Answer 1

I don't do translation. I leave it to those that are priveldged to face-to-face audiences with God.

Answer 2

Next time try reading the entire scripture insteat of taking things out of context. It's very simple to understand.

Genesis 25:23-26 (New International Version)

23 The LORD said to her,
"Two nations are in your womb,
and two peoples from within you will be separated;
one people will be stronger than the other,
and the older will serve the younger."

24 When the time came for her to give birth, there were twin boys in her womb. 25 The first to come out was red, and his whole body was like a hairy garment; so they named him Esau. [a] 26 After this, his brother came out, with his hand grasping Esau's heel; so he was named Jacob. [b] Isaac was sixty years old when Rebekah gave birth to them.

Footnotes:

Genesis 25:25 Esau may mean hairy ; he was also called Edom, which means red.
Genesis 25:26 Jacob means he grasps the heel (figuratively, he deceives ).

Esau (The Elder) sold his birthright to Jacob (The Youinger)..Therefore the the elder now served the younger.

Answer 3

23 And Jehovah saith to her, `Two nations `are' in thy womb, and two peoples from thy bowels are parted; and the `one' people than the `other' people is stronger; and the elder doth serve the younger.'

24 And her days to bear are fulfilled, and lo, twins `are' in her womb;

25 and the first cometh out all red as a hairy robe, and they call his name Esau;

I translated it to the LITERAL version

Answer 4

Rebekah gave birth to twin sons through Issac.
They were to both be prosperous and famous.
Esau sold his birthright for a bowl of lentil soup.
And Rebekah and Jacob tricked Issac and Issac blessed the 2nd born son.
Mainly because they were concerned with pure worship and Esau didn't hold precious God's sacred things. He married a non worshiper.

Answer 5

These verses are talking about Jacob being the nation of Israel and Esau being the nation of Edom.
The nation Israel was stronger than the nation of Edom. Israel was Gods chosen people therefore Esau served Jacob.

Answer 6

Gen 25:19-34 -
- LIII. Birth of Esau and Jacob
20. פדן padān, Paddan, “plowed field;” related: “cut, plow.”
25. עשׂי ‛êśâv, ‘Esaw, “hairy, or made.”
26. יעקב ya‛ăqôb, Ja’aqob, “he shall take the heel.”
27. תם tām, “perfect, peaceful, plain.” The epithet refers to disposition, and contrasts the comparatively civilized character of Jacob with the rude temper of Esau.
30. אדים 'ědôm, Edom, “red.”

The birth of Esau and Jacob. “The son of forty years.” Hence, we learn that Isaac was married the third year after his mother’s death, when Abraham was in his hundred and fortieth year. “Bethuel the Aramaean.” As Bethuel was a descendant of Arpakshad, not of Aram, he is here designated, not by his descent, but by his adopted country Aram. By descent he was a Kasdi or Kaldee. Sarah was barren for at least thirty years; Rebekah for nineteen years. This drew forth the prayer of Isaac in regard to his wife. The heir of promise was to be a child of prayer, and accordingly when the prayer ascended the fruit of the womb was given. Rebekah had unwonted sensations connected with her pregnancy. She said to herself, “If it be so,” if I have conceived seed, “why am I thus,” why this strange struggle within me? In the artlessness of her faith she goes to the Lord for an explanation. We are not informed in what way she consulted God, or how he replied. The expression, “she went to inquire of the Lord,” implies that there was some place of worship and communion with God by prayer. We are not to suppose that she went to Abraham, or any other prophet, if such were then at hand, when we have no intimation of this in the text. Her communication with the Lord seems to have been direct. This passage conveys to us the intimation that there was now a fixed mode and perhaps place of inquiring at the Lord. The Lord answers the mother of the promised seed. Two children are in her womb, the parents of two nations, differing in their dispositions and destinies. The one is to be stronger than the other. The order of nature is to be reversed in them; for the older will serve the younger. Their struggles in the womb are a prelude to their future history.

Gen_25:24-26
The twins are born in due time. The difference is manifest in the outward appearance. The first is red and hairy. These qualities indicate a passionate and precocious nature. He is called “Esau the hairy,” or “the made up,” the prematurely developed. His brother is like other children. An act takes place in the very birth foreshadowing their future history. The second has a hold of his brother’s heel, as if he would trip him up from his very birth. Hence, he is called “Jacob the wrestler,” who takes hold by the heel.

Answer 7

This is of Abraham and Rebekkah.

Abraham had 12 sons...total, with Sarah(his wife) and 2 servants.

One of Rebekkah's sons continued the path of Judaism(sp) and the other is sad to have been the blood line that started Islam.

Answer 8

Russia and America
Esau means Red.
