Why did God choose Jacob over Esau?
The Bible does not say that God chose Jacob; in fact Jacob's success is explained in the Bible as coming about by Jacob's repeated unethical conduct, which would presumably be anathema to God.
Why were Jacob and Esau at odds?
In the Bible, Jacob wronged Esau because he "stole" the blessing his father was going to give to Esau (Genesis 27:1-40) . Jacob did this by pretending to be Esau. He lied to his father basically. He deceived him. His father couldn't tell by sight if it was Esau because he was blind (Genesis 27:1).
Where in the bible does it say that sometimes God chooses not to heal someone?
For Jacob I have loved and Esau I have hated. That being said God did not save Esau but God did give him wives and a land all his own and children, in other words even though we know for sure Esau was not saved and Jacob was, God did not leave him totally deprived. Esau loved his wife and children and even had the ability to forgive his brother Jacob 20 years later after he stole his birthright. Jesus says is it not easier to tell someone that their sins be forgiven them or to heal them of their blindness. If someone is sick its because of the sinful world we chose from the beginning and it is not Gods fault, But dont worry He will fix it soon. And God will choose whom God will choose. I sam 2-6 its pretty self explanitory.

What does the story of Jacob and Esau symbolize?
It's at Genesis 25:19-34 & 27:1-45. Jacob and Esau were twins. When their mother was pregnant with them, God told her that there were two babies in her and that the older would serve the younger. This was pretty much unheard of back then. Since Esau was born first, he was to get the blessing/inheritance from his father Isaac. A blessing from the father was a really big deal. Esau was Isaac's favorite. A manly man. Jacob was his mothers favorite. Not a sissy but not as rough as his brother. As Isaac got older his eyesight failed. Esau was came in very hungry and was willing to give away everything for a meal. This is when Jacob told him to trade his birthright for a meal. Esau, like so many of us, live for the moment and make rash decisions. Obviously Esau didn't really mean it, he just said it to get a meal. But he did say it. In chapter 27 it is told about the deception of Isaac. The deception was actually their mothers idea, Rebekah. She loved Jacob more that Esau and she wanted Jacob to get the blessing. This would also fulfill what God had told her. If Jacob got the birthright then he would be over his brother just as God had told. Not everything has to make sense to us because we cannot presume to have the same understanding as God. Everything that happens has to have a chain of events and God sees that they come true. Keep reading and you will see what troubles this deception has caused Jacob. But God has a plan.
