What's for Sup

And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob. And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint: And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom. And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright. And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me? And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob. Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.-Genesis 25:28-34***Rebekah was the sister of Laban the Syrian, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian, the granddaughter of Nahor, and the great-granddaughter of Terah. Nahor, Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai) were Terah's children. When Abraham was 100 years old and Sarah was 90, Isaac, their only child, was born to Abraham and Sarah. When Isaac was 40 years old, he married Rebekah. When Isaac was 60 years old, fraternal twin sons Esau (Edom) and Jacob (Israel) were born to Isaac and Rebekah. Esau was the firstborn. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that there was contention between Esau and Jacob in the womb. Moreover, there was harmful interaction between Esau and Jacob regarding a meal that Esau wanted and a birthright and blessing that Jacob wanted. Sometime thereafter, Jacob obeyed Rebekah, deceived Isaac and was sent from the family home in Canaan to live with Laban. Twenty years after journeying to Laban's home, and eventually marrying Laban's daughters Leah and Rachel, Jacob and Esau reunited. Approximately 500 years after the reunion, the Israelites were led across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto Canaan, the Promised Land, the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, and Isaac, and to Jacob, and their descendants the Israelites. The Syrians (Arameans) and Esau's descendants the Edomites were often in battles against the Israelites throughout the centuries that the Israelites lived under the leadership of kings in the Promised Land. Notably, Nahor, Terah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and many of their ancestors, and many of their descendants who reigned in Jerusalem in the Promised Land are listed in the biblical genealogies of Jesus the Christ, the Son of God.-Genesis, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
