people in the Bible: Jacob and Esau by ric gustafson
Jacob and Esau are born to Rebekah who is married to Isaac. The older son is Esau. The younger son is Jacob. Jacob tricks his brother twice. The first is over a bowl of stew and his birthright. The second time is when Isaac is dying. Isaac is blind now and blesses Jacob instead of Esau. Esau also gets a blessing from God. He is so mad at Jacob, he plots to kill him. Jacob is sent to Haran to find a wife.
