SIBI-P1 H6215-01

Esav (the Made-One)

Morphological NotesProper noun, masculine singular (HNp). The form functions as a personal name without inflection. Etymologically connected to a passive participial formation from עשה.
Rendering RationaleThe name עֵשָׂו is traditionally understood as deriving from the root עשה ("to make, do"), likely reflecting a passive participial sense—"made" or "formed." As a masculine singular proper noun (HNp), the rendering preserves both the personal name and its root sense by glossing it as "the Made-One," maintaining masculine singular force.
