Genesis 36:6-21 New Century Version (NCV)

6. Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters, and all the people who lived with him, his herds and other animals, and 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, because 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, and 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.

14. Esau’s third wife was Oholibamah the daughter of Anah. (Anah was the son of Zibeon.) Esau and Oholibamah gave birth to Jeush, Jalam, and Korah.

15. These were the leaders that came from Esau: Esau’s first son was Eliphaz. From him came these leaders: Teman, Omar, Zepho, Kenaz,

16. Korah, Gatam, and Amalek. These were the leaders that came from Eliphaz in the land of Edom. They were the grandsons of Adah.

17. Esau’s son Reuel was the father of these leaders: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. These were the leaders that came from Reuel in the land of Edom. They were the grandsons of Esau’s wife Basemath.

18. Esau’s wife Oholibamah gave birth to these leaders: Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. These are the leaders that came from Esau’s wife Oholibamah the daughter of Anah.

19. These were the sons of Esau (also called Edom), and these were their leaders.

20. These were the sons of Seir the Horite, who were living in the land: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah,

21. Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan. These sons of Seir were the leaders of the Horites in Edom.
