Esau is a [[Typology|type]] of the unsaved man; he cares nothing for God or God's promise and is willing to give it up merely to relieve a temporary hunger. {{Bible quote|Also will I make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.|book=Psalm|chap=89|verses=27}}

Here, the word for firstborn is related to the word for birthright. Therefore the birthright is also related to the coming Messiah, [[Jesus]], and [[Esau]] despises him and is a type of all men who will despise and reject him. Esau, then, is justly deprived of his birthright.
