The Brit Milah teaches that a child is to be loved and protected with sufficient provision in parental authority to ensure the propagation of the community and its values.
The Brit Milah teaches that a child is to be loved and protected with sufficient provision in parental authority to ensure the propagation of the community and its values. Parental authority may be for life but if it is understood that it is, then it is for love, protection and sufficient provision to ensure the propagation of the community and its values in the circle of life. This will be for all of the children in the family since every child is covered in this blessing in this culture. The Brit Milah does not condone jealousy or competition with children. The Patriarchs did provide for all of their children and the story concerning Jacob was to demonstrate sin; not success. Esau was not only compensated by Jacob but he also became a great nation.

And of course, Jacob would stay in the "land of Canaan" and Esau would move back and finish settling in the "land of Seir," which was a mountainous region that was located to the southeast of Canaan and past the Dead Sea. Now remember that Esau had already started settling from within the land of Seir before Jacob had made it back home from his dealings with Laban in Haran. But Esau would return home to help Jacob, when it came to burying their father, in which they gave their father the proper ceremony that he rightly deserved.

Nonetheless, after some time had passed, they would finally recognized that the land the two had shared, would not be big enough for the both of them to remain in together: "Esau took his wives and sons and daughters and all the members of his household, as well as his livestock and all his other animals and all the goods he had acquired in Canaan, and moved to a land some distance from his brother Jacob. Their possessions were too great for them to remain together; the land where they were staying could not support them both because of their livestock." -- Genesis 36:6,7 Bible Study Online The Descendants of Esau Esau would take with him his three Canaanite wives: Adah who was the daughter of Elon the Hittite and bore him a son called, Eliphaz which signifies - (God his strength) Bashemath who was the daughter of his uncle Ishmael and she bore him a son called, Reuel which signifies (friend of God) Aholibamah who was the daughter of Anah and she bore him three sons who were called: Jeush, Jalam and Korah.

As a matter of fact, all of Esau's sons seem to have these titles associated with their names. Know that I'm adding Aholibamah's three sons here, just for page organization purposes, and not as an indication that they were the only sons in Esau's genealogy that had these titles associated with them.
