The Book of Genesis describes Jacob and Esau as twin brothers and rivals. There is a strong mythical element to the story, even to the extent of Jacob trying to pull Esau back into the womb so that he could be born first. The very origins of the story of this rivalry, long before The Bible story was written, could be that Jacob symbolised the moon god and Esau represented the sun god, natural rivals.
