Answer 1

JACOB AND ESAU

Jacob get the birthright of his brother that is a twin,
Esau is fleshly, as Jacob by his spirit God defends,
Isaac loves both of them, he is to old to understand,
It’s Jacob to produce the heirs of the Promised Land.

After Ishmael dies, the eldest son of Father Abraham,
Rebecca sends Jacob to be safe in her fathers land,
He works 7 years for Laban, and 7 more and 6 then,
He is ready to go back into canaan land one again.

Jacob had a large family in Padanaram at 20 years,
He loved Rachel, but get 3 maids by tradition here,
Leah and sister, produced 9 children, 8 are sons,
Rachel and sister produced four, last is Benjamin.

As 12 tribes of Israel are born, Jacob leaves Laban,
He mets Esau in Sier land, he faces evil in Shechem,
Rachel dies at Bethlehem, Joseph lost as a mere teen,
Isaac dies in Hebron at Mamre, famine’s has all lean.

So they leave for Egypt as he learns Joseph is alive,
He has 70 family members and in Egypt they survive,
Joseph is governor to the king so Egypt is Paradise,
To Joseph dies, bondage is in as baby Moses arrives.

Answer 2

Ancient Jewish tradition holds that the reason Esau was so hungry, was because he had just emerged victorious in a to-the-death struggle with Nimrod, the mighty hunter of biblical reknown.

Nimrod was supposed to have been in possession of the leopard skin clothing that God had personally made for Adam and Eve, after the fall.

It was sort of a royal robe, thought to have special powers, and Esau wanted it.

Esau met up with Nimrod, duked it out, killed Nimrod, and made off with the leopard skin duds.

Distracted, hungry, and worn out from all the fighting, he was easily cheated out of his birthright.

No one knows what ever happened to those leopard skins.

But interestingly enough, the same leopard skins are in some way associated with the rise of the Beast, in the Book of Revelation:

Rev 13:1 (12:18) (And he stood upon the sand of the sea.) And I saw a beast coming up out the sea, having seven heads and ten horns: and upon his horns, ten diadems: and upon his heads, names of blasphemy.

=======================================
Rev 13:2 And the beast which I saw was like to a leopard:
=======================================
and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his own strength and great power.

Answer 3

Actually I was a little put off by the fact that the wife and son of a dying man tricked the old guy into giving his blessing to his second son instead of his heir. I felt that was very mean and tricky.
