Genesis 36

1 The following is the genealogy of Esau (also known as Edom).

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

2 Esau married two Canaanite women: Adah, daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah, daughter of Anah, and granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite.

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,

3 In addition he married Basemath, daughter of Ishmael and sister of Nebaioth.

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

4 Adah had a son for Esau named Eliphaz. Basemath had Reul.

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

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

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

6 Esau took his wives, sons and daughters, and everyone in his household, together with his livestock, all his other animals, and all the possessions he had gained while in Canaan, and went to live in a country far away from his brother Jacob.

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.

7 He did this because the land they were living in couldn't support both of them with all their livestock.

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

8 Esau settled down in the hill country of Seir.

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

9 The following is the genealogy of Esau, father of the Edomites, who lived in the hill country of Seir:

And these are the generations of Esau, the father of the Edomites in the hill-country of Seir:
