As we're going through the book of Genesis in our #ReadersClub, I realized that Abraham and Isaac had similar flaws and strengths. Isaac told the same "half-truth" as his father Abraham.
Another thing that stands out to me is how Abraham and Isaac did not rest on their oars even in the face of success. They kept moving from glory to glory in spite of all they had achieved.
I also found it amusing that Esau claimed Jacob STOLE his birthright when he, Esau, was the one that SOLD the birthright. There are some people just like Esau. They sold their birthrights and they are now claiming that the birthrights were stolen.
I learnt that delay can be dangerous. Esau did not take Isaac's request to bring him game as an urgent request. If Esau was quick about his assignment, he would have picked what Rebekkah picked to make the meal as quickly as Rebekkah did.
