Genesis 36 (BSB) - Holy Bible

¹This is the account of Esau (that is, Edom).

²Esau took his wives from the daughters of Canaan: Adah daughter of Elon the Hittite, Oholibamah daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite,

³and Basemath daughter of Ishmael and sister of Nebaioth.

⁴And Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau, Basemath gave birth to Reuel,

⁵and Oholibamah gave birth to Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. These were the sons of Esau, who were born to him in the land of Canaan.

⁶Later, 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.

⁷For their possessions were too great for them to dwell together; the land where they stayed could not support them because of their livestock.

⁸So Esau (that is, Edom) settled in the area of Mount Seir.

⁹This is the account of Esau, the father of the Edomites, in the area of Mount Seir.

¹⁰These are the names of Esau’s sons: Eliphaz son of Esau’s wife Adah, and Reuel son of Esau’s wife Basemath.
