CHAPTER 36

1
This
is the account
of Esau
(that is,
Edom).
2
Esau
took
his wives
from the daughters
of Canaan:
Adah
daughter
of Elon
the Hittite,
Oholibamah
daughter
of Anah
and granddaughter
of Zibeon
the Hivite,
3
and Basemath
daughter
of Ishmael
and sister
of Nebaioth.
4
And Adah
bore
Eliphaz
to Esau,
Basemath
gave birth to
Reuel,
5
and Oholibamah
gave birth to
Jeush,
Jalam,
and Korah.
These
were the sons
of Esau,
who
were born
to him in the land
of Canaan.
6
Later, Esau
took
his wives
and
sons
and
daughters
and
all
the people
of his household,
along with
his livestock,
all
his other animals,
and all
the property
he had acquired
in Canaan,
and he moved
to
a land
far away from
his brother
Jacob.
7
For
their possessions
were
too great
for them to dwell
together;
the land
where they stayed
could
not
support them
because
of their livestock.
8
So Esau
(that is,
Edom)
settled
in the hill country
of Seir.
9
This
is the account
of Esau,
the father
of the Edomites,
in the hill country
of Seir.
10
These
are the names
of Esau’s
sons:
Eliphaz
son
of Esau’s
wife
Adah,
and Reuel

wife
Basemath.
11
The sons
of Eliphaz
were

Omar,
Zepho,
Gatam,
and Kenaz.
12
Additionally, Timna,
a concubine
of Esau’s

These

the sons
of Esau’s
wife
Oholibamah,
daughter
of Anah
and granddaughter
of Zibeon,
whom she bore
to Esau:

and Korah.
