To Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau. I gave the hill country of Seir to Esau. But Jacob and his family went down to Egypt.
Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to his brother Esau. Esau lived in the land of Seir. It was also called the country of Edom.
So Esau made his home in the hill country of Seir. Esau was also called Edom.
Here is the story of the family line of Esau. He’s the father of the people of Edom. They live in the hill country of Seir.
Then the rest of Jacob’s family went to Egypt. The people of Israel lived as outsiders in the land of Ham.
Children are a gift from the Lord. They are a reward from him.
Then Jacob went down to Egypt. There he and his family died.
Do not make them angry. If you do, they will go to war against you. I will not give you any of their land. You will not have even enough to put your foot on. I have given Esau’s people the hill country of Seir as their own.
