Genesis 36:4-17

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

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

9These then are the records of the generations of Esau the father of 9the Edomites in the hill country of Seir. 10These are the names of Esau’s sons: Eliphaz the son of Esau’s wife Adah, and Reuel the son of Esau’s wife Basemath. 11The sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, 10Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz. 12Timna was a concubine of Esau’s son Eliphaz, and she bore 11Amalek to Eliphaz. These are the sons of Esau’s wife Adah. 13And these are the sons of Reuel: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. These were the sons of Esau’s wife Basemath. 14And these were the sons of Esau’s wife Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah, the 12granddaughter of Zibeon: 13she bore to Esau Jeush, 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, and chief Amalek. These are the chiefs 14descended from Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Adah. 17And these are the sons of Reuel, Esau’s son: chief Nahath, chief Zerah, chief Shammah, and chief Mizzah. These are the chiefs 15descended from Reuel in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Esau’s wife Basemath.
