In this episode we look at the twin brothers and their interaction a bit closer. From the book of Jasher we see the reason why Esau sold his birthright to Jacob and some additional insight concerning the situation about the blessing. We also learn a bit more about their character. Jacob is “perfect and wise” who dwelt in heaven; while Esau is a “designing and deceitful” man (Gen_25:27 & Yasher 26:17); Abraham dies (Gen_25:17 & Yasher 26:29)

Esau kills Nimrod & sells Jacob his birthright (Gen_25:29-34 & Yasher 27) Famine in the Land – Isaac goes to Gerar “for a full year (Gen_26:1-12 & Yasher 28:1-13)

Salah, son of Arphaxad dies – Isaac sends Jacob to Shem and Eber’s house to learn Yehovah’s ways (32 years). Esau was not willing to go. (Yasher 28:17-18) Esau “hunted after the hearts of men and Inveigled them” (Yasher 28:20) Esau marries Jehudith, daughter of Beeri, Jacob goes to the house of Shem for 32 years.
