Thoughts
1. Isaac and Ishmael - Find the September 11th, 2001 episode of The West Wing.

2. Rebekah seemed a little concerned to be pregnant

3. Esau appeared to have no interest in family traditions


Details
1. That episode of West Wing was the first time I put two and two together to connect Christianity and Islam. Sparked some curiosity to find out more about the roots of the two and what makes them different. Still not satisfied yet and I look forward to some more research on the two when I have time.

2. Maybe it is my personal experiences that color this but Rebekah seemed upset that she was pregnant or maybe just being away from her own family felt like an outsider and didn't have an experienced woman to consult. Knowing what happens next it is also interesting maybe there is some animosity towards Isaac for praying for her to give birth or as a result of her barrenness. Did her faith fail when she was barren? Some of these are similar questions I have been through in my own experiences.

3. I see Esau as showing complete disgust for anything related to his father. Even though he was close to dying, in his words, he rejected the ultimate gift a father could give his son during that time. Again knowing what happens next the warning signs are there.
