he was in the pool and died
Answer
Esau was the eldest son of Isaac who would have inherited the covenant that God made with Abraham and that Abraham passed on to Isaac; he traded his birthright to his twin brother Jacob for a mess of pottage
Your are probably referring to Jacob and Esau. They were twins born to Isaac and Rebekah. God chose Jacob to continue the Hebrew (Israel) race and He rejected Esau. Esau became the "father" of the Edomite's. They would be distant cousins of Israel. To read of the fascinating story of Jacob and Esau see Genesis, chapter 27.
Isaac, the son of Abraham, had two sons named Esau and Jacob.

The presents Jacob gave to Esau were: two hundred and twenty, two hundred and twenty sheep, thirty camels, thirty donkeys, forty cattle, and ten bulls.
In the Bible, Jacob's brother's name was Esau. They were twin brothers, with Jacob being the younger of the two. Their story is found in the book of Genesis.
Isaac's two sons, Jacob and Esau, buried him.
Isaac had two sons that he loved: Jacob & Esau
She gave birth to twin sons and named the firstborn twin Esau and the second Jacob.
Jacob stole his brother Esau's birthright and blessing. The birthright included a double portion of their father's inheritance, while the blessing was a verbal declaration of prosperity and leadership within the family.
Only one; and that was Isaac's chief blessing, which he had intended for Esau. The birthright itself was not stolen, since Esau willingly sold it to Jacob. The fact that he sold it for a bowl of food shows how little he valued it (Genesis 25:31-34). Concerning Jacob's stealing the blessing:Jacob posed as Esau in Isaac's presence (Genesis ch.27) and received the blessing that was meant for Esau. Jacob is not to blame, for the following reasons:1) The word of God had informed their mother Rebecca that Jacob the younger son would be the favored one; the one to prevail (Genesis 25:23). Acting on this, she commanded Jacob to pose as Esau and seek Isaac's blessing (27:6-10), despite his trepidation (27:11).2) By willingly having sold Jacob his birthright, Esau relinquished any claim to Isaac's chief blessing which would go to the firstborn. The fact that he later complained (27:36) doesn't change this; and he did receive a blessing of his own (27:39).3) Isaac had not been informed that Esau sold Jacob the birthright. When he was later told this, he understood why God had allowed Jacob to get the chief blessing, and he continued blessing Jacob on later occasions (ch.28), never censuring him. Moreover, God Himself gives Israel (Jacob) the title of firstborn (Exodus 4:22 with Rashi commentary).
