Divided from the Womb (Jacob & Esau)

The account of the birth and growth of Isaac's sons Jacob and Esau is now given in the inspired record (Vs. 20-34). This forms an important foundation to understanding events that will transpire later, especially in relation to the life of Jacob who will soon be the focus of the record. There are important lessons we can learn by studying the contrast between Jacob and Esau as revealed in this account of the early part of their life.
