I heard that Edom is the Roman empire. The issue here is that the 12 tribes of Israel are God's chosen nation, and the only way that non-Israelites can be saved is to be grafted into the nation of Israel via Jesus Christ. Anyone else among the Gentiles is going to end up in opposition to the nation of Israel. I also heard that Esau sent his son to rob and kill Jacob while he was on the way to find his wife in Abraham's country. In this way he hoped to get back the birthright that he gave away to Jacob in exchange for the lentil stew. But the son only robbed Jacob, and didn't kill him as instructed, so Jacob went penniless to Laban and had to work 7 years for Leah, and then another 7 years for the wife he really wanted, Leah. That's because the dowry he carried with him had been robbed by Esau's son. This is all in the book of Jasher.
