Genesis Chapter 36

¹ Esau’s (Edom’s) Generations

^{2 2} Esau married Canaanite women: Adah daughter of Elon the Hittite; Oholibamah daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite; ³ and Basemath/Mahalath Ishmael’s daughter, sister of Nebaioth. ⁴ Adah had Eliphaz; Basemath had Reuel, ⁵ Oholibamah had Jeush, Jalam, and Korah—all born in Canaan. 

⁶ Esau took his wives, sons, daughters, household, livestock, cattle, and goods he’d gained in Canaan, and moved to a territory away from Jacob. ⁷ Their livestock had become too much for the land to support them both. ^8-9 Esau, ancestor of the Edomites, lived in the hill country of Seir.
