And I gave unto Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave unto Esau mount Se´ir, to possess it; but Jacob and his children went down into Egypt.
And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Se´ir, the country of Edom.
Thus dwelt Esau in mount Se´ir: Esau is Edom.
And these are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in mount Se´ir:
Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
Lo, children are a heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers,
meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a footbreadth; because I have given mount Se´ir unto Esau for a possession.
