Esau's marriages to Canaanite women, including Oholibamah, were a source of grief to his parents, Isaac and Rebekah, as they were outside the covenant lineage. This highlights the tension between Esau's choices and the covenant promises given to Abraham and Isaac.<p><b>(daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon)</b><br>Anah and Zibeon are mentioned as part of the Horite lineage, a group of people who lived in the region of Seir before Esau's descendants, the Edomites, took control. The Horites were known for their connection to the land of Seir, which is located in the mountainous region of Edom, south of the Dead Sea. This geographical context is significant as it sets the stage for the later conflicts between Israel and Edom.<p><b>whom she bore to Esau: Jeush, Jalam, and Korah.</b><br>Jeush, Jalam, and Korah are the sons of Esau and Oholibamah. These names are significant as they represent the continuation of Esau's lineage, which would become the Edomites. The Edomites are frequently mentioned in the Old Testament as adversaries of Israel, highlighting the long-standing enmity between the descendants of Jacob and Esau. The mention of these sons also underscores the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham that he would be the father of many nations, as Esau's descendants became a distinct nation.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/esau.htm">Esau</a></b><br>The elder son of Isaac and Rebekah, twin brother of Jacob.
