2. Esau took his wives from the daughters of Canaan: Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite,

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

4. Adah bore to Esau Eliphaz, and 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 people of his house, his livestock, all his animals, and all his property that 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 dwell together, and the land where they were foreigners could not sustain them because of their livestock.

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

9. These are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in the hill country of Seir.

10. These are the names of Esau’s sons:Eliphaz the son of Adah the wife of Esau, and Reuel the son of Basemath the wife of Esau.

11. The sons of Eliphaz wereTeman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz.
