A Discouerie of the cunning Esauites of our times.
Genes. 25. 27. Esau was a cunning Hunter, and a man of the field:
I Must speak first of the first borne Esau. It is probable, he was called Esau in regard of his manner of birth. ver. 25. He that came out first, was read all over like an hairy Garment: and they called his name Esau.
I Must speake first of the first borne Esau. It is probable, hee was called Esau in regard of his manner of birth. ver. 25. Hee that came out first, was redde all ouer like an hayrie Garment: and they called his name Esau.
Some derive it from the Hebrew word, Quasah, which signifieth, To make: and taken passively, it implies a Perfect man. For he came forth read, and hairy: Read, to betoken his bloody disposition: Hairy, to show his savage and wild Nature. Other Children are borne with Hair only on the Head, Eye-lids, and Brows: but he was hairy all over; promising extraordinary cruelty.
