Genesis 36

1 And these are the generations of Esau, the same is Edom.

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

2 Esau 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:

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 the daughter of Ismael, sister of Nabajoth.

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

4 And Ada bore Eliphaz: Basemath bore Rahuel:

Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau, and Basemath bore Reuel.

5 Oolibama bore Jehus and Ihelon and Core. These are the sons of Esau, that were born to him in the land of Chanaan.

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

6 And 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.

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 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.

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 And Esau dwelt in mount Seir: he is Edom.
