Genesis 36

I like the name Oholibamah!

Esau here gives Jacob space in order for them to coexist peacefully. I wonder if that was purely a logistical move, having to do with their flocks, or a move meant to preserve mental health. And did Esau stomp off, away from the land he's inhabited his whole life, or did he welcome the change?
