A Difficult Decision for Isaac to Make

Esau, a fierce hunter; Jacob a Torah scholar Isaac had to make a difficult decision To blend Abraham’s kindness with Jacob the scholar or with Esau’s strength… Elderly Isaac's tears blinded him at length For he’d made an egregious mistake Choosing brute force over scholarship His frail body began to shake… * __________________________________ *See Genesis 27:33

Isaac was tricked over a trade from Esau with Jacob giving up his birthright over a Pot of Stew. How hungry was he to give that up Gershon? I think his hunger overruled his good judgement. Great story shared here my friend. Sadly everything went to the first born regardless of who had greater intellect in this case the intellect won...
