Genesis 36:1-13 The Message (MSG)

1. This is the family tree of Esau, who is also called Edom.

2-3. Esau married women of Canaan: Adah, daughter of Elon the Hittite;Oholibamah, daughter of Anah and the granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite; and Basemath, daughter of Ishmael and sister of Nebaioth.

4. Adah gave Esau Eliphaz;Basemath had Reuel;

5. Oholibamah had Jeush, Jalam, and Korah.These are the sons of Esau who were born to him in the land of Canaan.

6-8. Esau gathered up his wives, sons and daughters, and everybody in his household, along with all his livestock—all the animals and possessions he had gotten in Canaan—and moved a considerable distance away from his brother Jacob. The brothers had too many possessions to live together in the same place; the land couldn’t support their combined herds of livestock. So Esau ended up settling in the hill country of Seir (Esau and Edom are the same).

9-10. So this is the family tree of Esau, ancestor of the people of Edom, in the hill country of Seir. The names of Esau’s sons:Eliphaz, son of Esau’s wife Adah;Reuel, son of Esau’s wife Basemath.

11-12. The sons of Eliphaz: Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz. (Eliphaz also had a concubine Timna, who had Amalek.) These are the grandsons of Esau’s wife Adah.

13. And these are the sons of Reuel: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah—grandsons of Esau’s wife Basemath.
