These are the generations of Esau (that is, Edom). Esau took his wives from the Canaanites: Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, Oholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite, and Basemath, Ishmael's daughter, the sister of Nebaioth. And Adah bore to Esau, Eliphaz; Basemath bore Reuel; and Oholibamah bore Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. These are the sons of Esau who were born to him in the land of Canaan.
Genesis 36:1-5 (ESV)We do not see much Scripture dedicated to the life of Esau. Instead, we are told of the land he settled, and the names of some of his wives and children. We are told somewhat about the conditions of the land for raising livestock.
Esau seemed to live an ordinary life ordinarily, in contrast to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Esau is known for selling his future for a bowl of porridge, not for walking intimately with God and seeing Him work.
What will you be known for?
What will I be known for?
Does it matter?
