Hebrews 12:16

ἀπέδοτο אDKL. In AC ἀπέδετο, which is probably a mere oversight, and a form which has no authority.

16. πόρνος. The word must be taken in a literal sense, since Esau was not “an idolater.” It is true that Esau is not charged with fornication in the Book of Genesis (which only speaks of his heathen marriages, Genesis 26:34; Genesis 28:8), but the writer is probably alluding to the Jewish Haggadah, with which he was evidently familiar. There Esau is represented in the blackest colours, as a man utterly sensual, intemperate, and vile, which is also the view of Philo (see Siegfried, Philo, p. 254).

βέβηλος. A man of coarse and unspiritual mind (Genesis 25:33). Philo explained the word “hairy” to mean that he was sensuous and lustful.

ἀντὶ βρώσεως μιᾶς. “For one meal” (Genesis 25:29-34).
