Esau n 1 : (
Old Testament )
the eldest son of Isaac who would have inherited the covenant that God made with Abraham and that Abraham passed on to Isaac ;
he traded his birthright to his twin brother Jacob for a mess of pottage Esau hairy ,
Rebekah '
s first -
born twin son (
Gen .
25 :
25 ).
The name of Edom , "
red ",
was also given to him from his conduct in connection with the red lentil "
pottage "
for which he sold his birthright (
30 ,
31 ).
The circumstances connected with his birth foreshadowed the enmity which afterwards subsisted between the twin brothers and the nations they founded (
25 :
22 ,
23 ,
26 ).
In process of time Jacob ,
following his natural bent ,
became a shepherd ;
while Esau ,
a "
son of the desert ,"
devoted himself to the perilous and toilsome life of a huntsman .
On a certain occasion ,
on returning from the chase ,
urged by the cravings of hunger ,
Esau sold his birthright to his brother ,
Jacob ,
who thereby obtained the covenant blessing (
Gen .
27 :
28 ,
29 ,
36 ;
Heb .
12 :
16 ,
17 ).
He afterwards tried to regain what he had so recklessly parted with ,
but was defeated in his attempts through the stealth of his brother (
Gen .
27 :
4 ,
34 ,
38 ).
At the age of forty years ,
to the great grief of his parents ,
he married (
Gen .
26 :
34 ,
35 )
two Canaanitish maidens ,
Judith ,
the daughter of Beeri ,
and Bashemath ,
the daughter of Elon .
When Jacob was sent away to Padan -
aram ,
Esau tried to conciliate his parents (
Gen .
28 :
8 ,
9 )
by marrying his cousin Mahalath ,
the daughter of Ishmael .
This led him to cast in his lot with the Ishmaelite tribes ;
and driving the Horites out of Mount Seir ,
he settled in that region .
After some thirty years '
sojourn in Padan -
aram Jacob returned to Canaan ,
and was reconciled to Esau ,
who went forth to meet him (
33 :
4 ).
Twenty years after this ,
Isaac their father died ,
when the two brothers met ,
probably for the last time ,
beside his grave (
35 :
29 ).
Esau now permanently left Canaan ,
and established himself as a powerful and wealthy chief in the land of Edom (
q .
v .).
Long after this ,
when the descendants of Jacob came out of Egypt ,
the Edomites remembered the old quarrel between the brothers ,
and with fierce hatred they warred against Israel .
