Genesis 36:1-8

1 hae sunt autem generationes Esau ipse est Edom

2 Esau accepit uxores de filiabus Chanaan Ada filiam Elom Hetthei et Oolibama filiam Anae filiae Sebeon Evei

3 Basemath quoque filiam Ismahel sororem Nabaioth

4 peperit autem Ada Eliphaz Basemath genuit Rauhel

5 Oolibama edidit Hieus et Hielom et Core hii filii Esau qui nati sunt ei in terra Chanaan

6 tulit autem Esau uxores suas et filios et filias et omnem animam domus suae et substantiam et pecora et cuncta quae habere poterat in terra Chanaan et abiit in alteram regionem recessitque a fratre suo Iacob

7 divites enim erant valde et simul habitare non poterant nec sustinebat eos terra peregrinationis eorum prae multitudine gregum

8 habitavitque Esau in monte Seir ipse est Edom
