I'm trying to see how the Jacob and Esau story figures in with a similar story line with Ishmael & Isaac.
Esau, elder son of Isaac, marries the daughter of Ishmael, Machlat his cousin.
Reading that the nation that came out of Esau was the Edomites. We have Muslims or Arabs from Ishmael, Jews from Jacob, and Israelite Hebrews from Esau? Did the rest of the world descend from Esau and the Edomites?
I reread Romans 9 again to see if it would help me but it didn't.
