ˊĒsāv he/it_had_taken DOM wives,his from,women Kenaan

Only the first two wives mentioned in this chapter were Canaanites; see the comment about Basemath at verse 3. The Canaanites were the descendants of Noah’s grandson Canaan (Ham’s son) and included the Hittites and Hivites (verse 2; Genesis 10:15-18) and several other people groups. You could put some of that information in a footnote. Alternate translation: “Esau had chosen two of his wives from among the Canaanite women:” or “Esau had married two women who were descendants of Canaan”

Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “whose names were Adah,”

Note 2 topic: translate-names

בַּת אֵילוֹן֙ הַֽ⁠חִתִּ֔י

daughter_of Elon the,Hittite

Make sure your translation does not sound like Elon was the only Hittite. See how you translated “Hittites” in Gen 27:46. Alternate translation: “whose father was Elon, who was a descendant of Heth,” or “the daughter of a man named Elon, who was a member of the Heth people group,”

וְ⁠אֶת אָהֳלִֽיבָמָה֙

and=DOM ʼĀhₑlīⱱāmāh

Notice that the names of Esau’s two Canaanite wives here are different from the names of his wives mentioned in Gen 26:34. It could be that they each had two names, or these may be different wives that he married later. Alternate translation: “and also Oholibamah,” or “as well as Oholibamah,”

Note 3 topic: translate-names

Notice that Elon, Anah, and Zibeon are the names of men here, not women.

Tsiⱱˊōn/(Zibeon) the=Hivvi

Make sure that your translation of this phrase does not sound like Zibeon was the only Hivite. Consider again how you translated “Hivites” in the book of Genesis. See Gen 10:17; 34:2; 36:2. Alternate translation: “Zibeon who was a descendant of Hivi.” or “Zibeon who was a member of the Hivi people group.”
