|
## Facts: ##
|
|
|
|
Esau was one of the twin sons of Isaac and Rebekah. He was the first baby born. His twin brother was Jacob.
|
|
|
|
* Esau sold his birthright to his brother Jacob in exchange for a bowl of food.
|
|
* Since Esau was born first, his father Isaac was supposed to give him a special blessing. But Jacob tricked Isaac into giving him that blessing instead. At first Esau was so angry that he wanted to kill Jacob, but later he forgave him.
|
|
* Esau had many children and grandchildren, and these descendants formed a large people group living in the land of Canaan.
