36 ¶ Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom.

² Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan: Adah the daughter of Elon, the Hittite; Aholibamah, the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon, the Hivite;

³ and Bashemath, Ishmael’s daughter, sister of Nebajoth.

⁴ And Adah bore to Esau Eliphaz, and Bashemath bore Reuel,

⁵ and Aholibamah bore Jeush and Jaalam and Korah: these are the sons of Esau, who were born unto him in the land of Canaan.

⁶ And Esau took his wives and his sons and his daughters and all the persons of his house and his cattle and all his beasts and all his substance, which he had got in the land of Canaan, and went into another country from the face of his brother Jacob.
