aaq, who mentions yishuv EY regarding eisav? Kibuv av, yes, but I dont remember seeing that anywhere.
And with good reason. The mitzvah of yishuv EY is more of a hechsher mitzvah to be mekayam mitzvos tluyos baarets, of which, eisav ostensibly kept none. Also, that mitzvah had not been given at all yet, since there was no kibush, only a promise. That was the ta’anah of the shepherds of Lot; the land is already ours, but that was not true (hagam, some say the guf hakarka belonged to avrohom but not the peiros…gets complicated, but even so, “beyitzchak yikarei…” was said, and at the point that yaakov was worried, eisav had already lost the right to EY to yaakov, so I have a very hard time believing someone says that eisav was mekayam yishuv EY, for both reasons I mentioned.
