1These are the generations of Esau (that is, Edom).

1וְאֵ֛לֶּה תֹּלְד֥וֹת עֵשָׂ֖ו ה֥וּא אֱדֽוֹם׃

2Esau took his wives from the Canaanites: Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, Oholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite,

2עֵשָׂ֛ו לָקַ֥ח אֶת־ נָשָׁ֖יו מִבְּנ֣וֹת כְּנָ֑עַן אֶת־ עָדָ֗ה בַּת־ אֵילוֹן֙ הַֽחִתִּ֔י וְאֶת־ אָהֳלִֽיבָמָה֙ בַּת־ עֲנָ֔ה בַּת־ צִבְע֖וֹן הַֽחִוִּֽי׃

3and Basemath, Ishmael’s daughter, the sister of Nebaioth.

3וְאֶת־ בָּשְׂמַ֥ת בַּת־ יִשְׁמָעֵ֖אל אֲח֥וֹת נְבָיֽוֹת׃

4And Adah bore to Esau, Eliphaz; Basemath bore Reuel;

4וַתֵּ֧לֶד עָדָ֛ה לְעֵשָׂ֖ו אֶת־ אֱלִיפָ֑ז וּבָ֣שְׂמַ֔ת יָלְדָ֖ה אֶת־ רְעוּאֵֽל׃

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

5וְאָהֳלִֽיבָמָה֙ יָֽלְדָ֔ה אֶת־ [יעיש] (יְע֥וּשׁ) וְאֶת־ יַעְלָ֖ם וְאֶת־ קֹ֑רַח אֵ֚לֶּה בְּנֵ֣י עֵשָׂ֔ו אֲשֶׁ֥ר יֻלְּדוּ־ ל֖וֹ בְּאֶ֥רֶץ כְּנָֽעַן׃

6Then Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters, and all the members of his household, his livestock, all his beasts, and all his property that he had acquired in the land of Canaan. He went into a land away from his brother Jacob.

6וַיִּקַּ֣ח עֵשָׂ֡ו אֶת־ נָ֠שָׁיו וְאֶת־ בָּנָ֣יו וְאֶת־ בְּנֹתָיו֮ וְאֶת־ כָּל־ נַפְשׁ֣וֹת בֵּיתוֹ֒ וְאֶת־ מִקְנֵ֣הוּ וְאֶת־ כָּל־ בְּהֶמְתּ֗וֹ וְאֵת֙ כָּל־ קִנְיָנ֔וֹ אֲשֶׁ֥ר רָכַ֖שׁ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ כְּנָ֑עַן וַיֵּ֣לֶךְ אֶל־ אֶ֔רֶץ מִפְּנֵ֖י יַעֲקֹ֥ב אָחִֽיו׃

7For their possessions were too great for them to dwell together. The land of their sojournings could not support them because of their livestock.

7כִּֽי־ הָיָ֧ה רְכוּשָׁ֛ם רָ֖ב מִשֶּׁ֣בֶת יַחְדָּ֑ו וְלֹ֨א יָֽכְלָ֜ה אֶ֤רֶץ מְגֽוּרֵיהֶם֙ לָשֵׂ֣את אֹתָ֔ם מִפְּנֵ֖י מִקְנֵיהֶֽם׃

8So Esau settled in the hill country of Seir. (Esau is Edom.)

8וַיֵּ֤שֶׁב עֵשָׂו֙ בְּהַ֣ר שֵׂעִ֔יר עֵשָׂ֖ו ה֥וּא אֱדֽוֹם׃

9These are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in the hill country of Seir.
