: and he accused his brethren to his father of a most wicked crime. 37:3. Now Israel loved Joseph above all his sons, because he had him in his old age: and he made him a coat of divers colours. 37:4.
