What does Genesis 36:13 mean?

After listing the sons and grandsons of Esau by his wife Adah (Genesis 36:10–12), this verse lists his sons and grandsons with his wife Basemath. Her son Reuel sired Nahath, meaning "pure" or "rest," Zerah, or "God has shone," Shammah, translated as "God has heard," and Mizzah, whose name means "fear."

These are part of the nation of Edomites, a culture that would clash with the descendants of Esau's twin brother, the Israelites, throughout the Old Testament (Numbers 20:14–21; 1 Samuel 14:47; 2 Kings 8:20; Obadiah 1:8–11).
