[Easton 한국어 번역] 털이 많은 자. 리브가의 쌍둥이 아들 중 먼저 태어난 아들(창 25:25). 그가 장자의 명분을 팔고 얻은 붉은 렌즈콩 “죽”과 관련된 행동 때문에 “붉다”라는 뜻의 에돔이라는 이름도 그에게 주어졌다(30, 31절). 그의 출생을 둘러싼 상황은 훗날 이 쌍둥이 형제 사이와 그들이 세운 민족들 사이에 존재하게 될 적의를 예고하였다(25:22, 23, 26). 세월이 흐르면서 야곱은 타고난 성향을 따라 목자가 되었고, “광야의 아들”인 에서는 위험하고 고된 사냥꾼의 삶에 전념하였다. 어느 날 사냥에서 돌아온 에서는 허기를 이기지 못하여 동생 야곱에게 장자의 명분을 팔았고, 야곱은 이로써 언약의 복을 얻었다(창 27:28, 29, 36; 히 12:16, 17). 에서는 나중에 자신이 그처럼 경솔하게 내준 것을 되찾으려 하였으나, 동생의 은밀한 계략으로 말미암아 그 시도는 좌절되었다(창 27:4, 34, 38). 그는 사십 세에 가나안 처녀 둘, 곧 브에리의 딸 유딧과 엘론의 딸 바스맛과 결혼하여 부모에게 큰 근심을 끼쳤다(창 26:34, 35). 야곱이 바단아람으로 보내졌을 때, 에서는 사촌인 이스마엘의 딸 마할랏과 결혼함으로써 부모의 마음을 얻으려 하였다(창 28:8, 9). 이 일로 그는 이스마엘 족속들과 운명을 함께하게 되었으며, 세일산에서 호리 족속을 몰아내고 그 지역에 정착하였다. 야곱은 바단아람에서 약 삼십 년 동안 머문 뒤 가나안으로 돌아왔고, 자신을 맞으러 나온 에서와 화해하였다(33:4). 그로부터 이십 년 뒤 그들의 아버지 이삭이 죽었을 때, 두 형제는 그의 무덤 곁에서 만났는데, 아마도 이것이 마지막 만남이었을 것이다(35:29). 이제 에서는 가나안을 영구히 떠나 에돔 땅에서 강력하고 부유한 족장으로 자리 잡았다(에돔 항목을 보라). 이로부터 오랜 세월이 지난 뒤 야곱의 후손들이 애굽에서 나왔을 때, 에돔 사람들은 두 형제 사이의 옛 다툼을 기억하고 맹렬한 증오심으로 이스라엘과 싸웠다.

[Easton] Hairy, Rebekah’s first-born twin son (Gen. 25:25). The name of Edom, “red”, was also given to him from his conduct in connection with the red lentil “pottage” for which he sold his birthright (30, 31). The circumstances connected with his birth foreshadowed the enmity which afterwards subsisted between the twin brothers and the nations they founded (25:22, 23, 26). In process of time Jacob, following his natural bent, became a shepherd; while Esau, a “son of the desert,” devoted himself to the perilous and toilsome life of a huntsman. On a certain occasion, on returning from the chase, urged by the cravings of hunger, Esau sold his birthright to his brother, Jacob, who thereby obtained the covenant blessing (Gen. 27:28, 29, 36; Heb. 12:16, 17). He afterwards tried to regain what he had so recklessly parted with, but was defeated in his attempts through the stealth of his brother (Gen. 27:4, 34, 38). At the age of forty years, to the great grief of his parents, he married (Gen. 26:34, 35) two Canaanitish maidens, Judith, the daughter of Beeri, and Bashemath, the daughter of Elon. When Jacob was sent away to Padan-aram, Esau tried to conciliate his parents (Gen. 28:8, 9) by marrying his cousin Mahalath, the daughter of Ishmael. This led him to cast in his lot with the Ishmaelite tribes; and driving the Horites out of Mount Seir, he settled in that region. After some thirty years’ sojourn in Padan-aram Jacob returned to Canaan, and was reconciled to Esau, who went forth to meet him (33:4). Twenty years after this, Isaac their father died, when the two brothers met, probably for the last time, beside his grave (35:29). Esau now permanently left Canaan, and established himself as a powerful and wealthy chief in the land of Edom (q.v.). Long after this, when the descendants of Jacob came out of Egypt, the Edomites remembered the old quarrel between the brothers, and with fierce hatred they warred against Israel. [Smith] (hairy), the eldest son of Isaac, and twin-brother of Jacob. The singular appearance of the child at his birth originated the name. (Genesis 25:25) Esau’s robust frame and “rough” aspect were the types of a wild and daring nature. He was a thorough Bedouin, a “son of the desert.” He was much loved by his father, and was of course his heir, but was induced to sell his birthright to Jacob. Mention of his unhappy marriages may be found in (Genesis 26:34) The next episode in the life of Esau is the loss of his father’s covenant blessing, which Jacob secured through the craft of his mother, and the anger of Esau, who vows vengeance. (Genesis 27:1) ... Later he marries a daughter of Ishmael, (Genesis 28:8,9) and soon after establishes himself in Mount Seir, where he was living when Jacob returned from Padan-aram rich and powerful, and the two brothers were reconciled. (Genesis 33:4) Twenty years thereafter they united in burying Isaac’s body in the cave of Machpelah. Of Esau’s subsequent history nothing is known; for that of his descendants see Edom, Idumaea Or Idumea.
