This site's exposition

Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau

on Genesis 36:4-5

Five sons are born to Esau, and verse 5 says where, in the land of Canaan, before he leaves it. Jerome notes that Eliphaz carries the name of the friend who speaks to Job. Job's Eliphaz is a Temanite, which is the name of this Eliphaz's firstborn in verse 11.

This site's exposition

Oholibamah gave birth to Jeush, Jalam, and Korah

Esau's five sons were born in Canaan, and Jacob's eleven were born in Paddan-aram, as Genesis 35:26 has just said. This Korah is Esau's son. The Levite who rebels at Numbers 16 carries the same name.
