36 Now these are the descendants of Esau (that is, Edom). 2 Esau took his wives from the Canaanites: Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite, 3 and Basemath Ishmael’s daughter, sister of Nebaioth. 4 Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau; and Basemath bore Reuel; 5 and Oholibamah bore Jeush, and Jalam, and Korah. These were the sons of Esau that were born to him in the land of Canaan.

6 Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the members of his household and his cattle and all his beasts and all his possessionse which he had gathered in the land of Canaan and went into a land away from his brother Jacob. 7 For their possessions were too many for them to live together; and the land where they sojourned could not support them because of their cattle. 8 So Esau dwelt in Mount Seir (Esau is Edom).

9 These are the descendants of Esau the father of the Edomites in Mount Seir: 10 these are the names of Esau’s sons: Eliphaz the son of Esau’s wife Adah, Reuel the son of Esau’s wife Basemath. 11 The sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenaz. 12 Timna was the concubine of Esau’s son Eliphaz; and she bore Amalek to him.
