Bible Question: Where did Jacob get the game and how come Easu did not know about it, or get it? |
Bible Answer: Dear Steve, Tell me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like you've interpreted "game" to mean something along the lines of Monopoly. Verse 5 spells out that Esau had left to hunt for game. And the story goes on that Jacob went out, hunted and killed some game, put on some goatskins to "feel" like Esau, and stole his older brother's blessing. In the meantime, Esau WAS out getting game. He would bring it back, prepare it, and then learn that his blessing had been unjustly given away. So the point is: "game" means wild animals fit for hunting. Sandman |
