Esau

Esau is a biblical figure from the Book of Genesis, known as the elder son of Isaac and Rebekah, and twin brother to Jacob. He was a hunter and favorite of their father, often associated with outdoor life, while Jacob, a quieter herdsman, was favored by Rebekah. Esau famously sold his birthright—his rights as the firstborn—to Jacob for a bowl of stew, highlighting impulsiveness and the importance placed on familial blessing. His story explores themes of preference, inheritance, and significance of values like patience and foresight.
