Why did Esau end up intermingling with and marrying pagan Canaanites?
Esau ended up intermingling with and marrying pagan Canaanites because he was a man destitute of faith. He saw no importance in the birthright at age twenty-four; it meant nothing to him. Consequently, his life became intermingled with the pagan Canaanites until he married a couple of them at age forty.
Les explains that Esau was destitute of faith, so the birthright meant nothing to him at age 24. There was no immediate enmity between Jacob and Esau over the birthright deal. Then, 16 years after Jacob took the birthright, Esau married Canaanite women, which was a grief of mind to Isaac and Rebekah. Les teaches that Esau's life was intermingled with the pagan Canaanites until he finally married a couple of them at age 40, showing the kind of man Esau really was.
