1This is the family history of Esau, who was also called Edom.
2Esau married Canaanite women: Adah, the daughter of Elon the Hittite; and Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah, who was the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite.
3He also married Basemath, the daughter of Ishmael and sister of Nebaioth.
4Adah had a son named Eliphaz by Esau. Basemath had a son named Reuel.
5Oholibamah had sons named Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. These were Esau’s sons, born to him in the land of Canaan.
6Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters, and everyone in his household, along with all his livestock, animals, and possessions that he had acquired in Canaan, and moved to another land, away from his brother Jacob.
7They had too many possessions to live together, and the land where they had been traveling could not support them both because of their large herds of livestock.
8Esau lived in the hill country of Seir. Esau is also known as Edom.
9This is the family history of Esau, the ancestor of the Edomites, who lived in the hill country of Seir:
10Esau’s sons were Eliphaz, born to Adah his wife, and Reuel, born to Basemath his wife.
11The sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz.
12Timna was a concubine of Eliphaz, Esau’s son, and she bore Amalek to Eliphaz. These were the descendants of Adah, Esau’s wife.
13Reuel’s sons were Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. These were the descendants of Basemath, Esau’s wife.
14The sons of Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon, Esau’s wife, were Jeush, Jalam, and Korah, born to Esau.
15These are the chiefs among Esau’s descendants: From Eliphaz, Esau’s firstborn, came chiefs Teman, Omar, Zepho, Kenaz,
16Korah, Gatam, and Amalek. These were the chiefs who descended from Eliphaz in the land of Edom; they were the descendants of Adah.
17From Reuel, Esau’s son, came chiefs Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. These were the chiefs who descended from Reuel in the land of Edom; they were the descendants of Basemath, Esau’s wife.
18From Oholibamah, Esau’s wife, came chiefs Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. These were the chiefs who descended from Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah, Esau’s wife.
19These are the sons and chiefs of Esau, also known as Edom.
20These were the sons of Seir the Horite, the people who lived in the land: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, and Anah.

26Dishon's children were Hemdan, Eshban, Ithran, and Cheran.
