Le yimbali yosapho luka-Esawu (oko kukuthi, ngu-Edom). U-Esawu wazeka abafazi bakhe kwiintombi zaseKanan: uAda intombi ka-Elon umHeti, no-Oholibama intombi ka-Ana, intombi kaTsibheyon umHivi, noBhasemati intombi ka-Ishmayeli, udade boNebhayoti. UAda wamzalela u-Esawu uElifazi, uBhasemati wazala uRuweli, uOholibama wazala uYewushe, noYalam, noKora—oonyana baka-Esawu, awabazalelwa kwilizwe laseKanan. U-Esawu wathabatha abafazi bakhe, oonyana bakhe, iintombi zakhe, bonke abendlu yakhe, imfuyo yakhe, zonke izilwanyana zakhe, nayo yonke impahla awayeyizuzile eKanan, waza wafudukela kwilizwe elikude nomntakwabo uYakobi. Impahla yabo yayininzi kakhulu ukuba bangahlala kunye; ilizwe ababehlala kulo lalingenakubaxhasa bobabini ngenxa yemfuyo yabo. Ngoko ke u-Esawu wahlala kummandla weentaba waseSeyire.
