Genesis 36
1 (Here is/I will now give you) a list of the descendants of Esau, whose other name was Edom.
And these [are] the generations of Esau, who [is] Edom.
2 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;
Esau has taken his wives from the daughters of Canaan: Adah daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah daughter of Anah, daughter of Zibeon the Hivite,
3 and Basemath, who was the daughter of Ishmael and sister of Nebaioth.
and Bashemath daughter of Ishmael, sister of Nebajoth.
4 Esau’s wife Adah gave birth to Eliphaz. Basemath gave birth to Reuel.
And Adah bears to Esau, Eliphaz; and Bashemath has borne Reuel;
5 Oholibamah gave birth to Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. All these sons of Esau were born while he was living in the Canaan region.
and Aholibamah has borne Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah. These [are] sons of Esau, who were born to him in the land of Canaan.
6 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.
And Esau takes his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the persons of his house, and his livestock, and all his beasts, and all his substance which he has acquired in the land of Canaan, and goes into the country from the face of his brother Jacob;
for their substance was more abundant than to dwell together, and the land of their sojournings was not able to bear them because of their livestock;
8 They went to live in the Seir hilly area.
