Another Interpretation

Esau and Jacob were twin brothers, according to the scripture.
The account suggests that these two men did not have a good relationship.
We must have a realistic view of the situation to understand it.
Esau went to work in the field, and Jacob stayed home and cooked a meal.
When Esau went back home, he was exhausted and hungry.
Jacob could have offered his brother a free serving of the pottage.
A kind person would have done that for his or her sibling or even a stranger.

Esau had a weakness; he did not seriously consider spiritual matters.
Jacob sought the opportunity to take advantage of his brother’s weakness.
He cunningly traded a bowl of lentil stew for Esau’s birthright.
Moreover, Jacob tricked his blind father into thinking he was Esau.
The surprising thing is that Isaac’s wife was in league with Jacob.
You can fool a human being, but you certainly cannot fool God.
So did God really agree with Jacob and his mother to deceive Isaac?

Christians do not regard the manipulative actions of Jacob as wrong.
There is no evidence that Esau really wanted to lose his birthright.
Why did he become angry when he found out what Jacob did?
Perhaps Esau thought Jacob was not serious about the arrangement.
If you are aware of the weakness of a fellow believer, what should you do?
Should you take advantage of the person, or should you help the person?
