Genesis 36

1 Now these are the generations of Esau, that is to say, Edom.

These were the descendants of Esau (also called Edom).

2 Esau's wives were women of Canaan: Adah, the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite,

Esau took his wives from the Canaanites. These were his wives: Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite; Oholibamah the daughter of Anah, the granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite;

3 And Basemath, Ishmael's daughter, the sister of Nebaioth.

and Basemath, Ishmael's daughter, sister of Nebaioth.

4 Adah had a son Eliphaz; and Basemath was the mother of Reuel;

Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau, and Basemath bore Reuel.

5 Oholibamah was the mother of Jeush, Jalam, and Korah; these are the sons of Esau, whose birth took place in the land of Canaan.

Oholibamah bore Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. These were the sons of Esau who were born to him in the land of Canaan.

6 Esau took his wives and his sons and his daughters, and all the people of his house, and his beasts and his cattle and all his goods which he had got together in the land of Canaan, and went into the land of Seir, away from his brother Jacob.

Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters, and all the members of his household, his livestock—all his animals, and all his possessions, which he had gathered in the land of Canaan, and went into a land away from his brother Jacob.

7 For their wealth was so great that the land was not wide enough for the two of them and all their cattle.

He did this because their possessions were too many for them to stay together. The land where they had settled could not support them because of their livestock.

8 So Esau made his living-place in the hill-country of Seir (Esau is Edom).
