These were the sons of Esau born to him in Canaan.6Esau took his wives, his sons and daughters, al the members of his household, his livestock, al hiscattle and al the goods he had acquired in Canaan and left for Seir, away from his brother Jacob.7For they had acquired too much to live together. The land in which they were at that time could notsupport them both because of their livestock.8That is why Edom settled in the mountainous region of Seir. Esau is Edom.9These are the descendants of Esau, ancestor of Edom, in the mountainous region of Seir.10These are the names of Esau's sons: Eliphaz son of Esau's wife Adah, and Reuel son of Esau's wifeBasemath.11The sons of Eliphaz were: Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam and Kenaz.12Eliphaz son of Esau had Timna for concubine and she bore him Amalek.
