1Now this is the genealogy of Esau, who is Edom.1This is the account of the descendants of Esau (also known as Edom).
2Esau took his wives from the daughters of Canaan: Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite; Aholibamah the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite;2Esau married two young women from Canaan: Adah, the daughter of Elon the Hittite; and Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite.
3and Basemath, Ishmael’s daughter, sister of Nebajoth.3He also married his cousin Basemath, who was the daughter of Ishmael and the sister of Nebaioth.
4Now Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau, and Basemath bore Reuel.4Adah gave birth to a son named Eliphaz for Esau. Basemath gave birth to a son named Reuel.
5And Aholibamah bore Jeush, Jaalam, and Korah. These were the sons of Esau who were born to him in the land of Canaan.5Oholibamah gave birth to sons named Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. All these sons were born to Esau in the land of Canaan.
6Then Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters, and all the persons of his household, his cattle and all his animals, and all his goods which he had gained in the land of Canaan, and went to a country away from the presence of his brother Jacob.6Esau took his wives, his children, and his entire household, along with his livestock and cattle—all the wealth he had acquired in the land of Canaan—and moved away from his brother, Jacob.
7For their possessions were too great for them to dwell together, and the land where they were strangers could not support them because of their livestock.7There was not enough land to support them both because of all the livestock and possessions they had acquired.
8So Esau dwelt in Mount Seir. Esau is Edom.8So Esau (also known as Edom) settled in the hill country of Seir.
9And this is the genealogy of Esau the father of the Edomites in Mount Seir.9This is the account of Esau’s descendants, the Edomites, who lived in the hill country of Seir.
