Esau married two young women from Canaan: Adah, the daughter of Elon the Hittite; and Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite.

Genesis 36:3

He also married his cousin Basemath, who was the daughter of Ishmael and the sister of Nebaioth.

Adah gave birth to a son named Eliphaz for Esau. Basemath gave birth to a son named Reuel.

Oholibamah gave birth to sons named Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. All these sons were born to Esau in the land of Canaan.

Genesis 36:6

Esau took his wives, his children, and his entire household, along with his livestock and cattle-- all the wealth he had acquired in the land of Canaan-- and moved away from his brother, Jacob.

There was not enough land to support them both because of all the livestock and possessions they had acquired.
