Study note
Setting — The narrator documents Esau’s family record immediately after listing the sons born to his wives Adah and Basemath, marking the end of the Canaan-born generation before noting Esau’s relocation.
The words — יָֽלְדָ֔ה (Yal.dah) means “she bore,” and אָהֳלִֽיבָמָה ('o.ho.li.va.Mah) names the mother Oholibamah.
The thread — The verse continues the patriarchal birth register that concludes in Genesis 35:29 with the death and burial of Jacob.
Why it lands — The text establishes that Oholibamah bore three sons to Esau in Canaan, providing the factual lineage required before the narrative records Esau’s departure.
