3.   How does the writer of Hebrews want Christians to apply the character of Esau to their lives?
4.   In what ways does Esau’s genealogy demonstrate God’s faithfulness to Abraham? How does this encourage us to trust in God today?
5.   Discuss the significance of the words in v. 31, “before any king reigned over the Israelites.” What does this teach us about the Christian life?
6.   How does Genesis 36 anticipate Christ as both Savior and King?
