What does it mean that "I hated Esau"?
What does it mean to say, "So I loved Jacob and hated Esau"? Romans 9:13
In Rjareegam translation, it is translated as "I do not want Esau."
There are many interpretations of this, but I will share only two important explanations.
This area has been misunderstood by many.
Why should God hate Esau? Why should Esau be rejected even before he was born?
Is our God unjust? It can't be like that.
The true meaning of hating Esau is that I loved Jacob more than Esau.
Because it depends on the sovereignty of God.
.
Both were born of Adam's transgression. Both were born in sin.
There was no merit in both.
There is no fairness.
So we can blame God if we ignore the righteousness of one and do injustice to the other.
But both were born in sin. We cannot blame God when He wants to love someone too much.
Because when there are so many great people in the world, knowing only ourselves depends on God's love and sovereignty.
"Unless he hates father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters and his own life, he cannot be my disciple." This must be matched with the words of Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ did not say to hate father, mother, wife, children, brother, and sister. They wanted to love him more than they did.
Another interpretation
These words (I hated Esau) were not mentioned at the place where the event occurred. Genesis 25:21-27.
Malachi 1:2-3. It is in the prophetic book of Malachi that he wrote a thousand years later.
When many scribes write about the reason for this, it is said that this was based on the many things that the descendants of Esau (Edomites and Moabites) did against the people of Israel (Numbers 24:17, 18; Hebrews 12:17; Isaiah 11:6, 11, 1, 14).
So the real truth is that God does not hate anyone fundamentally.. ezekiel Shanmugavel
