The question was, “What nation came out of Esau?”
In effect, Esau helped give rise to the formation of numerous nationalities. He seems however to have played more of an elite developmental role and not significantly that of the begetter of the masses of people.
Esau (Genesis 25:25) was the twin brother of Jacob otherwise acknowledged as Israel (Genesis 32:28, 35:10). Esau was also known as Edom (Genesis 25:29). He was born hairy and reddish in color (Genesis 25:25), in Hebrew an “Admoni” usually understood as meaning red-haired.
Esau is a Warrior Living By the Sword
This term, implying red-haired, was also applied to David, King of Israel (1-Samuel [KJV] 16:12, 17:42, translated as “ruddy” but meaning red-haired). It was prophesied that Esau would be a warrior nation and live by his sword (Genesis 27:40). He would enjoy the “fatness” of the earth implying relative prosperity (Genesis 27:40).
Genesis (American KJV)
27:38 And Esau said to his father, Have you but one blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
39 And Isaac his father answered and said to him, Behold, your dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above;
40 And by your sword shall you live, and shall serve your brother; and it shall come to pass when you shall have the dominion, that you shall break his yoke from off your neck.
41 And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob.
The people of “Teman” were descendants of Edom and known for their wisdom (Jeremiah 49:7, cf. Job 2:1). Esau would also be involved in an eternal struggle against Jacob and seek to kill him (Genesis 27:41). Esau, i.e. Edom gave rise to numerous tribes and ruling elites among other nations.
China and Japan Elements of Edom?
The area of Edom to the southeast of Judah also referred to as “Seir,” encompassed only a portion of the Edomites. The founding elements of Ancient China and of Japan were from Edom even though descendants of Esau may now comprise only a small section of the populations in those areas.
Esau was also important in the history of Russia. The very name “Rus” connotes “RED” which in Hebrew translates to “Edom.”
Esau Contributes to Early History of Europe
Descendants of Esau gave rise to Sparta in Greece and to the earlier settlers of Rome and the Roman Empire. Edomites, as well as Israelite Hebrews, were important in the early history of Europe.
Great military leaders appear to have been descendants of Esau. One of the characteristics of Edom is a hatred of the Juda. All over the world, a disproportionate number of military types tend to be anti-Semitic (note: being anti-Semitic is to be anti-Shem, as in Shem the son of Noah. To be anti-Semitic is to be against Arabs, and many others who are in the family line of Shem).
A prominent descendant of Esau through his son Eliphaz was Amalek. Throughout the centuries prominent persecutors of the “Jewish” people were the offspring of Amalekites (cf. Exodus 17:8-13). One of the characteristics of Edom is the Principle of Leadership.
Fascism Embodies Edomite Principles
In 1-Chronicles 1:52 we have an expression, “the chiefs of Edom.” So too, Genesis (36:15-19) speaks of the “Dukes of Esau.” The word used in Hebrew translated as “Dukes” is “Aluphim” (singular: “Aluph”) connoting “leader, instructor.” The English word “help” may derive from this Hebrew source. Fascism (and Nazism) as a political system in effect embodied Edomite Principles.
The ancient native Germans called the idol, who was otherwise known as “Oden,” by the name “Koz.” Josephus (Antiquities xv.7,9) asserts, and archaeological inscriptions verify, that the national god of the small state of Edom to the south and east of Judah was called “Kiazo” or “Koz” (or Cas) also rendered as “Qa-us.”
This name is derived from a Middle Eastern form of the name “Esau” since the initial “ayin” transliterated as “E” (in Esau) can be pronounced with a hard sound. Esau (under the name of “Koz”) was, consequently, the supreme god of many in both Idumea (Edom) and Germany. The very name Odin may be a form of “Edom.”
Ros Merta Means Red the Magnificent
The cult of Odin was derived from, or at least related to, that of Essuvius in Gaul. The name “Essuvius” is related to how Esau (“Esav”) is pronounced in Hebrew. The consort of Essuvius, once worshiped in West Germany, was known as “Ros Merta,” i.e. “Red [Edom] the Magnificent.”
In the End Times Israel, and especially with Joseph at the head of the Lost Ten Tribes, he will war against and defeat Edom (Ezekiel 25:14, Obadiah 1:18). The fate of Edom however is uncertain. There were also positive elements that emerged from Esau. In the Last Days, and leading up to them, a portion of the Edomites will repent and be saved.
Historically Edomites served as agents of Assyria in subjugating and re-settling the Ten Tribes with whom to some degree they intermixed. We have written books on this matter. The Sages said that no war can be won unless descendants of Esau are present on the winning side.
Esau Was Red-Haired?
A Curiosity: Esau was associated with military prowess. Esau was red-haired. Many of the leading Military Leaders in World History had red-hair. Red-hairs are present to a disproportionate degree among famous military leaders. This does not mean that they were all descended from Esau.
We also find red-hairs among Israelites, such as David (king David’s ruddiness would more so be compared to that of Malcolm X and Red Foxx), and others. Nevertheless, it is an interesting phenomenon.
Some Redheaded Military Leaders and prominent Rulers in History
Esau
Esau the Brother of Jacob (Israel) was described as an “Admoni” (Genesis 25:25) which traditionally means red-haired.
Set (Seth)
The Egyptian god, Seth (also equated with ‘Typhon,’ and ‘Saturn’) was identified by the Egyptians with the desert, with the former Hyksos rulers of Egypt, and with the areas of Edom and Israel. Set was often depicted with red hair, and for this reason, people with red hair (according to Manetho) were regularly sacrificed in Egypt.
David
David, King of Israel and Judah, is the prototype of the future Messiah. He was the author of the Psalms, and (like Esau) was also described as an “Admoni” (1-Samuel 16:12) i.e. a red-head.
(BSM-NOTE- King David, the Bible does not actually say King David had red hair; he was ruddy)
Alexander the Great,
Alexander (356 – 323 BCE) was the Macedonian Ruler of Greece and Conqueror of the Persian Empire and other places. He was considered one of the most successful military commanders of all time.
Etruscans

Etruscan wall frescoes depict mostly people with black hair along with quite a few whose hair appears to be red.
Caledonians of Scotland
“The red hair and large limbs of the inhabitants of Caledonia point clearly to a Germanic origin.” – Tacitus, on the inhabitants of northern Britain.
Boudicca (died 60 / 61 CE) – Boudicca was a queen of the Brythonic Celtic Iceni people of Norfolk in Eastern Britain. She leads an initially successful rebellion against the Romans. The Roman historian, Deo Cassius, described Boudicca as “tall and terrifying in appearance [with] a great mass of red hair.”
Niall of the Nine Hostages
Niall (ca. 300s-400s CE) was the ancestor of the Ui Neill family that dominated Ireland from the 500s CE to the 900s CE and from whom most of the ancient Irish kings were descended. Descendants of Niall today are believed to be identifiable by a peculiar genetic marker. Many of them have red hair.
Mohammad
The Arab religious leader (570-632) saw visions and founded a religion and changed the world. Mahommed is believed to have had red hair. In various hadiths (extraneous traditions) however, it is said he dyed it that way. Devout Muslims who have been to Mecca had the practice of dyeing their beard red. My father, William Hugh Russell-Davis, once saw a hair revered by Muslims in India that was claimed to have belonged to Mohamed. It was red.

The list above speaks of who the scholars believe Edom Esau is today, which alone is a fascinating discovery never to be played on the annals of history or taught in secular schools or theological churches, or seminaries.
However, we assert it is ALL FALSE! Europeans are children of Ham (the Bible list them as children of Japheth). Esau merely facilitates the Europeans, who are the children of Ham.

AMELEKITES ARE NOT JEWS…THEIR JEW-ISH….SO CALLED BLACKS ARE THE REAL JEWS
Thank you, Keith, all praise to the Father!
If, in fact, Amalek is a bloodline descendant (grandson)of Esau, Amalek IS Jew. Amalek’s mother is Timna…Esau’s concubine. It is written in the wills of the Patdiarchs that Amalek seed is cut off from inheriting the kingdom.
Yes Myss, what is your question or statement in clarity? Thanks for commenting.
I don’t understand the point of listing all of those leaders with red hair. We are all descendants from Noah and, obviously, offspring had various colors of hair as different body types.
It only proves mutations in human breeding.
That is fairly correct Vince! The original writer thought to connect Esau with Europeans erroneously by essentially pointing out red hair and connecting that to Esau coming out red and hairy all over.
Esau’s inheritance was Seir, in Southwest Jordan. It says in the Bible that Esau was conquered by Israel. Israel was conquered by Rome, not Esau. We know that Edom lost its independence in the fifth century B.C., and from about 312 B.C. it was controlled by the Nabateans. Rome was never conquered by the Nabateans.
Sorry, you are using the word “Ruddy” to mean hair color, when it actually referred to “a ruddy complexion”, such as Adam, ( Aw-dawm, meaning “of a ruddy complexion, or to show blood under the skin”. Having red hair does not mean the red haired white people are Edom. This is such a long stretch trying to make something out of nothing.
Just like the small remnant of Israelites who moved to Africa, some say making all Africans to be Israel. It is so deceiving and misleading, giving people false hope. God gave the African people their own inheritance, and a vastly wealthy continent, and said they would be masters of the beast of the field. Trying to usurp a heritage doesn’t help people find their place in God’s Kingdom.
Thank you for your reply Mr. David, give me a call or email; let’s dialogue more.
I find it unbelievable how people can read the bible and not see who the children of Esau are today. They are plain to see as it says in the book of Jeremiah (he will not be able to hide himself, his seed is spoiled, and his brethren, and his neighbors, and he is not. It is a very plain revelation and I did a detailed article on it along with several videos.
Greetings elder Chazaq, I respectfully disagree with your findings, but it is a study that can make sense (to the untrained eye of those who hooked up the Bible). I definitely appreciate your comment and work in the vineyard.
