I read the links and the actual bible verses (most of Genesis, actually). Here's what I came up with:
Esau was a hard worker. Jacob helped his mom around the house. Esau had such a rough day one day, that he thought he might die, and he asked his brother for some food. Jacob held the food for ransom. Esau, thinking he might die without some food, said ok. Brothers being what they are, he maybe thought his brother was being a jerk, but wasn't really going to try to take his birthright....he was wrong.
Then, with the blessing...it was a blessing specifically for ESAU. Isaac checked several times to make sure it was Esau and not Jacob. When Esau got back, after doing what his father asked, he found out he had been robbed of his blessing too! And it says he cried about it, so he DID care....
Now, someone said the person who told me the story must have been Muslim, because they think Esau was right. (He's a Baptist, btw)
I think Esau got a raw deal: does that make me a Muslim?
