Genesis 36

θυγατέρα Ἀνὰ τοῦ υἱοῦ Σεβεγών, "daughter of Anah, the son of Zibeon," where the Masoretic version reads "daughter of Anah, daughter of Zibeon" (בַּת צִבְעוֹן): the Greek reads בֶּן, as the Samaritan Pentateuch also does, so that Anah, not Oholibamah, is Zibeon's child, as 36:24 has it ("the sons of Zibeon: Aiah and Anah"); marked, and again at 36:14. The wives come "from the daughters of the Canaanites," the people, where the Masoretic version reads "the daughters of Canaan." Swete prints Ἐλώμ for Elon and, here and at 36:5, 18, 25, Ὀλιβεμά for Oholibamah, from Alexandrinus, where Rahlfs spells both otherwise; each is a spelling of the same name and keeps its familiar form (names table).

πάντα τὰ σώματα τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ, "all the bodies of his house," where the Masoretic version reads "all the souls of his house" (נַפְשׁוֹת): σῶμα is the Greek's word for the persons of a household counted as property, the slaves (Rev 18:13 "bodies, and souls of humans"); marked. The goods follow in the Greek's own order and words: "all the belongings and the cattle" for "his livestock and all his beasts" (marked, as at 36:7), and "all as many as he acquired" for "all his getting that he had gained." The second clause, "and as many as he secured" (καὶ ὅσα περιεποιήσατο), doubles the first with a verb of its own and is marked as a plus. The Masoretic version has Esau go "to a land," with no name; the Greek has him go "out of the land of Canaan" (Χανάαν seeded), so that the verse says what he left, not where he went.

Θαιμάν prints "Teman" here, Esau's grandson (תֵּימָן), by its referent, as at 36:15, 42; the same Greek is Ishmael's son Tema at 25:15 (148g). Ὠμάν is Swete's spelling of Omar (אוֹמָר), from Alexandrinus, where Rahlfs and 36:15 have Ὠμάρ; it keeps the familiar form, and at 36:23 the same Greek form stands for Onam. Σωφάρ, the form the Greek gives Job's friend Zophar (Job 2:11), here spells the Masoretic version's Zepho (צְפוֹ) and keeps its familiar form, here and at 36:15 (145f).

Θαμνά prints by its referent (149a): "Timna" for Eliphaz's concubine, Lotan's sister and the governor of 36:40, where the Masoretic version reads תִּמְנָע; "Timnah" for the town of Gen 38, where it reads תִּמְנָה. One Greek form, two Hebrew names.

Νάχομ for Nahath (36:17 Νάχοθ) and Μασεμμάθ for Basemath (36:3 Βασεμμάθ), here and at 36:17, are Swete's forms from Alexandrinus, where Rahlfs spells otherwise; each is a copyist's form of the same name and keeps its familiar English, unmarked (145f; names table). The Greek has no "and" before Zerah.

Swete prints υἱοῦ Ἠσαύ, "of the son of Esau," singular, from Alexandrinus, where Rahlfs and the Masoretic version have the plural, "of the sons of Esau"; marked. ἡγεμών, "governor," stands for the Masoretic version's אַלּוּף "chief" in every line of the lists (36:15–43): the word of the Roman governors of the New Testament (Matt 27:2; Acts 23:24) and of Matt 2:6, "by no means least among the governors of Judah" (151e).

ἐν γῇ Ἰδουμαίᾳ, "in the land of Idumea," where the Masoretic version reads "in the land of Edom." Ἰδουμαία is the Greek's name for the country, built from the name of its people, the form of Mark 3:8; elsewhere in this chapter Swete keeps Ἐδώμ (36:1, 8, 9, 17, 19, 21, 30–32, 43). It is not a spelling of אֱדוֹם but a different name for the same land, as the Assyrians for Assyria (145f); printed as it sounds and marked.

Swete's list runs Nahath, Zerah, Mizzah, Shammah, where the Masoretic version and 36:13 have Shammah before Mizzah; the alignment cannot pair ἡγεμὼν Σομέ because Rahlfs orders the names otherwise. Marked as a difference of order.

Ἰεούλ is Swete's form of Jeush (Ἰεούς, 36:5), a copyist's confusion of sigma and lambda, from Alexandrinus; it keeps the familiar form, unmarked (145f). The Greek closes the verse with "the leaders of Oholibamah" and lacks the Masoretic version's "daughter of Anah, the woman of Esau" (seeded).

The Masoretic version reads "These are the sons of Esau, and these their chiefs; he is Edom." Swete repeats the clause and makes the last words a genealogy: οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ ἡγεμόνες αὐτῶν, υἱοὶ Ἐδώμ, "these are their leaders, sons of Edom." The alignment seeds οὗτοί εἰσιν and υἱοί as pluses and leaves οἱ ἡγεμόνες αὐτῶν unpaired, since Rahlfs reads otherwise; the repeated words are as much an addition as the words either side of them, and all three are marked. The Greek lacks "he" (seeded).

Ὠμάν, which spelled Omar at 36:11, here spells the Masoretic version's Onam (אוֹנָם), Shobal's son; it prints by its referent (149a). Γωλών for Alvan and Γαιβήλ for Ebal write the ʿayin with gamma, as Γάδερ for Eder (150h).

Ὠνάν and Ὠνᾶς are the Greek's forms of Anah (עֲנָה), and print the familiar name. οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ Ὠνᾶς ὃς εὗρεν τὸν Ἰαμείν, "this is the Anah who found Iamin": the Greek transliterates the Masoretic version's obscure הַיֵּמִם, which that version prints "the yemim" (133d; the Vulgate guessed "hot springs," others "mules"), and gives it the article of a personal name, so that Anah finds a man or a place called Iamin. Printed as it sounds and marked as a name. For "the donkeys" (חֲמֹרִים) it has τὰ ὑποζύγια, "the yoke-animals," the beasts that go under the yoke, its regular word for the ass (Exod 23:4–5; Matt 21:5); νέμω, "pasture," for "shepherding."

Δησών, "Dishon," where the Masoretic version reads "Dishan" (דִּישָׁן): the Greek gives these four sons to Dishon, the brother of Dishan, and keeps Dishan's sons for Ῥεισών at 36:28. A different man is named; marked.

Χορρεί, here and at 36:30, transliterates the Masoretic version's הַחֹרִי, "the Horite," where 36:20–21 translate it with the people's name Χορραῖος. The form is the one that spells Lotan's son Hori at 36:22, and it prints by its referent: "the Horite" here, where it stands for the people (145f, 149a).

ἐν γῇ Ἐδώμ, "in the land of Edom," where the Masoretic version reads "in the land of Seir": the Greek closes the Horite list with the name that closes the lists of Esau's sons (36:16–17, 21), a different name for the land, marked. ἐν ταῖς ἡγεμονίαις αὐτῶν, "in their governorships," stands for the Masoretic version's "by their chiefs" (לְאַלֻּפֵיהֶם).

πρὸ τοῦ βασιλεῦσαι βασιλέα ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ, "before a king reigned in Jerusalem," where the Masoretic version reads "before a king reigned for the sons of Israel." Swete prints Jerusalem from Alexandrinus, where Rahlfs has ἐν Ἰσραήλ, "in Israel"; the reading names the city of David's line where the Masoretic version names the people, and dates the list from the kingdom in Jerusalem. A different name, marked; the Greek lacks "for the sons of" (seeded) and "the land of" before Edom (seeded).

Βάλακ, "Balak," where the Masoretic version reads "Bela" (בֶּלַע): the Greek gives the first king of Edom the name of Balak the king of Moab (Num 22–24; Rev 2:14), as it gives it to the city Bela at 14:2, 8. A different name, printed as it sounds and marked (145f), here and at 36:33. Δεννάβα is a spelling of Dinhabah (names table).

Ἰωβάδ is Swete's form of Jobab here, from Alexandrinus, where Rahlfs and 36:34 have Ἰωβάβ; it keeps the familiar form. The Greek Job closes with a note naming Job as this Jobab, son of Zare, who reigned in Edom after Balak son of Beor (Job 42:17b–d LXX). Ζάρα is the same name as Ζάρε, Reuel's son (36:13, 17): both print "Zerah."

ἐκ γῆς Θεμανῶν, "from the land of the Temanites," plural, where the Masoretic version reads "the Temanite"; Swete's genitive plural is a form of Θαιμανί, "Temanite"; marked.

καὶ ὄνομα τῇ πόλει αὐτοῦ Γεθθάιμ, "and the name of his city was Gittaim," where the Masoretic version reads "Avith" (עֲוִית). Γεθθάιμ is the Greek's form of גִּתַּיִם, Gittaim, the town of 2 Sam 4:3 and Neh 11:33, not a spelling of Avith: a different name, printed with the English form of the name the Greek gives and marked (145f).

Swete gives the last king a father: Ἁρὰθ υἱὸς Βαράθ, "Hadar son of Barath." The alignment seeds υἱός as a plus and leaves Βαράθ unpaired (Rahlfs reads otherwise); the patronym is set as one plus. Ἁράθ is the Greek's form of Hadar (הֲדַר) and keeps the familiar form. The city is Φόγωρ, "Peor," where the Masoretic version reads "Pau" (פָּעוּ): Φογώρ is the Greek's name for Peor (Num 23:28), a different name, marked. Mehetabel is "daughter of Matred, son of Mezahab," where the Masoretic version reads "daughter of Mezahab"; marked. Μετεβεήλ, Ματραείθ and Μεζοόβ are spellings of the three names (names table).

Ἰεβέρ, "Jeber," where the Masoretic version reads "Jetheth" (יְתֵת): Swete's name is not a spelling of Jetheth but a different name, printed as it sounds and marked (151a). At 36:41 Φινές is the Greek's form of Pinon (פִּינֹן), the same name, and keeps the familiar form, unmarked (151a).

Where the Masoretic version names the last chief Iram (עִירָם), Swete names Ζαφωεί, "Zaphoi," a name with no Hebrew counterpart (Rahlfs ζαφωιμ). The alignment seeds Iram as a minus and the Greek name as an unplaced plus; but the Greek has a governor in Iram's place, and the name is a different name in the same slot, printed as it sounds and marked {name} (145f), as Balak for Bela (36:32). The minus is refused and nothing is set as a plus. Μετοδιήλ is Swete's form of Magdiel. The governors of Edom are "in the ones built up," ἐν ταῖς κατῳκοδομημέναις, the settled towns, where the Masoretic version reads "by their seats"; κατοικοδομέω is "build up," a compound of οἰκοδομέω "build."
