3and Basemath, Ishmael’s daughter, the sister of Nebaioth.3He also married his cousin Basemath, who was the daughter of Ishmael and the sister of Nebaioth.
4And Adah bore to Esau, Eliphaz; Basemath bore Reuel;4Adah gave birth to a son named Eliphaz for Esau. Basemath gave birth to a son named Reuel.
5and Oholibamah bore Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. These are the sons of Esau who were born to him in the land of Canaan.5Oholibamah gave birth to sons named Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. All these sons were born to Esau in the land of Canaan.

He went into a land away from his brother Jacob.6Esau took his wives, his children, and his entire household, along with his livestock and cattle—all the wealth he had acquired in the land of Canaan—and moved away from his brother, Jacob.
7For their possessions were too great for them to dwell together. The land of their sojournings could not support them because of their livestock.7There was not enough land to support them both because of all the livestock and possessions they had acquired.
