And the separation of Israel there, as well as the separation of Israel from (true) Israel in Ishmael and Isaac (Romans 9:6-7), also serve as a pattern/type of God's great NT separation of true Israel from unbelieving Israel (Romans 11:17-19).My comment was in regards to understanding the history of Jacob and Esau in the Bible and how God interacted with both brothers. The relationship between Jacob and Esau is an allegory pertaining to salvation, just as Abraham’s two sons, Galatians 4:22-30. Esau born of the flesh and Jacob born of the promise.
However, your statement:However, both children had a relationship, children, land, inheritance and God made certain promises to both nations as both brothers were two separate nations. So it’s important to know their history as the Bible teaches.
"The Bible provides an undeniable explanation why God chose Jacob over Esau, and why God loved Jacob and hated Esau."
unless you mean there God's sovereign choice alone, based on nothing either of them did in their life,
is contra-Biblical.
