Genesis 36

The Descendants of Esau

The Descendants of Esau

1Now these are the generations of Esau ( the same is Edom). 2Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan : Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite , and Oholibamah the daughter of Anah , the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite , 3and Basemath Ishmael ’s daughter , sister of Nebaioth . 4And Adah bare to Esau Eliphaz; and Basemath bare Reuel ; 5and Oholibamah bare Jeush , and Jalam , and Korah : these are the sons of Esau , that were born unto him in the land of Canaan . 6And Esau took his wives, and his sons , and his daughters , and all the souls of his house , and his cattle , and all his beasts , and all his possessions , which he had gathered in the land of Canaan ; and went into a land away from his brother Jacob . 7For their substance was too great for them to dwell together ; and the land of their sojournings could not bear them because of their cattle . 8And Esau dwelt in mount Seir : Esau is Edom.

The Kings of Edom

9And these are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in mount Seir : 10these are the names of Esau ’s sons : Eliphaz the son of Adah the wife of Esau , Reuel the son of Basemath the wife of Esau . 11And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman , Omar, Zepho , and Gatam , and Kenaz . 12And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz Esau ’s son ; and she bare to Eliphaz Amalek : these are the sons of Adah , Esau ’s wife. 13And these are the sons of Reuel : Nahath , and Zerah , Shammah , and Mizzah : these were the sons of Basemath , Esau ’s wife. 14And these were the sons of Oholibamah the daughter of Anah , the daughter of Zibeon , Esau ’s wife: and she bare to Esau Jeush , and Jalam , and Korah .
