'People' in the Bible

How the people of Esau will be thoroughly plundered! Their hidden valuables will be ransacked!

"Because you violently slaughtered your relatives, the people of Jacob, shame will cover you, and you will be destroyed forever.

Do not gloat over your brotherin the day of his calamity;do not rejoice over the people of Judahin the day of their destruction;do not boastfully mockin the day of distress.

Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity;

And do not take your place at the cross-roads, cutting off those of his people who get away; and do not give up to their haters those who are still there in the day of trouble.

And the children of Jacob will be a fire and those of Joseph a flame, and the children of Esau dry stems of grass, burned up by them till all is gone: and there will be no people living in Esau; for the Lord has said it.

People from the Negev will possessthe hill country of Esau;those from the Judean foothills will possessthe land of the Philistines.They will possessthe territories of Ephraim and Samaria,while Benjamin will possess Gilead.

The exiles of this fortress of the people of Israel will take possession of what belongs to the people of Canaan, as far as Zarephath, and the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad will take possession of the towns of the Negev.
