This study offers a canonical reading of the Esau and Edom
traditions, examining the portrayal of Esau and Edom in Genesis,
Deuteronomy, and the prophetic material. First, it is argued that
the depiction of Esau and his descendants in Genesis and
Deuteronomy is, on the whole, positive. Second, it is put forward
that Edom is portrayed negatively by the prophets for violating
their kin, and for disrespecting the divine apportioning of the
lands. Finally, it is suggested that these traditions have
resonance with one another based on recurring literary and
theological motifs, heuristically framed as brotherhood and
inheritance. Over the last 30 years this pioneering series has
established an unrivaled reputation for cutting-edge international
scholarship in Biblical Studies and has attracted leading authors
and editors in the field. The series takes many original and
creative approaches to its subjects, including innovative work from
historical and theological perspectives, social-scientific and
literary theory, and more recent developments in cultural studies
and reception history.
