Esau is the son of Isaac and Rebekah. He is the twin brother of Jacob. Because Esau was red and hairy at birth, they named him Esau. He was a skilled and cunning hunter. Although Esau and Jacob are twins, Esau is the firstborn, simply because he was born first. Esau despised his birthright and sold it to Jacob, thereby causing Jacob to receive the firstborn's blessing. Esau vowed that he would kill Jacob after his father died. There is some confusion about the number of wives Esau had. Many say Esau had six wives: Judith, Mahalath, Adah, Aholibamah, Bashemath, daughter of Elon, and Bashemath, daughter of Ishmael. Others say Esau only had four wives because Adah is the same individual as Bashemath from Elon, and Mahalath is the same individual as Bashemath, daughter of Ishmael. Scripture labels Esau as the father of the Edomites; therefore, it sometimes references him as Edom.
