BIY - Genesis 27

Initial Thoughts:
1. Talk about family issues!
2. Esau doesn't want the birthright but then throws a fit over the blessing?
3. Rebekah is an interesting personality.

Detailed Thoughts:
1.And you thought your family was bad. Mother picks a favorite son and sets out to deceive her husband. I'll visit this some more in point 3.
2. First some definitions:
Brithright: Double portion of the inheritance typically to the eldest son. Responsibility for the remaining family at home. Did Esau not want the responsibility but wanted the benefits? Looks to me like Esau wanted to be blessed but was not necessarily interested in father's possessions. Though it appears that Esau and Isaac shared a general like for hunting. Isaac also seemed to know it was not Esau but did not push the issue.
3. Where did the animosity come from for the land and Isaac. Intentionally defrauding your spouse, complaining about the land. And perhaps an early incidence of racism. An interesting personality.
