1 This is the account of Esau (that is, Edom).

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

and Basemath daughter of Ishmael and sister of Nebaioth.

4 And Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau, Basemath gave birth to Reuel,

5 and Oholibamah gave birth to Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. These were the sons of Esau, who were born to him in the land of Canaan.
