I already asked you to cite for me in the OT where it says Esau was an Arab.
And, provide an archaeological record for the existence of an Arab civilization prior to islime in the 7th century CE.
The archaeological record verifies Jews existed in at least 1200 BCE, 2000 years before the Arab trash.
Watcha got for me?
I got the real story-------The ISHMAEL being the progenitor of the arabs of Arabia is------nonsense. There is no reason to so believe either from that which is written in the bible or for any other reason. There is an ISHMAEL myth---which describes the descendants of Ishmael as ------illiterates----
nomadic -----criminals of the wilderness. Since the people of Arabia did FIT THE BILL-----they were called ISHMAELITES. I see no reason to believe that the
appellation is based on an historic "fact" that Ishmael
was their progenitor. The people of Arabia WERE historically---nomadic, and since they lived in a place that was along the SILK ROAD----they were also caravan robbers and they also engaged for THOUSANDS OF YEARS in
SLAVE TRADE-----they had easy access to sub-Saharan Africa and supplied black slaves to the caravan guys-----headed toward Egypt----Greece----Persia and even to Italy.
Black slaves were a commodity of the nomads of Arabia .
In fact ---SUDAN is an arab COLONY-----a trading outpost---
in the sub-Saharan slave trade. Anthropologist believe---
based on evidence ----that the BEDOUIN of the Sinai and of the Negev and of Jordan----etc ------are nomads FROM ARABIA-----who got there around the time and even a bit before arab marauders emerged from Arabia in the MUSLIM ERA
