1 This is the genealogy of 'Esav (that is, Edom).
1
Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom.
2 'Esav chose Kena'ani women as his wives: 'Adah the daughter of Eilon the Hitti; Oholivamah the daughter of 'Anah the daughter of Tziv'on the Hivi;
2
Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite;
3 and Basmat Yishma'el's daughter, sister of N'vayot.
3
And Bashemath Ishmael's daughter, sister of Nebajoth.
4 'Adah bore to 'Esav Elifaz, Basmat bore Re'u'el,
4
And Adah bare to Esau Eliphaz; and Bashemath bare Reuel;
5 and Oholivamah bore Ye'ush, Ya'lam and Korach. These were the sons of 'Esav born to him in the land of Kena'an.
5
And Aholibamah bare Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah: these are the sons of Esau, which were born unto him in the land of Canaan.
6 'Esav took his wives, his sons and daughters, the others in his household, his cattle and other animals and everything else he owned, which he had acquired in the land of Kena'an, and went off to a country distant from his brother Ya'akov.
6
And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the persons of his house, and his cattle, and all his beasts, and all his substance, which he had got in the land of Canaan; and went into the country from the face of his brother Jacob.
7 For their possessions had become too great for them to live together, and the countryside through which they were traveling couldn't support so much livestock.
7
For their riches were more than that they might dwell together; and the land wherein they were strangers could not bear them because of their cattle.
8 So 'Esav lived in the hill-country of Se'ir. ('Esav is Edom.)
8
Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau is Edom.
9 This is the genealogy of 'Esav the father of Edom in the hill-country of Se'ir.
9
And these are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in mount Seir:
