Genesis 36

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

Now these are the generations of Esau, who 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.

Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite;

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

And Bahsemath Ishmael's daughter, the sister of Nebayoth.

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

And Adah bore to Esau Eliphaz; and Bahsemath bore Reuel;

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

And Aholibamah bore Yeush, and Ya'lam, and Korach: these are the sons of Esau, that were born unto him in the land 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.

And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the persons of his house, and his cattle, and all his beasts, and all his substance, which he had gotten in the land of Canaan; and went into another country 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 riches were more than that they might dwell together; and the land of their sojourning could not bear them, because of their cattle.

8 Esau settled down in the hill country of Seir.

Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau is Edom.

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