The Birth of Esau and Jacob
Tuesday, June 23, 2015
Many people turn to the Bible in search of answers. Bigfooters have also looked for answers within the Bible for references to Bigfoot. We will look into the first of these Biblical Bigfoot theories; The Birth of Esau and Jacob. Read the passage below about The Birth of Esau and Jacob as we explore the possibilities of Bigfoot in the Bible.
The Birth of Esau and Jacob
19 These are the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham fathered Isaac, 20 and Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean, to be his wife. 21 And Isaac prayed to the Lord for his wife, because she was barren. And the Lord granted his prayer, and Rebekah his wife conceived. 22 The children struggled together within her, and she said, “If it is thus, why is this happening to me?” So she went to inquire of the Lord. 23 And the Lord said to her,
“Two nations are in your womb,
and two peoples from within you shall be divided;
the one shall be stronger than the other,
the older shall serve the younger.”
24 When her days to give birth were completed, behold, there were twins in her womb. 25 The first came out red, all his body like a hairy cloak, so they called his name Esau. 26 Afterward his brother came out with his hand holding Esau’s heel, so his name was called Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.
27 When the boys grew up, Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man, dwelling in tents. 28 Isaac loved Esau because he ate of his game, but Rebekah loved Jacob.
Was Esau simply a hairy human with great hunting skills or could he have been an ancient Bigfoot? Ron Morehead believes the Old Testament may contain clues to the Sasquatch and further our knowledge about Bigfoot in ancient times.
