1. These are the descendants of Esau, also called Edom.
2. Esau married Canaanite women: Adah, the daughter of Elon the Hittite; Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah son of Zibeon the Hivite;
3. and Basemath, the daughter of Ishmael and sister of Nebaioth.
4. Adah bore Eliphaz; Basemath bore Reuel;
5. and Oholibamah bore Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. All these sons were born to Esau in the land of Canaan.
6. Then Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters, and all the people of his house, together with all his livestock and all the possessions he had acquired in the land of Canaan, and went away from his brother Jacob to another land.
7. He left because the land where he and Jacob were living was not able to support them; they had too much livestock and could no longer stay together.
8. So Esau lived in the hill country of Edom.
9. These are the descendants of Esau, the ancestor of the Edomites.
