Given by Greg Sargent
July 23, 2022

There are many lessons that can be gleaned from the story of Esau selling his birthright plus missing out on his blessing.

God promised Abram that if he obeyed, He would cause many nations and kings to come from his lineage. This birthright promise was passed down to Isaac, Jacob and eventually, the sons of Joseph.
