Judite, Basemate, Ada, Aolibana and another Basemate These are Esau's wives.

Judite, Basemate, Ada, Aolibana and another Basemate These are Esau's wives. And wives come up with some questions, the Biblical passages are: "Now, being Esau of the age of forty, he took Judith, daughter of Beeri, Hittite, and Basemate, daughter of Elom, Hittite." (Gen. 26:34), “2Esau took his wives from the daughters of Canaan; Ada, daughter of Elom, Hittite, and Aolibama, daughter of Aná, son of Zibeon, Hivite. 3And Basemate, daughter of Ishmael, sister of Nebaioth. ” (Gen 36: 2,3). Question A) How many wives did Esau have? Answer, I believe that 4, although there are those who defend that there were 3, the four wives were then: 1) Judith, daughter of Beeri, Hittite; 2) Basemate also called Ada, daughter of Elom, Hittite; 3) Aolibama, daughter of Aná, son of Zibeão, Hebrew; and 4) Basemate also called Mahalath, daughter of Ishmael, sister of Nebaioth: “Esau went to Ishmael, and took for himself wife, in addition to his wives, the daughter of Ishmael, the son of Abraham, sister of Nebaioth.” (Gen. 28: 9). There are those who understand that Esau had only 3 women, being that 1 and 2, that is, Judite and Aolibama would be the same person, Beeri and Aná being the same person, they understand this in the light of chapter 36, for example, the verse 24: “and these are the sons of Zibeon: Aiá and Aná; this is Aná who found the hot springs in the desert, when she was feeding the donkeys of Zibeão, his father. ” (Gen 36:24); it is important to remember that it was very common for people to have more than one name, even changing their names, so it was with Abraham and Jacob, hence the difficulty, sometimes, of identification, among the defenders of this solution there are, for example, women who they gave many children nor were they sited. In this case Judith would have been mentioned, but with her other name in Gn 36. As seen, following one or the other position, the hypothesis of contradiction is expunged.
