Esau was Jacob's twin brother. They were Shemites. The Jewish race wasn't officially Jewish until Jacob had his 12 sons which are the forefathers of all Jewish people of the 12 tribes of Israel, as they were once divided into, until the dispersion. As Esau was Jacobs brother, they had the same father, Isaac, which was the son of Abraham. At this point they were Shemites, the common relative of most people of the middleast region. The people that stemmed from Esau are called the Edomites, and considered as a distinct and different group or race of people as the Jews were, and are.
Esau was a descendant of Isaac and Abraham, and is commonly associated with the Edomites, a Semitic people who inhabited the region of Edom in the ancient Near East.
