What happensPermalink
Esau and Jacob split up because they’ve grown too wealthy to live together. Genealogy of Esau.
Why it mattersPermalink
Esau’s descendants are the Edomites. One of his grandchildren is Teman, and one of Job’s friends is Eliphaz the Temanite, so Job probably lived in Edom. Edom means “red,” and the land of Edom is full of red sandstone.
Key versePermalink
These are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in the hill country of Seir.
