Genesis 36:4-17

4Adah bore 1Eliphaz to Esau, and Basemath bore Reuel, 5and Oholibamah bore Jeush and Jalam and Korah. These are the sons of Esau who were born to him in the land of Canaan.

62Then Esau took his wives and his sons and his daughters and all 3his household, and his livestock and all his cattle and all his goods which he had acquired in the land of Canaan, and went to another land away from his brother Jacob. 74For their property had become too great for them to 5live together, and the 6land where they 7sojourned could not sustain them because of their livestock. 8So Esau lived in the hill country of 8Seir; Esau is 9Edom.

9These then are the records of the generations of Esau the father of 10the Edomites in the hill country of Seir. 10These are the names of Esau’s sons: Eliphaz the son of Esau’s wife Adah, Reuel the son of Esau’s wife Basemath. 11The sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, 11Zepho and Gatam and Kenaz. 12Timna was a concubine of Esau’s son Eliphaz and she bore 12Amalek to Eliphaz. These are the sons of Esau’s wife Adah. 13These are the sons of Reuel: Nahath and Zerah, Shammah and Mizzah. These were the sons of Esau’s wife Basemath. 14These were the sons of Esau’s wife Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah and the 13granddaughter of Zibeon: 14she bore to Esau, Jeush and Jalam and Korah.

15These are the chiefs of the sons of Esau. The sons of Eliphaz, the firstborn of Esau, are chief Teman, chief Omar, chief Zepho, chief Kenaz, 16chief Korah, chief Gatam, chief Amalek. These are the chiefs 15descended from Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Adah. 17These are the sons of Reuel, Esau’s son: chief Nahath, chief Zerah, chief Shammah, chief Mizzah. These are the chiefs 16descended from Reuel in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Esau’s wife Basemath.
