Genesis 36

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

Now, this is about Esau's family, also called Edom.

Esau 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;

Esau married women from Canaan. One was Adah, daughter of Elon the Hittite, and the other was Aholibamah, granddaughter of Anah and Zibeon, who were Hivites.

And Bashemath Ishmael’s daughter, sister of Nebajoth.

Bashemath was the daughter of Ishmael, and she was also the sister of Nebajoth.

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

Adah gave birth to Eliphaz for Esau, while Bashemath gave birth to Reuel.

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

Aholibamah had three sons: Jeush, Jaalam, and Korah. They were Esau's children, born to him in the land called Canaan.

And 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.

Esau gathered his wives, children, family members, livestock, possessions, and everything he owned in Canaan, then left, moving away from his brother Jacob.

For 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.

Because they had too many possessions, it was hard for them to live together. The foreign land where they stayed couldn't handle their animals either.
