‏ Genesis 36

Esau Moves

1 Now these are the records of the generations of aEsau (that is, Edom).

2 Esau btook his wives from the daughters of Canaan: Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and cOholibamah the daughter of Anah, the
Lit daughter; LXX son (referring to Anah)
egranddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite;
3also Basemath, Ishmael’s daughter, the sister of Nebaioth. 4Adah bore fEliphaz to Esau, and Basemath gave birth to Reuel, 5and Oholibamah gave birth to Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. These are the sons of Esau who were born to him in the land of Canaan.

6 gThen Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters, and all
Lit the souls of his house
his household, and his livestock and all his cattle, and all his property which he had acquired in the land of Canaan, and went to another land away from his brother Jacob.
7 iFor their possessions had become too great for them to live together, and the jland where they kresided could not support them because of their livestock. 8So Esau lived in the hill country of lSeir; Esau is mEdom.
