Genesis 36 — Side by side (BBE, ASV, WEB)

1Now these are the generations of Esau, that is to say, Edom.

1Now these are the generations of Esau (the same is Edom).

2Esau's wives were women of Canaan: Adah, the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite,

2Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan: Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite,

3And Basemath, Ishmael's daughter, the sister of Nebaioth.

3and Basemath Ishmael’s daughter, sister of Nebaioth.

4Adah had a son Eliphaz; and Basemath was the mother of Reuel;

4And Adah bare to Esau Eliphaz; and Basemath bare Reuel;

5Oholibamah was the mother of Jeush, Jalam, and Korah; these are the sons of Esau, whose birth took place in the land of Canaan.

5and Oholibamah bare Jeush, and Jalam, and Korah: these are the sons of Esau, that were born unto him in the land of Canaan.

6Esau took his wives and his sons and his daughters, and all the people of his house, and his beasts and his cattle and all his goods which he had got together in the land of Canaan, and went into the land of Seir, away from his brother Jacob.

6And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the souls of his house, and his cattle, and all his beasts, and all his possessions, which he had gathered in the land of Canaan; and went into a land away from his brother Jacob.

7For their wealth was so great that the land was not wide enough for the two of them and all their cattle.

7For their substance was too great for them to dwell together; and the land of their sojournings could not bear them because of their cattle.

8So Esau made his living-place in the hill-country of Seir (Esau is Edom).

8And Esau dwelt in mount Seir: Esau is Edom.

9And these are the generations of Esau, the father of the Edomites in the hill-country of Seir:
