Genesis 36:8 Context
6And Esau tooke his wiues, and his sonnes, and his daughters, and all the persons of his house, and his cattell, and all his beasts, and all his substance, which he had got in the lande of Canaan: and went into the countrey from the face of his brother Iacob. 7For their riches were more then that they might dwell together: and the land wherein they were strangers, could not beare them, because of their cattell. 8Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau is Edom. 9¶ And these are the generations of Esau, the father of the Edomites in mount Seir. 10These are the names of Esaus sonnes: Eliphaz the sonne of Adah the wife of Esau, Reuel the sonne of Bashemath, the wife of Esau.

Wesley's Notes for Genesis 36:8
36:8 Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir - Whatever opposition may be made, God's word will take place, and even those that have opposed it will see themselves, some time or other, under a necessity of yielding to it. Esau had struggled for Canaan, but now he retires to mount Seir; for God's counsels shall certainly stand concerning the times before appointed, and the bounds of our habitation.
