Genesis 36:1-9 ▼

1 These are the descendants of Esau (that is, Edom).

2 Esau took his wives from the Canaanites: Adah daughter of Elon the Hittite, Oholibamah daughter of Anah son of Zibeon the Hivite,

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

4 Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau; Basemath bore Reuel;

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

6 Then Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters, and all the members of his household, his cattle, all his livestock, and all the property he had acquired in the land of Canaan; and he moved to a land some distance from his brother Jacob.

7 For their possessions were too great for them to live together; the land where they were staying could not support them because of their livestock.

8 So Esau settled in the hill country of Seir; Esau is Edom.

9 These are the descendants of Esau, ancestor of the Edomites, in the hill country of Seir.
