A Peek at God's Blessing on Esau

Genesis 36:1-43
Hebrews 11:20

Why did God place Esau’s genealogy in the Bible?
1. So we remember the God knows and remembers every person whether they are chosen, saved, or not.
2. So we can look at their names and see where they settled.

Hebrews 11:20 - Isaac blessed both Jacob and Esau
Hebrews 12:15-16 - Esau sold his birthright

Esau’s blessing is similar to Ishmaels. Protection, land, and ultimately salvation.

Genesis 36:1-5 - Esau’s wives

Genesis 36:6-10 - Esau’s family moves to Mt. Seir

Genesis 33:9 - God has blessed Esau despite him selling his birthright.

How was the Abrahamic Covenant beneficial to Esau? Genesis 12:3: In thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed. God’s grace extends to everyone.
