---

← Genesis 36:6	Genesis 36:7 (KJV)	Genesis 36:8 →
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.	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.	Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau [is] Edom.
