Genesis 25:1-34
Esau:mean hairy, Edom means red. He likes red stew.
Jacob: means he grasps the heel.
Esau swore an oath to Jacob for red stew who selling his birthright to Jacob. So Esau despised his birthright.
Abraham lived a hundred and seventy-five years. Abraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah. She bore him six sons. Abraham left everything he owned to Isaac. he gave gifts to the sons of his concubine and sent them away from his son Isaac to the land of the east.
Keturan's sons are the ancestors of a number of north Arabian peoples. All were provide for by Abraham. But Isaac remained his father's sole heir, and on Abraham's death both possessions and promises become his : God 'blessed' Isaac.
Ishmael: The tribes occupied Sinai and north-west Arabia - 'Havilah to Shur'
Once again the line is continued by the direct action of God. After 20 years
waiting. Esau and Jacob are born. Never were twins less alike in character.
Why?
Esau and Jacob has less alike in character, but Esau despised his birthright, so he lost he right "double blessed from the Lord"
Abraham is the father of many north and north-west Arabian people.
Only Jacob and his sons have the inheritance of the promise of God.
How?
Do not despise birthright, it is leader of a household. Blessing is double than others.
