Edom: A Name of Esau, Possibly on Account of his Being Covered with Red Hair

The first one came out red, covered with hair like a fur coat; so they named him Esau.

He said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stew, for I am famished.” (That is why he was also called Edom.)

This is the account of Esau (that is, Edom).

So Esau (that is, Edom) settled in the area of Mount Seir.

All these are the sons of Esau (that is, Edom), and they were their chiefs.
