I gave Isaac two sons named Jacob and Esau. I gave the land around the mountains of Edom to Esau, but Jacob and his sons went down to Egypt.
Do not go to war against them. I will not give you any of their land—not even a foot of it, because I have given the mountains of Edom to Esau as his own.
So Esau lived in the mountains of Edom. (Esau is also named Edom.)
So Jacob went down to Egypt, where he and his sons died.
Then his father Israel came to Egypt; Jacob lived in Egypt.
Jacob’s brother Esau was living in the area called Seir in the country of Edom. Jacob sent messengers to Esau,
Children are a gift from the Lord; babies are a reward.
This is the family history of Esau. He is the ancestor of the Edomites, who live in the mountains of Edom.
