Isaac had twin sons, Esau and Jacob. Esau was the firstborn
And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment;
and they called his name Esau.
And after that came his brother out,and his hand took
hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob

that they were the beginning of two nations
“two manner of people, one shall be stronger than other
“and the elder shall serve the younger”(Genesis 25:23).

for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom.”

and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine
increase and possession]: Let people serve thee, and
nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren
and let thy mother’s sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that
curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee” Gen 27:26-29

from the fatness of the earth,the dew of heaven from above;
And by thy sword shalt thou live,shalt serve thy brother;
and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion
that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck. --future event,
And Esau hated Jacob …” (verses 39-41).

The children of Israel, through sin, were driven out
of the Promised Land that belonged with the birthright.

occupied Palestine 400 years before Britain took it in 1917.
