I hated — I loved not Esau's posterity as I loved Jacob's. His heritage — Mount Seir with the neighbouring mountains. Waste — By Nebuchadnezzar's arms five years after the sacking of Jerusalem, and whereas Jacob's captivity returned, and their cities were rebuilt, Esau's never were. The dragons — Creatures which delight in desolate places, by which the utter desolation of Esau is signified.
