Genesis 36:2-13 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

2. Esau married women from the land of Canaan. He married Adah daughter of Elon the Hittite. And he married Oholibamah daughter of Anah. Anah was the son of Zibeon the Hivite. And he married

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

4. Adah gave Esau one son, Eliphaz. Basemath gave Esau Reuel.

5. And Oholibamah gave Esau Jeush, Jalam and Korah. These were Esau’s sons who were born in the land of Canaan.

6. Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters and all the people who lived with him. He took his herds and other animals. And he took all the belongings he had gotten in Canaan. And he went to a land away from his brother Jacob.

7. Esau and Jacob’s belongings were becoming too many for them to live in the same land. The land where they had lived could not support both of them. They had too many herds.

8. So Esau lived in the mountains of Edom. (Esau is also named Edom.)

9. This is the family history of Esau. He is the ancestor of the Edomites, who live in the mountains of Edom.

10. Esau’s sons were Eliphaz son of Adah and Esau, and Reuel son of Basemath and Esau.

11. Eliphaz had five sons: Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam and Kenaz.

12. Eliphaz also had a slave woman named Timna. Timna and Eliphaz gave birth to Amalek. These were Esau’s grandsons by his wife Adah.

13. Reuel had four sons: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah and Mizzah. These were Esau’s grandsons by his wife Basemath.
