Genesis 36:9 In-Context

7 For their possessions were {too many to live together}, so that the land of their sojourning was not able to support them on account of their livestock.

8 So Esau dwelled in the hill country of Seir (Esau, that [is] Edom).

9 Now these [are] the descendants of Esau, the father of Edom, in the hill country of Seir.

10 These [are] the names of the sons of Esau: Eliphaz, the son of Adah, the wife of Esau; Reuel, the son of Basemath, the wife of Esau.

11 The sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz.
