The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine): Esau accepit uxores de filiabus Chanaan : Ada filiam Elon Hethæi, et Oolibama filiam Anæ filiæ Sebeon Hevæi :
Septuagint (Swete): Ἠσαὺ δὲ ἔλαβεν γυναῖκας ἑαυτῷ ἀπὸ τῶν θυγατέρων τῶν Χαναναίων· τὴν Ἀδά, θυγατέρα Ἐλὼμ τοῦ Χετταίου, καὶ τὴν Ὀλιβεμά, θυγατέρα Ἀνὰ τοῦ υἱοῦ Σεβεγὼν τοῦ Εὑαίου,
Hebrew (WLC): עֵשָׂ֛ו לָקַ֥ח אֶת נָשָׁ֖יו מִבְּנ֣וֹת כְּנָ֑עַן אֶת עָדָ֗ה בַּת אֵילוֹן֙ הַֽחִתִּ֔י וְאֶת אָהֳלִֽיבָמָה֙ בַּת עֲנָ֔ה בַּת צִבְע֖וֹן הַֽחִוִּֽי

Haydock's commentary

Ada. These wives of Esau are called by other names, chap. xxvi. But it was very common amongst the ancients for the same persons to have two names, as Esau himself was also called Edom. (Challoner)

Ana the daughter of Sebeon. It is not certain that Ana was a woman. The Samaritan and Septuagint make him son of Sebeon, both here and ver. 14, (Haydock) as well as some Latin copies; and he is mentioned as such, ver. 24. The daughter of Sebeon may, therefore, designate his grand-daughter, which is not unusual. Sebeon is called Hevite, Hethite, and Horrite, on account of his dwelling in different countries; though some think they were different persons. (Calmet)

This, and innumerable other difficulties, may convince Protestants that the Scriptures are not easy. (Worthington)
