Genesis 36:2
Esau married 3 women who came from the country called Canaan. Their names were Adah, Ohol-i-bar-mah and Bas-e-math, whose other name was Ma-ha-lath. Adah was the daughter of a Hittite man called Elon, and she gave Esau a son named Eli-faz. Ohol-i-bar-mah was the daughter of a man named Anah. Her grandfather's name was Zibeon who was a Hivite man. Ohol-i-bar-mah gave Esau 3 sons, Jeush, Jalam and Korah. Bas-e-math's father was Ishmael, Isaac's brother. Bas-e-math had a brother who was named Neb-you-cad-nezzaray-oth. Bas-e-math gave Esau a son named Rew-el. All these children were born while Esau and his wives lived in Canaan.
