Genesis 25:25 - Esau's distinctive appearance at birth, described as "red and hairy," mirrors his later life as a skilled hunter and man of the wilderness. This contrast with Jacob, who is portrayed as sheepish and reflective, foreshadows their divergent paths. Interestingly, red is often associated with both passion and danger, themes that profoundly influence their story.
