1 Now these are the generations of Esau (that is, Edom).

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

3 and Basemath, Ishmael's daughter, sister of Nebaioth.

4 Adah bore to Esau Eliphaz. Basemath bore Reuel.

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

6 Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters, and all the members of his household, with his livestock, all his animals, and all his possessions, which he had gathered in the land of Canaan, and went out from the land of Canaan away from the presence of his brother Jacob.

7 For their possessions were too great for them to remain together, and the land in which they were traveling could not support them because of their livestock.

8 And Esau (also known as Edom) settled in the hill country of Seir.

9 These are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in the hill country of Seir:
