# How Esau had been ransacked, his hidden treasures looted
This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "Ah, enemies had ransacked Esau; they have looted his hidden treasures" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])
# Esau
The people of Edom were the descendants of Esau. Therefore, in this book "Edom" and "Esau" refer to the same group of people.
# had been ransacked
This means the enemies had searched through Esau's things, taken everything valuable, and left everything else in a mess or damaged.
