The Descendants of Esau
1This is the account of Esau, that is, Edom. 2Esau took his wives from among the Canaanite women: Adah daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah daughter of Anah, granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite, 3and Basemath daughter of Ishmael, sister of Nebaioth. 4Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau, and Basemath bore Reuel. 5Oholibamah bore Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. These are the sons of Esau, born to him in the land of Canaan. 6Esau took his wives, his sons and daughters, and everyone in his household, along with his livestock, his animals, and all the possessions he had acquired in the land of Canaan, and he moved to a land away from his brother Jacob, 7because their possessions were too great for them to live together, and the land where they were staying could not support them both because of their livestock. 8So Esau settled in the hill country of Seir — Esau, that is, Edom. 9This is the account of Esau, father of the Edomites, in the hill country of Seir. 10These are the names of Esau’s sons: Eliphaz, son of Esau’s wife Adah, and Reuel, son of Esau’s wife Basemath. 11The sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz. 12Timna was a concubine of Esau’s son Eliphaz, and she bore Amalek to Eliphaz. These are the grandsons of Esau’s wife Adah. 13These are the sons of Reuel: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. These are the grandsons of Esau’s wife Basemath. 14These are the sons of Esau’s wife Oholibamah, daughter of Anah, granddaughter of Zibeon: she bore to Esau Jeush, Jalam, and Korah.
