“Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite;”
Esau took his wives from the women of Canaan: Adah daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite. The Canaanite wives of Esau — the source of grief in Genesis 26:35 — are named and enumerated in the genealogy. The application: the genealogy of Esau begins with the wives whose choice defined the family's covenant departure from Isaac's instructions.
