Jacob sent messengers in front of him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, the field of Edom.

He said to Jacob,“ Quick! I’m very hungry! Let me have some of that red stew!” That’s why he was also named Edom.

To Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau. I gave the hill country of Seir to Esau. But Jacob and his family went down to Egypt.

Do not make them angry. If you do, they will go to war against you. I will not give you any of their land. You will not have even enough to put your foot on. I have given Esau’s people the hill country of Seir as their own.

So you go on ahead of me. I’ll move along only as fast as the flocks and herds and the children can go. I’ll go slowly until I come to you in Seir.”

They did the same thing to the Horites in the hill country of Seir. They marched all the way to El Paran near the desert.

Esau moved to a land far away from his brother Jacob. Esau took with him his wives, his sons and daughters, and all the people who lived with him. He also took his livestock and all his other animals. He took everything he had acquired in Canaan.Jacob and Esau owned so much that they couldn’t remain together. There wasn’t enough land for both of them. They had too much livestock.So Esau made his home in the hill country of Seir. Esau was also called Edom.Here is the story of the family line of Esau. He’s the father of the people of Edom. They live in the hill country of Seir.

He sent messengers on ahead. They went into a Samaritan village to get things ready for him.

The Lord had done the same thing for the people of Esau. They lived in Seir. The Lord destroyed the Horites to make room for Esau’s people. They drove the Horites out. So the people of Esau have lived in Seir in the territory of the Horites to this very day.

So that day Esau started on his way back to Seir.

Esau was angry with Jacob. He was angry because of the blessing his father had given to Jacob. He said to himself,“ The days of sorrow over my father’s death are near. Then I’ll kill my brother Jacob.”Rebekah was told what her older son Esau had said. So she sent for her younger son Jacob. She said to him,“ Your brother Esau is planning to get back at you by killing you.

The Lord who rules over all says,“ I will send my messenger. He will prepare my way for me. Then suddenly the Lord you are looking for will come to his temple. The messenger of the covenant will come. He is the one you long for.”

“ Or suppose a king is about to go to war against another king. And suppose he has 10,000 men, while the other has 20,000 coming against him. Won’t he first sit down and think about whether he can win?And suppose he decides he can’t win. Then he will send some men to ask how peace can be made. He will do this while the other king is still far away.
