Gen 25:1-34

I think it's interesting again that we are exploring the family of Ishmael. It's neat that he has twelve tribes too.

Ahh, here we are finally learning about the reddish one...like Andy. I think it's also interesting that Esau is the brother who goes out and does things and Jacob is the one to tend to the home...I wonder if the author is drawing a parallel to Cain and Abel...certainly less sinister, but perhaps still there...especially in light of Esau selling his birthright for some lentil soup...
