It was because he despised his spiritual inheritance when he gave his birthright to Jacob. He should have been the father of Israel. On the other hand, Jacob used trickery, lies, manipulation just to get the same heritage. He esteemed God higher than his twin did.

Share the reference, because Romans was written over a thousand years after.

But, if you insist, don't you think God would know Him way before he was conceived?

OP, check this commentary for clarification.


As it is written - Malachi 1:2-3. That is, the distribution of favors is on the principle advanced by the prophet, and is in accordance with the declaration that God had in fact loved the one and hated the other.
Jacob - This refers, doubtless, to the posterity of Jacob.

Have I loved - I have shown affection for that people; I have bestowed on them great privileges and blessings, as proofs of attachment. I have preferred Jacob to Esau.

Esau - The descendants of Esau, the Edomites; see Malachi 1:4.

Have I hated - This does not mean any positive hatred; but that he had preferred Jacob, and had withheld from Esau those privileges and blessings which he had conferred on the posterity of Jacob. This is explained in Malachi 1:3," And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness;" compare Jeremiah 49:17-18; Ezekiel 35:6. It was common among the Hebrews to use the terms "love" and "hatred" in this comparative sense, where the former implied strong positive attachment, and the latter, not positive hatred, but merely a less love, or the withholding of the expressions of affection; compare Genesis 29:30-31; Proverbs 13:24, "He that spareth his rod hateth his son; but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes;" Matthew 6:24, "No man can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other," etc.; Luke 14:26, "if any man come to me, and hate not his father and mother, etc...

The Esau Jacob story is one of the most painful one from Gods perspective, as it remedies a situation which happened BTW Cain and Abel.
It was a symbolic battle btw the physical firstborn with the original sin and the second born with less sin.
It was purely symbolic acting as a sacrifice to purify the lineage of the first son and prepare the messaic line through which Jesus Christ came from.

Op, don't expect genuine response from christians. They have nothing worthwhile to say. They will avoid the thread at worse. They are like mtn customer agents. They always fail to render solution, instead go about ranting irrelevant stuff you never asked of.

When studying the Bible, it is critically important to always study the context of a particular Bible verse or passage. In this instance, the apostle Paul was using the name “Esau” to refer to the Edomites, who were the descendants of Esau. Isaac and Rebekah had two sons, Esau and Jacob. God chose Jacob (whom He later renamed “Israel”) to be the father of His chosen people, the Israelites. God rejected Esau (who was also called “Edom”) and did not choose him to be the father of His chosen people. Esau and his descendants, the Edomites, were in many ways blessed by God ( Genesis 33:9 ; Genesis chapter 36).
So, considering the context, God loving Jacob and hating Esau has nothing to do with the human emotions of love and hate. It has everything to do with God choosing one man and his descendants and rejecting another man and his descendants. God chose Abraham out of all the men in the world. The Bible very well could say, “Abraham I loved, and every other man I hated.” God chose Abraham’s son Isaac instead of Abraham’s son Ishmael. The Bible very well could say, “Isaac I loved, and Ishmael I hated.” Romans chapter 9 makes it abundantly clear that loving Jacob and hating Esau was entirely related to which of them God chose. Hundreds of years after Jacob and Esau had died, the Israelites and Edomites became bittery enemies. The Edomites often aided Israel’s enemies in attacks on Israel. Esau’s descendants brought God’s curse upon themselves. Genesis 27:29 tells Israel, “May nations serve you and peoples bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers, and may the sons of your mother bow down to you. May those who curse you be cursed and those who bless you be blessed.”

Brother
There is no need argueing with you
Yahweh is not a thief and He never taught anyone how to steal
Even Laban himself deceived Jacob (Genesis 31:7)
I wont argue with you because the devil has successfully decieved you to believe that Yahweh is satan

The story of Esau and Jacob remains one of the biggest traumas of my growing up years
I literally hurt, physically and emotionally, trying to wrap my head around the story embarassed cry embarassed
Not a good story at all, for me...I also do not like the story of Mary and Martha....I was rooting for Martha, and Mary buttered up the master and took all the praise! shocked angry shocked...I still dont get it
I digress now, but I think I need to read the Bible again, as a full and total adult...I wanna see if I would get those now, to know whether the terror (eg from Revelations), the joy, the pain, the injustice, the hope, the love and every feeling I got from reading it still hold true

I actually have to read the Bible again...asap
#resolve#to-do
I really wish it would leave me feeling good...my young mind felt many stories there were unjust...wanna see how I would feel about them now
