Timeline
Esau's generations are detailed, noting his wives (Adah, Oholibamah, Basemath) and sons (Eliphaz, Reuel, Jeush, Jaalam, Korah). Esau takes his family and possessions and moves away from Jacob to Mount Seir, as their possessions were too great for them to live together in Canaan. Esau is also called Edom.
Genesis 36:1-8The chiefs and kings descended from Esau are listed, including Anah who found the hot springs. A list of kings who reigned in Edom before any king reigned in Israel is also provided.
