Genesis 36

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

And these [are] the generations of Esau; this is Edom.

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

And Esau took to himself wives of the daughters of the Chananites; Ada, the daughter of Aelom the Chettite; and Olibema, daughter of Ana the son of Sebegon, the Evite;

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

and Basemath, daughter of Ismael, sister of Nabaioth.

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

And Ada bore to him Eliphas; and Basemath bore Raguel.

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

And Olibema bore Jeus, and Jeglom, and Core; these [are] the sons of Esau, which were born to him in the land of Chanaan.

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.

And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the persons of his house, and all his possessions, and all his cattle, and all that he had got, and all things whatever he had acquired in the land of Chanaan; and Esau went forth from the land of Chanaan, from the face of 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 substance was too great for them to dwell together; and the land of their sojourning could not bear them, because of the abundance of their possessions.

8 Esau settled down in the hill country of Seir.

And Esau lived in mount Seir; Esau, he is Edom.
