Isaac was born of God. Ishmael of the flesh. Abraham was promised Isaac by God. Ishmael came because Abraham did not trust in God and wait so he had a child with his servant. Isaac was God’s seed, Ishmael was not, he was man’s.
I was under the impression Esau was running for his life, being hunted by Nimrod. That’s why he said he was about to die. He needed to eat to keep moving. Correct me if I’m wrong, please. Anyone have thoughts on this?
No. I believe he was so angry at Jacob? For stealing the birthright, that’s why Jacob left. Esau went to find a suitable wife anyway even though Isaac was fooled.
Actually, my understanding from chapter 27 of the Book of Jasher is that Esau had killed Nimrod and stolen the "valuable garments" and was then running from Nimrod's men.
I've heard this too. Is it instead of or in addition to the death of Abraham? The Bible doesn't say. With Jewish tradition one must be very careful. Often they contradict the scriptures or are downright silly. For example: They say that Joseph in Egypt married Dina. The Bible says it was the daughter of the Egyptian high priest of On. 😮
@@eswn1816 It does start with "after the death if Abraham," so in addition to for sure. It also mentions Esau selling his portion of the burial cave in the field of Machpelah, and Jacob writing it all down in a book and sharing it with witnesses- indicating this wasn't a private secret between the two brothers. (I find it also interesting how this shows an intentional shrewdness in Jacob's character as we see later in dealing with Laban and his sheep.)
@@Laura-qs4gx Yes, but "after the death" is not the same as "during the funeral week." Interesting to speculate as long as we don't get dogmatic. Another good point is that the phrase for 'hunter' used only twice in scriptures (for Nimrod and Essau) is, I believe, hunters of men, ie, killers. This is also why Jacob was so fearful of Essau as he was the killer who killed the great(est) killer. Fascinating stuff! 😎
I haven't had a chance to watch the video (just the beginning), but the audio is really off and distracting. Not sure if it's when you edited the video or the original is off.
I agree, and it’s one of the reasons people should never turn to man to learn and understand the Bible. The Holy Spirit gives understanding to those who read the Word, seek and pray for understanding, and wait for it, plain and simple. @@jamesjaudon8247 James 3:1 Complete Jewish Bible 3 Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, since you know that we will be judged more severely.

Ham son Canaan was only cursed because he took land that was not his not because of the color of his skin.... Jubilees 10:30-33 [30]And Ham, his father, and Cush and Mizraim his brothers said unto him: 'Thou hast settled in a land which is not thine, and which did not fall to us by lot: do not do so; for if thou dost do so, thou and thy sons will fall in the land and (be) accursed through sedition; for by sedition ye have settled, and by sedition will thy children fall, and thou shalt be rooted out for ever. [31]Dwell not in the dwelling of Shem; for to Shem and to his sons did it come by their lot. [32]Cursed art thou, and cursed shalt thou be beyond all the sons of Noah, by the curse by which we bound ourselves by an oath in the presence of the holy judge, and in the presence of Noah our father.' [33]But he did not harken unto them, and dwelt in the land of Lebanon from Hamath to the entering of Egypt, he and his sons until this day.
Canaan was cursed because he was an illegitimate son. Ham slept with his mother, Noah’s wife and bore Canaan. That’s what it means to see your father’s nakedness in the Old Testament. And taking someone’s wife then was a sign of taking over their authority. Ham was trying to take over Noah as head of the household. Others have done this like David did to Saul
Thank you Tom for helping us to digest the Scriptures, so that we have a deeper understanding of what transpired between the two sides of Abrahams family, and why one received the blessing and the other did not. A very satisfying scriptural meal!
I would rather use "CHECK AND BALANCE" instead of DIVIDING or "Divide and Conquer" because the ftuit of Good/Evil also acts as a check/balance....my personal thoughts and not scriptures however, the Jewish Rabbi know better,,,❤❤❤
Let all you do and think be to the Glory of Christ.
What a revelation about the lentil stew.

Should be battle between Gentiles and Edom.
I love you and dearly appreciate your speakings, but, pssst, Earth means dry land, not a “planet” ❤🙏🏼
Why don't scholars bring this up in casual conversations? If this is a straight forward definition it does make some matters debatable.

Esua s mother was an Egyptian by birth and she worshipped other gods and Esua took after her ,thats why the division !
You must be thinking of Ishmael’s mother Hagar. Rebekkah came from the same family as Abraham.

Ham was never cursed, only Canaan.

I really appreciate the teaching you give. You are doing God’s work by providing teachings that are missing from modern day Churchianity.
Thank you! God bless.

Hey ,don't forget that Jacob tricked Esua out of his birthright ,the red soup scandal !Look it up yourselves in Genesis! 😊😊😊😊
Esua was so hungry he didn't care about his birthright.
He chose material (worldly) things, for example his hunger, over trusting God.
It was Esau's choice.
