Genesis 36, side by side

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

¹Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom.

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

²Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite;

³and Basemath daughter of Ishmael and sister of Nebaioth.

³And Bashemath Ishmael’s daughter, sister of Nebajoth.

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

⁴And Adah bare to Esau Eliphaz; and Bashemath bare Reuel;

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

⁵And Aholibamah bare Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah: these are the sons of Esau, which were born unto him in the land of Canaan.

⁶Later, Esau took his wives and sons and daughters and all the people of his household, along with his livestock, all his other animals, and all the property he had acquired in Canaan, and he moved to a land far away from his brother Jacob.

⁶And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the persons of his house, and his cattle, and all his beasts, and all his substance, which he had got in the land of Canaan; and went into the country from the face of his brother Jacob.

⁷For their possessions were too great for them to dwell together; the land where they stayed could not support them because of their livestock.

⁷For their riches were more than that they might dwell together; and the land wherein they were strangers could not bear them because of their cattle.

⁸So Esau (that is, Edom) settled in the area of Mount Seir.

⁸Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau is Edom.
