Esau
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine, singular, accusative (indeclinable proper name). |
| Rendering Rationale | The term is a direct transliteration of the Hebrew proper name עֵשָׂו and functions solely as a personal name in Greek. The accusative masculine singular form reflects its grammatical role but does not alter its English form. |
