1Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom.
1Now these are the generations of Esau, that is to say, Edom.
2Esau 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;
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,
3And Bashemath Ishmael’s daughter, sister of Nebajoth.
3And Basemath, Ishmael's daughter, the sister of Nebaioth.
4And Adah bare to Esau Eliphaz; and Bashemath bare Reuel;
4Adah had a son Eliphaz; and Basemath was the mother of Reuel;
5And Aholibamah bare Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah: these are the sons of Esau, which were born unto him in the land of Canaan.
5Oholibamah was the mother of Jeush, Jalam, and Korah; these are the sons of Esau, whose birth took place in the land of Canaan.
6And 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.
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.
7For 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.
7For their wealth was so great that the land was not wide enough for the two of them and all their cattle.
8Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau is Edom.
8So Esau made his living-place in the hill-country of Seir (Esau is Edom).
9And these are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in mount Seir:
