in the Old Testament of the Bible, the son of Isaac, and the older brother of Jacob, whose twin (=one of two children born at the same time) he was.

Firstborn son of Isaac and Rebekah, twin brother of Jacob (Gen 25: 25-34), Esau gave up his birthright to his cleverer sibling (Gen 27-28), thus becoming the prototype of the person who is insensitive to his heritage (Heb 12: 16) He was thought of as the progenitor of the Edomites, traditional enemies of Jacob's descendants (Israel) (Gen 36)
