“A Cunning Faith”

When Esau was forty years old, he took Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite to be his wife, and Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite,  and they made life bitter for Isaac and Rebekah.

 When Isaac was old and his eyes were dim so that he could not see, he called Esau his older son and said to him, “My son”; and he answered, “Here I am.”  He said, “Behold, I am old; I do not know the day of my death.  Now then, take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me,  and prepare for me delicious food, such as I love, and bring it to me so that I may eat, that my soul may bless you before I die.”...
