Bible Question:
Please explain this verse about red. Gn 25:25 And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau. |
Bible Answer: Dear LiKiMa, The Hebrew word would be something like our English word ruddy. Think of, for example, a red headed Scotsman, with a ruddy complexion. Apparently this was what Esau looked like. It is not unknown for newborn babies to have hair on their bodies. Apparently Esau had this attribute on into his adult life (cf Genesis 27:11). In Him, Doc |
