Genesis - Chapter 36

² Esau chose his wives from the women of Canaan: Adah daughter of Elon the Hittite, Oholibamah daughter of Anah, son of Zibeon the Horite,

³ Basemath daughter of Ishmael and sister of Nebaioth.

⁴ Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau, Basemath bore Reuel,

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

⁶ Esau took his wives, his sons and daughters, all the members of his household, his livestock, all his cattle and all the goods he had acquired in Canaan and left for Seir, away from his brother Jacob.

⁷ For they had acquired too much to live together. The land in which they were at that time could not support them both because of their livestock.

⁸ That is why Edom settled in the mountainous region of Seir. Esau is Edom.

⁹ These are the descendants of Esau, ancestor of Edom, in the mountainous region of Seir.
