Genesis 25 – Abraham remarries, Rebekah gives birth, and Esau sells his birthright

Read Genesis 25

- V5, despite have more children, why do you think Abraham gave all he had to Isaac ?

- V9-10, do you think this was a rather momentous occasion to havde Isaac and Ishmael burying Abraham together ?

- V9-10, do you think the ability to bury subsequent family members in the same place was the reason why Abraham was so insistent on purchasing the land in the first place ?

- V29-34, although it would be fair to assume Esau was extremely tired and hungry, do you think Esau lacked respect for his birthright ?... or that Jacob was showing disrespect by buying it so cheaply ?...or is this simply a case of sibling rivalry ?
