So Esau (also known as Edom) lived in the hill country of Seir.

These were the names of Esau’s sons: Eliphaz, the son of Esau’s wife Adah, and Reuel, the son of Esau’s wife Basemath.

So that same day Esau made his way back to Seir.

What follows is the account of Esau (also known as Edom).

Now Rebekah had been listening while Isaac spoke to his son Esau. When Esau went out to the open fields to hunt down some wild game and bring it back,

Esau said to his father, “Do you have only that one blessing, my father? Bless me too!” Then Esau wept loudly.

Timna, a concubine of Esau’s son Eliphaz, bore Amalek to Eliphaz. These were the sons of Esau’s wife Adah.

These were the chiefs among the descendants of Esau, the sons of Eliphaz, Esau’s firstborn: chief Teman, chief Omar, chief Zepho, chief Kenaz,

“Look,” said Esau, “I’m about to die! What use is the birthright to me?”

He did not recognize him because his hands were hairy, like his brother Esau’s hands. So Isaac blessed Jacob.

His father Isaac asked, “Who are you?” “I am your firstborn son,” he replied, “Esau!”
