Esau’s Family
36 These are the family records(A) of Esau (that is, Edom(B)). 2 Esau took his wives from the Canaanite women: Adah daughter of Elon the Hethite,(C) Oholibamah daughter of Anah and granddaughter[a] of Zibeon the Hivite, 3 and Basemath daughter of Ishmael and sister of Nebaioth.(D) 4 Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau, Basemath bore Reuel, 5 and Oholibamah bore Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. These were Esau’s sons, who were born to him in the land of Canaan.
6 Esau took his wives, sons, daughters, and all the people of his household, as well as his herds, all his livestock, and all the property he had acquired in Canaan; he went to a land away from his brother Jacob. 7 For their possessions were too many for them to live together,(E) and because of their herds, the land where they stayed could not support them.(F) 8 So Esau (that is, Edom) lived in the mountains of Seir.(G)

2 Esau took his wives from the women of Canaan: Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah the daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite, 3 and Ishmael’s daughter Basemath, the sister of Nebaioth. 4 Adah gave birth to Esau’s son Eliphaz. Basemath gave birth to Reuel. 5 And Oholibamah gave birth to Jeush, Jalam and Korah. These are the sons who were born to Esau in the land of Canaan.
6 Then Esau took his wives and sons and daughters and all those of his house, and his flocks and cattle, and all his riches from the land of Canaan. And he went to another land away from his brother Jacob. 7 For they owned too much for them to live together. The land where they were staying could not keep them alive, because of all their animals. 8 So Esau lived in the hill country of Seir. Esau is Edom.
9 These are the children, and their children, of Esau the father of the Edomites in the hill country of Seir. 10 These are the names of Esau’s sons: Eliphaz the son of Esau’s wife Adah, and Reuel the son of Esau’s wife Basemath. 11 The sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz. 12 Timna acted as the wife of Esau’s son Eliphaz.
