Esau???
That's an interesting topic...
Do you truly think God h**ed him???
Take a look at the actions of his brother and then consider who the covenant of Abraham truly belongs to... Also, consider who is speaking the line about God hating him...
The first bad thing Esau did was give up his birthright. The second, and worse thing he did was marry outside the tribes. God h**es miscegenation! One man was messing around with a foreign woman and God was ready to k**l all the tribes and start over - until Phineas ran a spear through the both of them. It was only then that God was requited.
