Initial Thoughts:
1. Esau's spite
2. Isaac's Forgiveness or Ignoring of Jacob's Actions
Detailed Thoughts:
1. Sounds like Esau to act out of spite and take a Caananite wife. And then for her to be from Ishmael's family as well. Intrigue abounds.
2. I also find it interesting that Isaac either forgave Jacob for stealing what was rightfully Esau's or ignored it completely. Then the argument can be made was it Jacob's all along when he purchased the birthright from Esau? Seems like Esau was content to be the "black sheep" of the family in the short term. If he expected his life to be short why did he care about the blessing when he cared nothing for the birthright?
