Bible Question (short): Whose "repentance" in Heb 12:17.

Question (full): Hebrews 12:17 (KJV).

I have heard that the "repentance" refers to Esau whose repentance was incomplete or not genuine.

Another thought is that "repentance" refers to God - God would not change His mind no matter how repentant was Esau; loss of the blessing was irretrievable.

1. To whom does the "repentance" refer, to God or Esau?

2. Can the Greek help in clearly deciding to whom "repentance" has reference?

3. How specifically would the context help to clearly decide the matter?

4. Or, is there ambiguity in the Greek and the context deciding to whom "repentance" refers?

Thanks.
