And to Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau. And I gave Esau the hill country of Seir to possess, but Jacob and his children went down to Egypt.
Do not contend with them, for I will not give you any of their land, no, not so much as for the sole of the foot to tread on, because I have given Mount Seir to Esau as a possession.
So Esau settled in the hill country of Seir. (Esau is Edom.)
And Jacob went down into Egypt, and he died, he and our fathers,
Then Israel came to Egypt; Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
And Jacob sent[2] messengers before him to Esau his brother in the land of Seir, the country of Edom,
Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward.
These are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in the hill country of Seir.
