Genesis 27:11

Hebrew Bible

10 Then you will take it to your father. Thus he will eat it and bless you before he dies.” 11But Esau my brother is a hairy man,” Jacob protested to his mother Rebekah, “and I have smooth skin! 12 My father may touch me! Then he’ll think I’m mocking him and I’ll bring a curse on myself instead of a blessing.”

Joshua 11:17

Hebrew Bible

16 Joshua conquered the whole land, including the hill country, all the Negev, all the land of Goshen, the foothills, the rift valley, the hill country of Israel and its foothills, 17 from Mount Halak up to Seir, as far as Baal Gad in the Lebanon Valley below Mount Hermon. He captured all their kings and executed them. 18 Joshua campaigned against these kings for quite some time.

 Notes and References

"... the description in Genesis 27:11 of Jacob as a “smooth” (Hebrew, 'halak') man and Esau as a “hairy” (Hebrew, 'seir') man recalls the place names Mt. Halak and Mt. Seir in Joshua 11:17 that mark the boundaries between Israel and Edom. Esau’s willingness to trade his birthright to Jacob for some lentils, described in Genesis 25:30 in Hebrew as ha-adom, “red stuff,” and his description in Genesis 25:25 as a “ruddy” (Hebrew, 'admoni') and a “hairy” (Hebrew, ke-adderet seir, “like a hairy mantle”) likewise reinforces Esau’s identification with Edom and Seir ..."
