This is the account1 of Esau (that is, Edom).22
Esau took his wives from the women of Canaan:3 Adah daughter of Elon the Hittite,4 and Oholibamah5 daughter of Anah6 and granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite7--

also Basemath8 daughter of Ishmael and sister of Nebaioth.94
Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau, Basemath bore Reuel,105
and Oholibamah bore Jeush, Jalam and Korah.11 These were the sons of Esau, who were born to him in Canaan.

Esau took his wives and sons and daughters and all the members of his household, as well as his livestock and all his other animals and all the goods he had acquired in Canaan,12 and moved to a land some distance from his brother Jacob.137
Their possessions were too great for them to remain together; the land where they were staying could not support them both because of their livestock.148
