Gen 34
This is the account of the descendants
of Esau (also known as Edom). 2 Esau
married two young women from Ca
naan:
Adah, the daughter of Elon the Hittite; and
Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah and grand
daughter of Zibeon the Hivite. 3 He also married
his cousin Basemath, who was the daughter of
Ishmael and the sister of N
ebaioth. 4 Adah gave
birth to a son named Eliphaz for Esau. Base
math gave birth to a son named Reuel. 5 Oholi
bamah gave birth to sons named Jeush, Jalam,
and Korah. All these sons were born to Esau in
the land of Canaan.

Esau took his wives, his children, and his
entire household, along with his livestock and
cattle—all the wealth he had acquired in the
land of Canaan—and moved away from his
brother, Jacob. 7 There was not enough land to
support them both because of all the livestock
and possessions they had acquired. 8 So Esau
(also known as Edom) settled in the hill country of Seir.
9
This is the account of Esau’s descendants,
the Edomites, who lived in the hill country of
Seir.
