Are Arabs the Children of Esau

Are The Arabs Truly The Children Of Esau?

The Holy records are very clear as to who the Arabs are in truth. Abraham had maid-wives, Hagar who bare Ishmael and Keturah who bare his other six sons:

Gen 16:3, 15

And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife. 15 And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son's name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael.

Genesis 25:1-6

1 Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name {was} Keturah. 2 And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah. 3 And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim. 4 And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these {were} the children of Keturah. 5 And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac. 6 But unto the sons of the maid-wives, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country.

The sons of the two other wives of Abraham went to the East country:

Jubilee 20:11-13

[11] And he gave to Ishmael and to his sons, and to the sons of Keturah, gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son. [12] and Ishmael and his sons, and the sons of Keturah and their sons, went together and dwelt from Paran to the entering in of Babylon in all the land which is towards the East facing the Desert.

By description, the land the Ishmaelites and sons of Keturah went to is describing the Arabian Peninsula and South west Iraq region.

Jubilee 20:13

[13] And these mingled with each other, and their name was called Arabs, and Ishmaelites.

Jeremiah 25:24

And all the kings of Arabia,H6152 and all the kings of the mingled people H6154 that dwell in the desert,

(desert is Arabia. According to scripture, this means the Arabs are the children of Keturah and Ishamael.

Definition:

H6152

ערב

Translation: ireba

BDB definition: steppe-dwellers. The people inhabiting the country east and south of Canaan, the nomadic desert Bedouins, Arabians, Arab.

One can also identify the common Arabic family names like Ahmed, Hamed, Amed, Abdala, Mahmud and Mohamed in scripture among the Ishmaelites because these are names from ancient generations of the sons of Ishmael that did not originate from the religion of Mohamed.

Jasher 25:22-24

22. And these are the names of the sons of Nebayoth the firstborn of Ishmael; Mend, Send, and Mayon. And the sons of Kedar were Alyon, Kezem, Chamad (Hamad H2530/Hamed H2531) and Eli. (Ali H5941) 23. And the sons of Adbeel were Chamad and Jabin; and the sons of Mibsam were Obadiah, Ebedmelech and Yeush; these are the families of the children of Ribah, the wife of Ishmael. 24. And the sons of Mishma, the son of Ishmael, were Shamua, Zecaryon and Obed. (Abdu H5650/ Abdi H5660) And the sons of Dumah were Kezed, Eli, Machmad (Mohamed H4261 or Mahmoud/Mahmud H4262) and Amed (Ahmad/Ahmed H2530)

So one can see that the Ishmaelites still retained their common family names and those names have now spread to many nations via the religion created by Mohamed the Ishmaelite. The sons of Keturah are also known as the Children (men) of the East in scripture, so one can identify their nation and know that Arabs are not Edomites because Jubilee 20:12-13 showed the sons of Keturah are called Arabs, not Edom.

Jasher 62:15
[15]And the children of Midian sent to all their brethren the children of the east, and all their brethren, all the children of Keturah came to assist Midian to fight with Moab.

Jubilee 20:12-13

[12] and Ishmael and his sons, and the sons of Keturah and their sons, went together and dwelt from Paran to the entering in of Babylon in all the land which is towards the East facing the Desert.

[13] And these mingled with each other, and their name was called Arabs, and Ishmaelites.

So the Arabs and Ishmaelites are the mingled people (Arabs) of the scriptures.

Jeremiah 25:24

And all the kings of Arabia,H6152 and all the kings of the mingled people H6154 that dwell in the desert,

Esau is his own nation, not reckoned among the Arabs. He is one of the two nations that came from Isaac and Rebecca.

Gen 25:23, 25

And Ahayah said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger. 25 And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.

Gen 36:1, 8-19

Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom. 8 Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau is Edom. 9 And these are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in mount Seir: 10 These are the names of Esau's sons; Eliphaz the son of Adah the wife of Esau, Reuel the son of Bashemath the wife of Esau. 11 And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenaz. 12 And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz Esau's son; and she bare to Eliphaz Amalek: these were the sons of Adah Esau's wife. 13 And these are the sons of Reuel; Nahath, and Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah: these were the sons of Bashemath Esau's wife. 14 And these were the sons of Aholibamah, the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon, Esau's wife: and she bare to Esau Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah. 15 These were dukes of the sons of Esau: the sons of Eliphaz the firstborn son of Esau; duke Teman, duke Omar, duke Zepho, duke Kenaz, 16 Duke Korah, duke Gatam, and duke Amalek: these are the dukes that came of Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these were the sons of Adah. 17 And these are the sons of Reuel Esau's son; duke Nahath, duke Zerah, duke Shammah, duke Mizzah: these are the dukes that came of Reuel in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Bashemath Esau's wife. 18 And these are the sons of Aholibamah Esau's wife; duke Jeush, duke Jaalam, duke Korah: these were the dukes that came of Aholibamah the daughter of Anah, Esau's wife. 19 These are the sons of Esau, who is Edom, and these are their dukes.

Genesis 36:40-43

And these are the names of the dukes that came of Esau, according to their families, after their places, by their names; duke Timnah, duke Alvah, duke Jetheth, 41 Duke Aholibamah, duke Elah, duke Pinon, 42 Duke Kenaz, duke Teman, duke Mibzar, 43 Duke Magdiel, duke Iram: these be the dukes of Edom, according to their habitations in the land of their possession: he is Esau the father of the Edomites.

The Edomite nation stems from Esau, not Ishmael or Keturah's children, so they are not Arabs according to scripture. Now mind you, there are Edomites who may actually look like Arabs today though they are not of the Arab or Ishmaelite race according to scripture. So according to scripture, rest assured that nation of Esau are not Ishmaelites or Arabs as a nation from scriptural understanding.
