Subject: Why Esau not got his blessing back?

Bible Note: WOS, Thanks for correcting my mistake of saying Isaac did not have any more blessing for Esau. I also stated that Isaac practically cursed Esau. I guess it is different point of view, i.e. half empty or half full glass. Going back to my original question... if I were siding with Jacob, it sounds all hunky-dory but if you are siding with Esau, the glass is half empty, not? For some reason I have been for the underdogs...

I am not sure if I can agree with your statement comparing the ceremony of Isaac's blessing of Jacob to today's business contract. Do you think Jacob could successfully defend his position and keep what he gained if Esau took him to today's court (or Moses' court)?

By the way your thoughts as a parent is well said and thanks for sharing, I cannot agree you more. I want to add though, if I may, if I were Isaac I would have punished both Rebakah and Jacob for cheating him. The Bible does not mention if Isaac followed up with that incident, does it?
