Esau settles in the hill country of Seir
Because the land could not support both brothers' possessions, Esau moved away from Jacob and settled in the hill country of Seir. He became the father of Edom (Genesis 36:6-9).
undated in Scripture
📖 Genesis 36:6–8
6Later, Esau took his wives and sons and daughters and all the people of his household, along with his livestock, all his other animals, and all the property he had acquired in Canaan, and he moved to a land far away from his brother Jacob. 7For their possessions were too great for them to dwell together; the land where they stayed could not support them because of their livestock. 8So Esau (that is, Edom) settled in the area of Mount Seir.
