Who is Esau?
E'SAU
, or E'DOM, son of Isaac and Rebecca, and twin brother of Jacob. Gen 25:25; Gen 36:1. The most important events of his life are so intimately connected with the life of Jacob that they will be considered under Jacob. His family settled on Mount Seir, east of Jordan, which was hence called Edom, and his descendants were the Edomites, one of the most powerful and formidable nations of that age. See Edom.
