Genesis 27-1-41 Dealing with an Esau

In this episode, we examine the story of Isaac's blessing on Jacob rather than Esau. What were the motives behind Isaac, Rebekah, Esau and Jacob? These verses reveal the threat of the covenant line of promise coming to an end if Esau were to recieve the blessing. Esau sold his birthright, married two Canaanite women and thus hybridized the promised seed. Jacob was the true heir of promise. What were the characteristics of Esau and how do we deal with Esau today?
