Ishmael - Esau - Amalek - and the fight goes on today
read Gen.14
Gen.14[7] And they returned, and came to En-mishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites that dwelt in Hazezon-tamar. Gal.4[28] Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.[29] But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.[30] Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.[31] So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free. Gen.25 [5] And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.[6] But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country.[7] And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years.[8] Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people.read Rom.9
Rom.9[13] As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. Heb.11[20] By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. Gen.26[34] And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite:BDB Definition:
Hittite = “descendant of Heth” - the nation descended from Heth, the 2nd son of Canaan; once inhabitants of central Anatolia (modern Turkey), later in north Lebanon Gen.27[46] And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me?[16] Duke Korah, duke Gatam, and duke Amalek: these are the dukes that came of Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these were the sons of Adah.
