He is known as Jacob's brother, the “first-born? ”, the preferred of Isaac, a? “skilled hunter? ”, and ancestor of the Edomites; he is even called “my lord? ” eight times by Jacob (Genesis). But he is also hated by Yahweh (Malachi), and is accused of-among other things-with anger, wrath and violence against his brother(Amos). In the end, he was threatened with massacre and annihilation (Jeremiah, Obadiah). Esau is a character with multiple representations in the Hebrew Bible, which areas complex as they are difficult to decipher. Why such dissimilarities in the biblical images about Esau? What perspective must we adopt in the face of this pattern? With these questions in mind, we will examine the sociopolitical and ideological framework that gave birth to the biblical tradition of the brotherhood of Jacob, the Israelite patriarch, and his brother Esau. This analysis incorporates traditional approaches of biblical scholarship and current anthropological perspectives. It will also trace, albeit briefly, some topics that are relevant to this issue, e. G., the tradition of the brotherhood as it appears in biblical scholarship, the question of southern Jordanian material culture in the Negev, and the issue of kinship, segmentation and orality in ancient societies.
