This commandment is for you, priests, if you will not listen. Behold I will rebuke your offspring and spread dung on your faces, even the dung of your sacrifices; and you will be taken away with it.
Malachi 1:1-2:7
toldot “And these are the offspring of Isaac” Genesis 25:19-28:9
Rebecca, Jacob’s mother, has convinced her younger and more
spiritually awake son to disguise himself as his rough skinned brother Esau so
that his now blind father Isaac will bless him first.Jacob had doubts about doing this, while he wore a hairy
garment to fool his father.He
prepared lentils that his father liked to eat and served them pretending to be
Esau, while his brother the more physical and cruder of the two was out
hunting.
Esau is seen in the upper left about to spear a wolf.
Above Isaac is the birth of these twins where Jacob was
holding onto the first born hairy Esau’s leg to try to pull him back into the
womb so Jacob could be born first but when Esau threatened his mother’s life
even as the two were being born, Jacob relented.
