In a nutshell here is what we are going to cover today.  Abraham is tested, Sarah Dies, Isaac gets married, Abraham dies, Isaac and Rebekah have twins of which Esau sells his birthright to Jacob for a meal.  I find Abraham’s obedience to God amazing.  God told Abraham to sacrifice his only son as a burnt offering.  Can you imagine what was going through this child’s mind when his daddy was about to plunge that knife into his chest?  Look at some of the between the lines things in this chapter.  See if you can find anything familiar and compare to what happened to Christ.  Now Sarah lived to be 127 years old and Abraham lived to be 175 and even though Abraham was old he married again and before he died he fathered 6 more sons.  Tell me God didn’t have His hand in this.  Abraham left all his wealth to Isaac but still gave his other children generous gifts.  Very interestingly it gives a short account about Ishmael’s sons and the last sentence of Ishmaels son reads: “And they lived in hostility towards all their brothers.”, and that is it there is no more.  Now Jacob and Esau well read for yourselves.  They seem to be typical brothers, or do they?
