CHAPTER 36

¹And this is the lineage of Esau, that is, Edom. ²Esau took his wives from the daughters of Canaan—Adah daughter of Elon the Hittite and Oholibamah daughter of Anah son of Zibeon the Hivvite, ³and Basemath daughter of Ishmael, sister of Nebaioth. ⁴And Adah bore to Esau Eliphaz while Basemath bore Reuel, ⁵and Oholibamah bore Jeush and Jalam and Korah. These are the sons of Esau who were born to him in the land of Canaan. ⁶And Esau took his wives and his sons and his daughters and all the folk of his household and his livestock and all his cattle and all the goods he had gotten in the land of Canaan and he went to another land away from Jacob his brother. ⁷For their substance was too great for dwelling together and the land of their sojournings could not support them because of their livestock. ⁸And Esau settled in the high country of Seir—Esau, that is, Edom.
