Having a horrible time going to sleep as I was in much pain yesterday and feel asleep around 8 pm then woke up, and fell asleep again and then got up a 2am and couldn't get back to sleep until around 8 this morning. My mind wouldn't shut off and all kinds of thoughts were flitting through my head, mostly about my business and projects but there were other things too.
One I remember was about Jacob. I guess I got to thinking about my father whom I haven't seen in almost 30 years, because my anniversary was yesterday and my father in law died just a little over a day later after we got married. So just to give you a trail there.
Anyway, I got to thinking that Rebbecca had two children in her womb. Two nations the L-rD told her. Two totally different men.
One was red and hairy
and the other
was smooth.
I've always loved studying genetics and still do.
So, whose side do you think Esau took after
and
whose side did Jacob take after?
Who passed down the hairy gene?
Issac or Rebekkah?
They both come from the same family line from Terah
And what is the meaning of recording this in the story? Smooth vs Hairy? What is the significance?
And what is the significance that Rebekkah used goat skins (not lamb) on Jacob to make Isaac think it was Esau?
It says he did not have hairy hands ( I will assume this means the whole arm), and neck, meaning he didn't have a beard.
Eliyahu was said to also be a hairy man in 2 kings 1
