Oholibamah was one of Esau's wives, the daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite. She is mentioned in Genesis as the mother of three of Esau's sons and became a matriarch for several Edomite clans. Her marriage to Esau was part of his connection to the peoples in the land of Canaan.
Esau took Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah, son of Zibeon the Hivite, as his wife. This was one of several marriages Esau entered into with women from the local peoples.
2Esau took his wives from the daughters of Canaan: Adah daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah daughter of Anah, granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite,[^1]
[^1]: The Hebrew reads "daughter of Zibeon"; according to verses 24–25 Zibeon was Anah's father, so "granddaughter" is intended.
Esau took his wives, including Oholibamah, his sons, daughters and all his household, and moved to the mountains of Seir, away from his brother Jacob, because the land could not support them both.
6Esau took his wives, his sons and daughters, and everyone in his household, along with his livestock, all his animals, and all the property he had acquired in the land of Canaan, and he moved to another land, away from his brother Jacob.
The sons of Oholibamah—Jeush, Jalam and Korah—became tribal chiefs in the land of Edom. They are specifically mentioned as the sons of Oholibamah, Esau's wife.
18These were the sons of Esau's wife Oholibamah: Chief Jeush, Chief Jalam, Chief Korah. These were the chiefs descended from Esau's wife Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah.
