Genesis 36:7 in Context — Genesis 36

5 et Oholibama enfanta Jéusch, Jaelam et Koré. Ce sont là les fils d’Ésaü, qui lui naquirent dans le pays de Canaan.

6 Ésaü prit ses femmes, ses fils et ses filles, toutes les personnes de sa maison, ses troupeaux, tout son bétail, et tout le bien qu’il avait acquis au pays de Canaan, et il s’en alla dans un autre pays, loin de Jacob, son frère.

7 Car leurs richesses étaient trop considérables pour qu’ils demeurassent ensemble, et la contrée où ils séjournaient ne pouvait plus leur suffire à cause de leurs troupeaux.

8 Ésaü s’établit dans la montagne de Séir. Ésaü, c’est Édom.

9 Voici la postérité d’Ésaü, père d’Édom, dans la montagne de Séir.
