The descendants of Esau

36Verse 1◄Here is/I will now give you► a list of the descendants of Esau, whose other name was Edom.^{Verse 2}Esau married three women from the Canaan region: Adah, the daughter of Elon from the Heth people-group; Oholibamah, who was the daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon from the Hiv people-group;^{Verse 3}and Basemath, who was the daughter of Ishmael and sister of Nebaioth.^{Verse 4}Esau’s wife Adah gave birth to Eliphaz. Basemath gave birth to Reuel.^{Verse 5}Oholibamah gave birth to Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. All these sons of Esau were born while he was living in the Canaan region.^{Verse 6}Jacob and Esau had very many possessions. The result was that they needed more land for their livestock. The land where they were living was not big enough for both of them. They had too much livestock. So Esau, whose other name was Edom, had taken his wives and sons and daughters and all the other members of his household, his sheep and goats and his other animals, and all the other things he had obtained in Canaan land, and they had moved to an area that was away from Jacob.^{Verse 8}They went to live in the Seir hilly area.^{Verse 9}◄Here is/I will now give you► another list of the male descendants of Esau. He was the ancestor of the Edom people-group who live in the Seir area.^{Verse 10}Esau’s wife Adah gave birth to Eliphaz, and Esau’s wife Basemath gave birth to Reuel.^{Verse 11}The sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz.^{Verse 12}Esau’s son Eliphaz also had a ◄concubine/female slave whom he took as a secondary wife►. Her name was Timna. She gave birth to Amalek. Those six men were grandsons of Esau’s wife Adah.^{Verse 13}Reuel’s sons were Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah.
