SHABBAT READING
Esau the Ancestor of Rome: Dr. Malka Z. Simkovich, The Torah.com, Nov. 7, 2018 — The Torah describes how Isaac and Rebekah’s twin sons, Jacob and Esau, battle each other in their mother’s womb:
וַיִּתְרֹצֲצוּ הַבָּנִים בְּקִרְבָּהּ… כה:כג וַיֹּאמֶר יְ-הוָה לָהּ שְׁנֵי (גיים) [גוֹיִם] בְּבִטְנֵךְ וּשְׁנֵי לְאֻמִּים מִמֵּעַיִךְ יִפָּרֵדוּ וּלְאֹם מִלְאֹם יֶאֱמָץ וְרַב יַעֲבֹד צָעִיר. Gen 25:22 The children struggled in her womb… 25:23 and YHWH said to her, “Two nations are in your womb, two separate peoples shall issue from your body; one people shall be mightier than the other, and the older shall serve the younger.”
