When the time came for Rebekah to give birth, there were twins in her womb.The first came out reddish all over, like a hairy garment, so they named him Esau.When his brother came out with his hand clutching Esau’s heel, they named him Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when they were born.When the boys grew up, Esau became a skilled hunter, a man of the open fields, but Jacob was an even-tempered man, living in tents.Isaac loved Esau because he had a taste for fresh game, but Rebekah loved Jacob.Now Jacob cooked some stew, and when Esau came in from the open fields, he was famished.So Esau said to Jacob,“ Feed me some of the red stuff– yes, this red stuff– because I’m starving!”( That is why he was also called Edom.)But Jacob replied,“ First sell me your birthright.”“ Look,” said Esau,“ I’m about to die! What use is the birthright to me?”But Jacob said,“ Swear an oath to me now.” So Esau swore an oath to him and sold his birthright to Jacob.Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and lentil stew; Esau ate and drank, then got up and went out. So Esau despised his birthright.

But Isaac replied,“ Your brother came in here deceitfully and took away your blessing.”Esau exclaimed,“‘ Jacob’ is the right name for him! He has tripped me up two times! He took away my birthright, and now, look, he has taken away my blessing!” Then he asked,“ Have you not kept back a blessing for me?”Isaac replied to Esau,“ Look! I have made him lord over you. I have made all his relatives his servants and provided him with grain and new wine. What is left that I can do for you, my son?”Esau said to his father,“ Do you have only that one blessing, my father? Bless me too!” Then Esau wept loudly.So his father Isaac said to him,“ Indeed, your home will be away from the richness of the earth, and away from the dew of the sky above.You will live by your sword but you will serve your brother. When you grow restless, you will tear off his yoke from your neck.”So Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing his father had given to his brother. Esau said privately,“ The time of mourning for my father is near; then I will kill my brother Jacob!”

The sons of Esau: Eliphaz, Reuel, Jeush, Jalam, and Korah.

Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom:“ Thus says your brother Israel:‘ You know all the hardships we have experienced,how our ancestors went down into Egypt, and we lived in Egypt a long time, and the Egyptians treated us and our ancestors badly.So when we cried to the LORD, he heard our voice and sent a messenger, and has brought us up out of Egypt. Now we are here in Kadesh, a town on the edge of your country.Please let us pass through your country. We will not pass through the fields or through the vineyards, nor will we drink water from any well. We will go by the King’s Highway; we will not turn to the right or the left until we have passed through your region.’”But Edom said to him,“ You will not pass through me, or I will come out against you with the sword.”Then the Israelites said to him,“ We will go along the highway, and if we or our cattle drink any of your water, we will pay for it. We will only pass through on our feet, without doing anything else.”But he said,“ You may not pass through.” Then Edom came out against them with a large and powerful force.So Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border; therefore Israel turned away from him.

Who is this who comes from Edom, dressed in bright red, coming from Bozrah? Who is this one wearing royal attire, who marches confidently because of his great strength?“ It is I, the one who announces vindication, and who is able to deliver!”

You must not hate an Edomite, for he is your relative; you must not hate an Egyptian, for you lived as a foreigner in his land.

Jacob sent messengers on ahead to his brother Esau in the land of Seir, the region of Edom.He commanded them,“ This is what you must say to my lord Esau:‘ This is what your servant Jacob says: I have been staying with Laban until now.I have oxen, donkeys, sheep, and male and female servants. I have sent this message to inform my lord, so that I may find favor in your sight.’”The messengers returned to Jacob and said,“ We went to your brother Esau. He is coming to meet you and has four hundred men with him.”Jacob was very afraid and upset. So he divided the people who were with him into two camps, as well as the flocks, herds, and camels.

“ This is what the sovereign LORD says:‘ Edom has taken vengeance against the house of Judah; they have made themselves fully culpable by taking vengeance on them.
