I should've given a bit more detail on Esau... Esau was the first born (twin but still first born) son of of Isaac and Jacob was the 2nd. Being the 1st born, Esau was "entitled" to be given the blessing of the covenant of God, that had 1st been given to Abraham. Then it was past to Isaac and so forth. Esau had gone on to marry two Cannanite women, but Abraham desired everyone to marry within God's redeemed community. (This was to seperate the pagans surrounding them.) Well Esau's behaviors had brought grief to his family and he gave up his birthright to Jacob. (Gen 31:34) Later on this obviously causes conflict between the brothers. |

Hello, thequickenenedone, Esau may have been the first born to Sara, but Abraham had a son prior to that, with Hagar. So, this question is much more complex that seen at face value. keliy Gen 16:1 Now Sarai, Abram's wife had borne him no children, and she had an Egyptian maid whose name was Hagar. Gen 16:2 So Sarai said to Abram, "Now behold, the LORD has prevented me from bearing children. Please go in to my maid; perhaps I will obtain children through her." And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai. Gen 16:3 After Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, Abram's wife Sarai took Hagar the Egyptian, her maid, and gave her to her husband Abram as his wife. |

Shalom Keliy You have either the mother or the son mixed up. Rebecca gave birth to Esau (and Jacob). Hagar gave birth to Ishmael, Abram's son. Sarah gave birth to Isaac, AbraHAM's "only" son. By the way, I like your Hebrew name lots. Cheri |
