1 Nowe these are the generations of Esau, which is Edom.
(Here is/I will now give you) a list of the descendants of Esau, whose other name was Edom.
2 Esau tooke his wiues of the daughters of Canaan: Adah the daughter of Elon an Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon an Hiuite,
Esau married three women from the Canaan region: Adah, the daughter of Elon from the Heth people-group; Oholibamah, who was the daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon from the Hiv people-group;
3 And tooke Basemath Ishmaels daughter, sister of Nebaioth.
and Basemath, who was the daughter of Ishmael and sister of Nebaioth.
4 And Adah bare vnto Esau, Eliphaz: and Basemath bare Reuel.

Jacob and Esau had very many possessions. The result was that they needed more land for their livestock. The land where they were living was not big enough for both of them. They had too much livestock. So Esau, whose other name was Edom, had taken his wives and sons and daughters and all the other members of his household, his sheep and goats and his other animals, and all the other things he had obtained in Canaan land, and they had moved to an area that was away from Jacob.
7 For their riches were so great, that they could not dwell together, and the lande, wherein they were strangers, coulde not receiue them because of their flockes.
8 Therefore dwelt Esau in mount Seir: this Esau is Edom.
They went to live in the Seir hilly area.
