She spoke to g-d and asked why deeply troubled

She didn’t have 1 baby boy but she had 2 baby boys.

Esau liked to hunt and when he was born he was covered in red hair all over

Yakov was the good one and loved to study.

One day Yakov was cooking some lentil stew

Esav was really hunger when he came back from hunting.

Esav asked Yakov if he could have some lentil stew .

Because apparently he was dying of hunger)

Yakov made a deal with Esav that he would give him his birth right and he would give him some lentil stew.

The deal was done and now Jacob had Esav’s birthright.

Isaac was dying and wanting his favourite son to be blessed.

Rivkah told Yakov to do the blessing instead of Esua

Esav was hairy and Yakov was not.

Rivkah had a plan to turn Yakov into Esav
