Oholibamah Article
STEPBible TIPNR
Oholibamah was one of the wives of Esau, the son of Isaac and Rebekah (Gen 36:2). She was the daughter of Anah and the granddaughter of Zibeon, both descendants of Seir the Horite (Gen.36.2, 14). Oholibamah bore three sons to Esau: Jeush, Jalam, and Korah (Gen.36.5, 14, 18). She is mentioned in the genealogies of Esau, which list his wives, descendants, and the chiefs of Edom (Gen.36.18, 41; 1Ch 1:52). As one of Esau's wives, Oholibamah played a role in the establishment of the Edomite nation, which descended from Esau.
