~ Esau ~

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

Esau took his wives from the women of Canaan:
Adah daughter of Elon the Hittite,
and Oholibamah the daughter of Anah
and granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite --
also Basemath daughter of Ishmael
and sister of Nebaioth.

Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau,
Basemath bore Reuel;
and Oholibamah bore Jeush, Jalam and Korah.
These were the sons of Esau,
who were born to him in Canaan.

Esau took his wives and sons and daughters
and all the members of his household,
as well as his livestock
and all his other animals
and all the goods he had acquired in Canaan,
and moved to a land some distance
from his brother Jacob.
Their possessions were too great
for them to remain together;
the land where they were staying
could not support them both
because of their livestock.
So Esau (that is, Edom)
settled in the hill country of Seir.

(Genesis 36:1-8)
