Strong's G2269 Ἠσαῦ (esau)

And the first came out red, hairy all over like a skin; and she called his name Esau.

And after this came forth his brother, and his hand took hold of the heel of Esau; and she called his name Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old when Rebekah bore them.

And the lads grew, and Esau was a man skilled in hunting, dwelling in the country, and Jacob a simple man, dwelling in a house.

And Isaac loved Esau, because his venison was his food, but Rebekah loved Jacob.

And Jacob cooked pottage, and Esau came from the plain, fainting.

And Esau said to Jacob, Let me taste of that red pottage, because I am fainting; therefore his name was called Edom.

And Jacob said to Esau, Sell me this day thy birthright.

And Esau said, Behold, I am going to die, and for what good does this birthright belong to me?

And Jacob said to him, Swear to me this day; and he swore to him; and Esau sold his birthright to Jacob.

And Jacob gave bread to Esau, and pottage of lentils; and he ate and drank, and he arose and departed; so Esau slighted his birthright.

And Esau was forty years old; and he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath, daughter of Elon the Hittite.

And it came to pass after Isaac was old, that his eyes were dimmed so that he could not see; and he called Esau, his elder son, and said to him, My son; and he said, Behold, I am here.

And Rebekah heard Isaac speaking to Esau his son; and Esau went to the plain to procure venison for his father.

And Rebekah said to Jacob her younger son, Behold, I heard thy father speaking to Esau thy brother, saying,

And Jacob said to his mother Rebekah, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I a smooth man.

And Rebekah having taken the fine raiment of her elder son Esau which was with her in the house, put it on Jacob her younger son.

And Jacob said to his father, I, Esau thy firstborn, have done as thou toldest me; rise, sit, and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.

And Isaac said to Jacob, Draw nigh to me, and I will feel thee, son, if thou art my son Esau or not.

And Jacob drew nigh to his father Isaac, and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.

And he knew him not, for his hands were as the hands of his brother Esau, hairy; and he blessed him,

and he said, Art thou my son Esau? and he said, I am.

And it came to pass after Isaac had ceased blessing his son Jacob, it even came to pass, just when Jacob had gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.

And Isaac his father said to him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy firstborn son Esau.

And it came to pass when Esau heard the words of his father Isaac, he cried out with a great and very bitter cry, and said, Bless, I pray thee, me also, father.

And he said, Rightly was his name called Jacob, for lo! this second time has he supplanted me; he has both taken my birthright, and now he has taken my blessing; and Esau said to his father, Hast thou not left a blessing for me, father?

And Isaac answered and said to Esau, If I have made him thy lord, and have made all his brethren his servants, and have strengthened him with corn and wine, what then shall I do for thee, son?

And Esau said to his father, Hast thou only one blessing, father? Bless, I pray thee, me also, father. And Isaac being troubled, Esau cried aloud and wept.

And Esau was angry with Jacob because of the blessing, with which his father blessed him; and Esau said in his mind, Let the days of my father’s mourning draw nigh, that I may slay my brother Jacob.

And the words of Esau her elder son were reported to Rebekah, and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said to him, Behold, Esau thy brother threatens thee to kill thee.

So Isaac sent away Jacob, and he went into Mesopotamia to Laban the son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah the mother of Jacob and Esau.

And Esau saw that Isaac blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Mesopotamia of Syria as he blessed him, to take to himself a wife thence, and that he charged him, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of the Canaanites;

And Esau also having seen that the daughters of Canaan were evil before his father Isaac,

Esau went to Ishmael, and took Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, the son of Abraham, the sister of Nebaioth, a wife in addition to his other wives.

And Jacob started and went to the land of the east to Laban, the son of Bethuel the Syrian, and the brother of Rebekah, mother of Jacob and Esau.

And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother to the land of Seir, to the country of Edom.

And he charged them, saying, Thus shall ye say to my lord Esau: Thus saith thy servant Jacob; I have sojourned with Laban and tarried until now.

And there were born to me oxen, and asses, and sheep, and menservants and maidservants; and I sent to tell my lord Esau, that thy servant might find grace in thy sight.

And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and lo! he comes to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.

And Jacob said, If Esau should come to one camp, and smite it, the other camp shall be in safety.

Deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau, for I am afraid of him, lest haply he should come and smite me, and the mother upon the children.

And he slept there that night, and took of the gifts which he carried with him, and sent out to Esau his brother,

And he charged the first, saying, If Esau my brother meet thee, and he ask thee, saying, Whose art thou? and whither wouldest thou go, and whose are these possessions advancing before thee?

Thou shalt say, Thy servant Jacob’s; he hath sent gifts to my lord Esau, and lo! he is behind us.

And he charged the first and the second and the third, and all that went before him after these flocks, saying, Thus shall ye speak to Esau when ye find him;

And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and beheld, and lo! Esau his brother coming, and four hundred men with him; and Jacob divided the children to Leah and to Rachel, and the two handmaids.

And Esau ran on to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him; and they both wept.

And Esau said, I have much, my brother; keep thine own.

And Esau said, I will leave with thee some of the people who are with me. And he said, Why so? it is enough that I have found favor before thee, my lord.

And Esau returned on that day on his journey to Seir.

And God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to the place, Bethel, and dwell there; and make there an altar to the God that appeared to thee, when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.

And he built there an altar, and called the name of the place Bethel; for there God appeared to him, when he fled from the face of his brother Esau.

And Isaac gave up the ghost and died, and was laid to his family, old and full of days; and Esau and Jacob his sons buried him.

And these are the generations of Esau; this is Edom.

And Esau took to himself wives of the daughters of the Canaanites; Adah, the daughter of Elon the Hittite; and Oholibamah, daughter of Anah the son of Zibeon, the Hivite;

And Adah bore to him Eliphaz; and Basemath bore Reuel.

And Oholibamah bore Jeush, and Jalam, and Korah; these are the sons of Esau, which were born to him in the land of Canaan.

And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the persons of his house, and all his possessions, and all his cattle, and all that he had gotten, and all things whatsoever he had acquired in the land of Canaan; and Esau went forth from the land of Canaan, from the face of his brother Jacob.

And Esau dwelt in Mount Seir; Esau, he is Edom.

And these are the generations of Esau, the father of Edom in the Mount Seir.

And these are the names of the sons of Esau. Eliphaz, the son of Adah, the wife of Esau; and Reuel, the son of Basemath, wife of Esau.

And Timna was a concubine of Eliphaz, the son of Esau; and she bore Amalek to Eliphaz. These are the sons of Adah, the wife of Esau.

And these are the sons of Reuel; Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. These were the sons of Basemath, wife of Esau.

And these are the sons of Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah, the son of Zibeon, the wife of Esau; and she bore to Esau, Jeush, and Jalam, and Korah.

These are the chiefs of the sons of Esau, even the sons of Eliphaz, the firstborn of Esau; chief Teman, chief Omar, chief Zepho, chief Kenaz,

And these are the sons of Reuel, the son of Esau; chief Nahath, chief Zerah, chief Shammah, chief Mizzah. These are the chiefs of Reuel, in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Basemath, wife of Esau.

And these are the sons of Oholibamah, wife of Esau; chief Jeush, chief Jalam, chief Korah. These are the chiefs of Oholibamah, daughter of Anah, wife of Esau.

These are the sons of Esau, and these are the chiefs; these are the sons of Edom.

These are the names of the chiefs of Esau, in their tribes, according to their place, in their countries, and in their nations; chief Timna, chief Alvah, chief Jetheth,

chief Magdiel, chief Zaphoin. These are the chiefs of Edom in their dwelling places, in the land of their possession; this is Esau, the father of Edom.

And Edom shall be an inheritance, And Esau his enemy shall be an inheritance of Israel, And Israel wrought valiantly.

And charge the people, saying, Ye are going through the borders of your brethren the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they shall fear you, and dread you greatly.

Do not engage in war against them, for I will not give you of their land even enough to set your foot upon, for I have given Mount Seir to the children of Esau as an inheritance.

And we passed by our brethren the children of Esau, who dwelt in Seir, by the way of Arabah from Elath and from Ezion-geber; and we turned and passed by the way of the desert of Moab.

And the Horite dwelt in Seir before, and the sons of Esau destroyed them, and utterly consumed them from before them; and they dwelt in their place, as Israel did to the land of his inheritance, which the Lord gave to them.

As they did to the children of Esau that dwell in Seir, even as they destroyed the Horite from before them, and inherited their country, and dwelt therein instead of them until this day.

as the sons of Esau did to me, who dwelt in Seir, and the Moabites who dwelt in Ar, until I shall have passed Jordan into the land which the Lord our God gives us.

and I gave to him Isaac, and to Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave to Esau Mount Seir for him to inherit: and Jacob and his sons went down to Egypt, and became there a great and populous and mighty nation: and the Egyptians afflicted them.

And Abraham begot Isaac: and the sons of Isaac were Jacob, and Esau.

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

And Job died, an old man and full of days: As living in the land of Uz, on the borders of Edom and Arabia: And his name before was Jobab; And he himself was the son of his father Zerah, one of the sons of Esau, and of his mother Bosorrha, So that he was the fifth from Abraham. First, Bela, the son of Beor, and the name of his city was Dinhabah: But after Bela, Jobab, who is called Job: And after him Husham, who was governor out of the country of Teman: And after him Hadad, the son of Bedad, who destroyed Midian in the plain of Moab; and the name of his city was Getthaim. his friends who came to him were Eliphaz, of the children of Esau, king of the Temanites, Bildad sovereign of the Shuhites, Zophar king of the Naamathites.

For I have stripped Esau, I have uncovered their secret places; they shall have no power to hide themselves, they have perished each by the hand of his brother, my neighbor, and it is impossible

How has Esau been searched out, and how have his hidden things been detected?

In that day, saith the Lord, I will destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau.

And thy warriors from Teman shall be dismayed, to the end that man may be cut off from the mount of Esau.

And the house of Jacob shall be fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau shall be for stubble; and Israel shall flame forth against them, and shall devour them, and there shall not be a cornfield left to the house of Esau; because the Lord has spoken.

And they that dwell in the south shall inherit the mount of Esau, and they in the plain the Philistines: and they shall inherit the mount of Ephraim, and the plain of Samaria, and Benjamin, and the land of Gilead.

And they that escape shall come up from Mount Zion, to take vengeance on the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the Lord’s.

I have loved you, saith the Lord. And ye said, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob’s brother? saith the Lord: yet I loved Jacob,

and hated Esau, and laid waste his borders, and made his heritage as dwellings of the wilderness?

As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.

By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.

Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.

The servants of the temple: the sons of Esau, the sons of Hasupha, the sons of Tabbaoth, the sons of Keros, the sons of Sua, the sons of Padon, the sons of Lebanah, the sons of Hagabah,

Then came unto him all the chief of the children of Esau, and all the governors of the people of Moab, and the captains of the sea coast, and said,

Then the children of Esau went up with the children of Ammon, and camped in the hill country over against Dothan: and they sent some of them toward the south, and toward the east, over against Egrebeh, which is near unto Chusi, that is upon the brook Mochmur; and the rest of the army of the Assyrians camped in the plain, and covered the face of the whole land; and their tents and carriages were pitched to a very great multitude.

Then Judas fought against the children of Esau in Idumea at Akrabattene, because they besieged Israel: and he gave them a great overthrow, and abated their courage, and took their spoils.

Afterward went Judas forth with his brethren, and fought against the children of Esau in the land toward the south, where he smote Hebron, and the towns thereof, and pulled down the fortress of it, and burned the towers thereof round about.
