Our readings are brief today! In Chapter 25 verse 19 we begin reading about Jacob and Esau.  Jacob we will read about for a large portion of the remainder of Genesis – there is actually not that many chapters we will read about Isaac.  Tomorrow, in verse 34 we read this about Jacob & Esau: “Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and lentil stew. Esau ate and drank and went on about his business, indifferent to the fact that he had given up his birthright.”  Below is Dutch Baroque Era painter Hendrik Martensz Sorgh’s beautiful “Interior with Jacob and Esau” painting from the year 1662 (the bright foreground almost takes away from the background with Esau swearing off his birthright):
