Esau Moves

(1Ch 1:35–42 )

Gen 36:1Now these are the generations of Esau, that is to say, Edom.

Gen 36:2Esau'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,

Gen 36:3

Gen 36:3And Basemath, Ishmael's daughter, the sister of Nebaioth.

Gen 36:4

Gen 36:4Adah had a son Eliphaz; and Basemath was the mother of Reuel;

Gen 36:5

Gen 36:5Oholibamah was the mother of Jeush, Jalam, and Korah; these are the sons of Esau, whose birth took place in the land of Canaan.

Gen 36:6

Gen 36:6Esau 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.

Gen 36:7

Gen 36:7For their wealth was so great that the land was not wide enough for the two of them and all their cattle.

Gen 36:8

Gen 36:8So Esau made his living-place in the hill-country of Seir (Esau is Edom).
