Genesis 32:3-4

3And Jacob sent ▼

▼Or had sent

messengers before him to Esau his brother in the land of ^bSeir, the country of Edom, 4instructing them, “Thus you shall say to my lord Esau: Thus says your servant Jacob, ‘I have sojourned with Laban and stayed until now.

Deuteronomy 2:4-25

4and command the people, “You are about to pass through the territory of ^cyour brothers, the people of Esau, ^dwho live in Seir; and ^ethey will be afraid of you. So be very careful. 5Do not contend with them, for I will not give you any of their land, no, not so much as for the sole of the foot to tread on, because ^fI have given Mount Seir to Esau as a possession. 6 ^gYou shall purchase food from them with money, that you may eat, and you shall also buy water from them with money, that you may drink. 7For the Lord your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. ^hHe knows your going through this great wilderness. ⁱThese forty years the Lord your God has been with you. You have lacked nothing.”’ 8So ^jwe went on, away from our brothers, the people of Esau, who live in Seir, away from ^kthe Arabah road from ^lElath and ^mEzion-geber.

“And we turned and went in the direction of the wilderness of Moab. 9And the Lord said to me, ⁿ‘Do not harass Moab or contend with them in battle, for I will not give you any of their land for a possession, because I have given ^oAr to ^pthe people of Lot for a possession.’ 10( ^qThe Emim formerly lived there, ^ra people great and many, and tall ^sas the Anakim. 11Like the Anakim they are also counted as ^tRephaim, but the Moabites call them Emim. 12 ^uThe Horites also lived in Seir formerly, but the people of Esau dispossessed them and destroyed them from before them and settled in their place, ^vas Israel did to the land of their possession, which the Lord gave to them.) 13‘Now rise up and go over ^wthe brook Zered.’ So we went over ^xthe brook Zered. 14And the time from our leaving ^yKadesh-barnea until we crossed ^zthe brook Zered was thirty-eight years, ^aauntil the entire generation, that is, the men of war, had perished from the camp, as the Lord had sworn to them. 15For indeed the hand of the Lord was against them, to destroy them from the camp, until they had perished.

16“So as soon as all the men of war had perished and were dead from among the people, 17the Lord said to me, 18‘Today you are to cross the border of Moab at Ar. 19And when you approach the territory of the people of Ammon, ^abdo not harass them or contend with them, for I will not give you any of the land of the people of Ammon as a possession, because I have given it to ^acthe sons of Lot for a possession.’ 20(It is also counted as a land of ^adRephaim. Rephaim formerly lived there—but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim— 21 ^aea people great and many, and tall as the Anakim; but the Lord destroyed them before the Ammonites, ▼

▼Hebrew them

and they dispossessed them and settled in their place, 22as he did for the people of Esau, who live in Seir, when he destroyed ^agthe Horites before them and they dispossessed them and settled in their place even to this day. 23As for ^ahthe Avvim, who lived in villages as far as ^aiGaza, ^ajthe Caphtorim, who came from Caphtor, destroyed them and settled in their place.) 24‘Rise up, set out on your journey and ^akgo over the Valley of the Arnon. Behold, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of ^alHeshbon, and his land. Begin to take possession, and ^amcontend with him in battle. 25This day I will begin to put ^anthe dread and fear of you on the peoples who are under the whole heaven, who shall hear the report of you and shall tremble and be in anguish because of you.’

Deuteronomy 23:7

7“You shall not abhor an Edomite, for ^aohe is your brother. You shall not abhor an Egyptian, because ^apyou were a sojourner in his land.

Obadiah 10-12

Edom’s Violence Against Jacob

10 ^aqBecause of the violence done to your brother Jacob,
shame shall cover you,
^arand you shall be cut off forever.
11 ^asOn the day that you stood aloof,
^aton the day that strangers carried off his wealth
and foreigners entered his gates
^auand cast lots for Jerusalem,
you were like one of them.
12 ^avBut do not gloat over the day of your brother
in the day of his misfortune;
^awdo not rejoice over the people of Judah
in the day of their ruin;
^axdo not boast ▼

▼Hebrew  do not enlarge your mouth

in the day of distress.

Malachi 1:2

The Lord’s Love for Israel

2 ^az“I have loved you,” says the Lord. ^baBut you say, “How have you loved us?” “Is not Esau ^bbJacob’s brother?” declares the Lord. “Yet ^bcI have loved Jacob
