Genesis 36

1 And these are the generations of Esau; that is Edom.2 Esau took his wives from the daughters of Canaan: Adah, the daughter of Elon the Hittite; and Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite;3 and Basemath, the daughter of Ishmael, sister of Nebajoth.4 And Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau. And Basemath bore Reuel.5 And Oholibamah bore Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah. These were the sons of Esau who were born to him in the land of Canaan.6 And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the souls of his house, and his livestock, and all the beasts of burden, and all his property which he had gained in Canaan, and he went to a land away from his brother Jacob.7 For their possessions had become too great for them to dwell together. And the land was not able to bear their travels, in the presence of their livestock.8 And Esau dwelt on Mount Seir. Esau is Edom.

9 And these were the generations of Esau, the father of Edom on Mount Seir;10 these the names of Esau's sons: Eliphaz, the son of Adah, Esau's wife; Reuel, the son of Basemath, Esau's wife.11 And the sons of Eliphaz: Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenaz.12 And Timna was a concubine to Esau's son, Eliphaz, and she bore Amalek to Eliphaz.
