[additional-authors]
December 2, 2016

I
Enter Esau and
Jacob. Kicking each other’s
ass on the way out.

II
A miracle in
Philistine. Isaac grows more
crops than the locals.

III
Philistines protest
the wells Isaac digs. Here comes
real estate law.

IV
Abimelech comes
with peace. God comes to bless. A
good day for Isaac.

V
Poor blind Isaac. Can’t
tell his two sons apart. Tricked
by a hairy arm.

VI
Go and get a wife
Jacob, says mom. Escape from
the wrath of Esau.

VII
If brothers were judged
based on how many wives they
had. Esau would win.
