Rishon
- The birth of Yaakov and Eisav:
- Avraham fathered Yitzchak.
- Yitzchak’s age at time of marriage: Yitzchak was 40 years old when he married Rivka.
- Rivka’s pregnancy: Rivka was barren and Yitzchak prayed for her to have a child, and Rivka conceived. The fetuses were kicking inside of her womb and she went to search for G-d to find an answer to this phenomenon. G-d told her that she is carrying the heads of two nations, and the older one will serve the younger one.
- The birth: Rivka gave birth to twins. The first child came out a red head, full of hair, and he was named Eisav. The next child came out grasping the heal of the first son, and he was named Yaakov. Yitzchak was 60 years old at the time.
- The kids grow up: The lads grew older, and Eisav was a man of the field, a hunter, while Yaakov was a simple man who sat in the tent of study. Yitzchak loved Eisav, his hunter, while Rivka loved Yaakov.
- Eisav sells his birthright:
- Eisav came back from the field exhausted and encountered his brother Yaakov who had cooked a pot of lentils. Eisav asked to be fed the pot of lentils, as he is very exhausted. Yaakov agreed on condition that Eisav sell him the birthright.
- Eisav agreed to the deal, claiming the firstborn obligations can be deadly, and it is thus a worthwhile exchange. Eisav swore to Yaakov and in exchange Yaakov fed him bread and the lentils. Eisav despised the right of the firstborn.
- The famine:
- There was a famine in the land, and Yitzchak moved to the area of Avimelech.
- Hashem told Yitzchak not to descend to Egypt and to remain in the land that he is in.
- Hashem blesses Yitzchak with the blessings he gave Avraham, in merit of the fact that Avraham kept all of his Mitzvos.
