Esau’s Genealogies

36 This is a record of Esau’s genealogy, that is, of Edom. ² Esau had married Canaanite women, including Elon the Hittite’s daughter Adah, Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah (who was Zibeon the Hivite’s daughter), and ³ Ishamael’s daughter Basemath (who was Nebaioth’s sister). ⁴ Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau, Basemath bore Reuel, and ⁵ Oholibamah bore Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. These were Esau’s sons, who were born to him in the territory of Canaan.

⁶ Later, Esau took his wives, his children, everyone in his household, his livestock, all his animals, and all his possessions that he had acquired in the territory of Canaan and moved far away from his brother Jacob, ⁷ because their holdings were too vast to allow them to stay together, since the land where they had settled was not able to support all of their livestock. ⁸ So Esau lived in Mount Seir.^[a] (Esau was also known as Edom.)

⁹ This is a record of the family history of Esau, the ancestor of the Edomites of Mount Seir. ¹⁰ The names of Esau’s sons were Eliphaz (the son of Esau’s wife Adah) and Reuel (the son of Esau’s wife Basemath).

¹¹ Eliphaz’s sons were Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz. ¹² Timnah was a concubine of Esau’s son Eliphaz. She bore Amalek to Eliphaz.

¹³ Reuel’s sons were Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. These were the sons of Esau’s wife Basemath.

¹⁴ These were the sons of Esau’s wife Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah, who was the daughter of Zibeon. She bore Jeush, Jalam, and Korah for Esau.
