Genesis 36:6-16

6 Esau took his wives, sons, daughters, and all the people of his household, as well as his herds, all his livestock, and all the property he had acquired in Canaan; he went to a land away from his brother Jacob.
7 For their possessions were too many [for them] to live together, and because of their herds, the land where they stayed could not support them.
8 So Esau (that is, Edom) lived in the mountains of Seir.[a]
9 These are the family records of Esau, father of the Edomites in the mountains of Seir.
10 These are the names of Esau's sons: Eliphaz son of Esau's wife Adah, and Reuel son of Esau's wife Basemath.
11 The sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz.
12 Timna, a concubine of Esau's son Eliphaz, bore Amalek to Eliphaz. These were the sons of Esau's wife Adah.
13 These are Reuel's sons: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. These were the sons of Esau's wife Basemath.
14 These are the sons of Esau's wife Oholibamah daughter of Anah and granddaughter[b] of Zibeon: She bore Jeush, Jalam, and Korah to Edom.
15 These are the chiefs of Esau's sons: the sons of Eliphaz, Esau's firstborn: Chiefs Teman, Omar, Zepho, Kenaz,
16 Korah,[c] Gatam, and Amalek. These are the chiefs of Eliphaz in the land of Edom. These are the sons of Adah.
