Searching for Bigfoot is Bigfoot in the Bible?

Cain or Esau...What do you think?
I have read it all now...Bigfoot is claimed to be Cain!
I was talking to my husband about his research with Bigfoot when he showed me an article he found. (I have eagerly named it Lielas Pedas Bipedal, meaning large bipedal foot.) The article suggested that Bigfoot was actually Cain from the bible. Proof to this could be found in a book called “The Journal of Mormon History”
What?
I started at my husband in disbelief. Then I made him email me a copy of the story so I could read it myself.
The story states that a manuscript dating back to 1919 tells of a missionary being attacked by a huge hairy creature. The missionary claimed he drove the beast off in the name of Christ. This led to talk of another piece of the puzzle by another Mormon missionary named David W. Patten who had also encountered the Lielas Pedas in Tennessee in 1835. According to David Patten, the hairy creature wanders the Earth homeless, miserable, unable to die and seeks the souls of lost men. He too claims he rebuked the beast in the name of Christ, telling him to leave.
Supposedly this belief is derived of God telling Cain that his punishment for slaying his brother was to become a vagabond, a fugitive that shall wander the earth. Cain claimed that his punishment was greater than he could bear. He claimed that anyone that crossed his path would slay him. God placed upon Cain a mark that should anyone slay him, vengeance would be taken upon him sevenfold. (For more information on this look up Genesis 4:9-16)
This is where the wow factor for me came in. Cain is Bigfoot? A big hairy beast? Hmm, I think upon a closer look into the bible, one would come to think that Esau fit the description better than Cain.
Who was Esau?
Esau was the son of Isaac and the twin brother to Jacob. Isaac was the son of Abraham. Before Esau and Jacob were born, it was prophesied that the elder shall serve the younger. The Lord had told Rebekah that she was carrying twins; two nations and two manner of people. One shall be stronger than the other. When Esau was born, he came out red, like he was covered in a hairy garment. Jacob came next holding on the Esau's heel. Esau became a hunter while Jacob tended to the fields. Isaac favored Esau while Rebekah favored Jacob.
Here is the where the story gets interesting...
In those days, the eldest son inherited everything from the father. When it came time for Esau to claim his inheritance, he was tricked out of it by Jacob, with the help of Rebekah.
In order to pass Jacob off to his blind father as his brother, he was first covered in goat's skin and hair. Then his mother helped him cook up venison and lentils how his father liked it. When he confronted his father, he pretended to be Esau claiming Esau's birthright as his own. Esau distraught over the news cried to his father in a bitter cry and many claim that this is the sound that people hear when they are confronted by Bigfoot.
So, to make a long story a little shorter, there are scholars that believe that Bigfoot is human named Esau that began the bloodline of what we call Bigfoot. Esau was a mountain dweller that ate meat and lentils, crying a bitter cry. He had amazing strength, were tall and hairy, with a bad smell. Thus resembling an Ape. (For those that are curious for more information, the story of Esau and Jacob can be found in Genesis 25:20-30,34, Genesis 27:16,22-27)
I still sit here in awe...giggling....please tell me what you think...is Bigfoot a descendant of Cain or Esau? Or...none of the above...I really want to know what you think.

AN interesting theory. Thank you for sharing.
Yes, an interesting theory from a new perspective.After careful weighing of the Patterson film, I believe it is genuine.Despite there still being large wilderness areas in the northwest, Bigfoot type entities pop up in all kinds of places.Of course, some are hoax's and mis-identifications, but some are real.There is absolutely something beyond the mundane here.
Ok, Tipoague :0)
Now I thought I was a good story teller, but this one really needs an award all of its own...No your a great writer...its the guys that came up with this stuff..I think they were all dropped of at area 51 because the aliens did not want them either... The ones that believe he is cain LMAO..
An Old friend of mine cliams to have seen bigfoot and I don not doubt him he is an honest man...They way I figure it is prove he dosent exist...
Now I believe the missing link lives next door to me..his name is Earl, is 80 years old and is the hairy`st old man I have ever seen. Some nut will dig him up 100 years from now and stick him in the smithionan...
Great Hub..you gave me agood laugh..religous people need to get a life LOL
Glad to meet you
Mike :0)
thats insane! bigfoot in the bible aliens could be so why not him!
I enjoyed this read though my inborn scepticism leads me to doubt a lot of the mythology surrounding Bigfoot. I have to say at the same time that part of me hopes that it is real!
I mean what a great story for the person who proves that.
Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed it.
Love and peace
Tony
Wow, now I have heard it all! I tend to believe in the possibility of Big Foot and grew up wanting to prove their existence. However, this is the first time I have heard this therory! By the way, the 911 call was classic! Thanks for a good funny read!
I've just recently learned of the Esau connection when someone got rude with me online and mentioned Cain. I was almost convinced it was Esau but still don't get the Cain connection. I've seen a photo of a mountain man who had a dead bigfoot hung upside down and no one claims to know who this mountain man was or how he killed him. It appeared to have been shot. No one knows what became of the mountain man or who took the photo or passed it along to where we can find it today. Perhaps the Cain theory would apply here. The bigfoot live here at an habituation site, meaning on my property and surrounding area. Sometimes they worry me, scare me and other times I'm very intrigued by them.
When God set a mark upon Cain it was so all men would know him. While men were discouraged from taking vengeance it did not mean he would not die from old age, illness, injury or drown in the flood.
I Would like to think they are real, along with so many of the other legends. We watch a lot of the Monster Quest shows. Very entertaining if nothing else. The 911 video was a hoot!
...well looking over your sacred hub subjects in an overview as an introduction to your writing I must say that you are an incredible thinker and have the innate
ability to transfer these thoughts and communicate them to your readers - which makes you very special indeed!

Greetings, Tlpoague:
Please tell your husband that you have now encountered a man that is more obsessed with Bigfoot than he is. :0)
I have been studying the possibilities surrounding Bigfoot for more than 30 years and I have read hundreds, if not thousands of Bigfoot reports, books, and documentaries.
I used to be a Forest Ranger in the Cascade Mountain range in Washington State. Sometimes, I would be up above 8,000 feet in elevation, all by myself, and I would hear "tree knocking" all the time.
As far as listening to anything that Mormons have to say...don't. They haven't the slightest idea what they are talking about and are not the least bit credible.
Joseph Smith, Jr., their prophet, president, and king, even changed his alleged angelic encounter 9 times, before he settled on something that suited him. He got all the animals and plants wrong in the Book of Mormon and claimed the American Indians were related to Hebrews, which DNA tests proved to be wrong.
In fact, I don't know many people that have been wrong more than that man. To the best of my knowledge, the guy only got 9 out of 64 prophecies correct. In Old Testament times, he would have been stoned for being a false prophet, because they had to get them all right to be a prophet of God.
The Mormons even think that John the Apostle is still roaming the earth. Please don't give these people another thought; they are filled with the spirit of error and have surrendered their reason for madness. But, that is another story altogether. :0)
So, is Bigfoot Cain or Esau? Not even remotely possible.
After 30 years of study, I think I now know what Bigfoot may be. I would mention it here, but my answer would make for a very long Hub.
Best wishes and be well - C.J. Sledgehammer
I will drop by in a few days and give you my theory on what Bigfoot really is. Oh, and by the way, there may indeed be referrences to Bigfoot in the Bible and I'll address that, too.
Best wishes - C.J. Sledgehammer
I would propose Goliath and his brothers who were said to be 10 and 12 feet tall respectively may fit the bill as well. These giants were said to be the offspring of the Nepthlim described as sons of God aka fallen angels which were supernatural spirit beings who according to Genesis were exiled to outer darkness aka the Earth.
Genesis 6:2
That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
Genesis 6:4
There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
Genesis 35:5
And they journeyed: and the terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.
Numbers 13:33
And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
Deuteronomy 2:11
Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites called them Emims.
Deuteronomy 2:20
(That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;
Deuteronomy 3:11

Deuteronomy 3:13
And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, being the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, with all Bashan, which was called the land of giants.
Joshua 12:4
And the coast of Og king of Bashan, which was of the remnant of the giants, that dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei,
Joshua 13:12
All the kingdom of Og in Bashan, which reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei, who remained of the remnant of the giants: for these did Moses smite, and cast them out.
Joshua 15:8
And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom unto the south side of the Jebusite; the same is Jerusalem: and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lieth before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the end of the valley of the giants northward:
Joshua 17:15
And Joshua answered them, If thou be a great people, then get thee up to the wood country, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim be too narrow for thee.
Joshua 18:16
And the border came down to the end of the mountain that lieth before the valley of the son of Hinnom, and which is in the valley of the giants on the north, and descended to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of Jebusi on the south, and descended to Enrogel,

And there was yet a battle in Gath, where was a man of great stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant.
2 Samuel 21:22
These four were born to the giant in Gath, and fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.

And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand, and six on each foot and he also was the son of the giant.
1 Chronicles 20:8
These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
Though, I like the creativity of the IMMORTAL HAIRY MAN Esau versus Cain THEORY, giants are my candidate for the origin of the bigfoot people in the bible. Interesting the giants were descended from these spirit beings also described as watchers and holy ones.
Genesis 6:4
There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

Daniel 4:23
And whereas the king saw a watcher and an holy one coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew the tree down, and destroy it; yet leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him;

Wow, I don't know what to think! It's an intriguing theory ... but it would suggest immortality for humans on the earth, something which would contradict the rest of the Bible, so I would say not. But still, very interesting ideas. Great hub!
