Word of the Day - 5/23/2008

Pilose

Pilose means hairy, covered with hair, especially soft hair; furry.

Esau had a pilose body, even at birth. (Genesis 25:25, 27:11, 27:23)

Now the first came forth red, all over like a hairy garment; and they named him Esau. (Genesis 25:25, NASB)

Note: This highly flattering image of Esau is from a 2001 quilt by Marilyn Belford entitled "For a Mess of Pottage".
