The part we see today is where Esau's impatience and Jacob's scheming add up to a transferred birthright, which is a thing bestowed on the firstborn signaling inheritance and prominence. Using a bowl of stew, God kind of flipped the script here. I relate to Esau a lot here. If you want to see me sin, wait for me to get tired and hungry.

Give me a string of nights where I've only had a couple hours of sleep each night and all my wisdom goes out the window. I would be wise to remember Esau's life. Also, this promise for the younger child, I want to point out that this isn't just a one-off situation as far as God is concerned. This has actually started to be a bit of a theme in Scripture as well.

Let me point out a few other times this has happened so far. The offering of Abel, the younger child, was accepted while Cain, the firstborn, was not. Isaac, Abraham's second son, got the promises that normally would have gone to Ishmael. And then it happens again here with Jacob and Esau. Here's my take on what this is showing us.

There are a few places in Scripture that establish Jesus as our older brother. Romans 8 says he is the firstborn among many brothers. And if he's the firstborn, and we're the younger brothers and sisters, then he should get all the inheritance. But guess what? He shares. We know this because Romans 8 also tells us that we share in his inheritance.

This reminds me of what we saw in Job where the daughters shared in the inheritance too. we wrap up today's reading with a little section on Esau. Like his dad Isaac, he marries at 40. Sometimes when people talk about sexual purity, they say it's an outdated idea because the Bible was written when people got married so young at like 13 or 14.

And maybe some of them did, but according to the few marriage ages we do have recorded, that's not necessarily always the case. There's one thing I want to make sure we don't miss in this final short paragraph. Esau marries two Hittite women. Not only does he marry two women, which is descriptive, not prescriptive, meaning it's telling us what he did, not telling us what we should do.

But in addition to that, both of these women are outside the family God has set his blessing on. His brother Jacob is committed to God's plan for this family, but Esau is indifferent or possibly even antagonistic to it. Rest assured, though, even his rebellion fits into the big picture. What was your God shot for today? I loved seeing how God is no respecter of persons.
