Here at chapter 27 we learn that there are evil doings afoot. Isaac realizes that he is not long for this world, so he calls Esau into his tent and tells him that he will bless him with his birthright. However, before he can do that, he wants his son to cook him one final meal of venison. Remember; the only reason Isaac loves his son is because they both like venison.
This makes sense, I mean, it's not like you can give blessings on an empty stomach. So Esau leaves the tent and goes out to hunt deer. Meanwhile, Rebekah has been listening in on the conversation this whole time! The wheels of her diabolic mind begin to turn and she thinks up a wicked plan for how she can make a prince out of Jacob by throwing her other son under the bus. Remember folks, if you want to learn about family values, turn to the bible!
Of course, family values, according to most religious people, means disowning their own children if they're homosexual, not allowing teenagers to explore sex safely with contraceptives and then forcing them to keep children they can't afford when they have accident pregnancies, preventing loving same-sex couples from ever getting married, not allowing their suffering elders to die with dignity, keeping women in the kitchen where they belong, preventing children from ever being exposed to anything the parents find objectionable, and all sorts of other "valuable" practices.

| Ah, religious family values, stupidly staying the same for who-knows how long.
On another note, correct me if I'm wrong, but they're in a desert, right?
Since when have there been deer in deserts?? |

| Actually, when I was in Israel on a tour two years ago, we did see deer. They were more like savanna-dwelling ibex than the forest-dwelling whitetail deer you're probably thinking of...but there are deer out there in the Middle East. Particularly around the mountains where Jerusalem is, and north of the Sea of Galilee. |

| @tmowlee: You'd think that, wouldn't you? Who could possibly believe that tricking someone into a verbal agreement while they are in distress wouldn't be held up in court?
Oh wait, there aren't any courts yet. Oh wait, there aren't any laws of any kind yet. |

| That's right, no lawyers, no police, no judges; The "good old days" that so many questionable people long for. Yeah, what we got is FAR from perfect, but geez, would you want to live in a time where all your ancestral lands and properties can be stolen from you with a bowl of soup? Nowadays it take a full course meal. |
