If it's about yerusha/double portion - then why would Eisav give that up? He seems into that kind of thing - ? if it's about spiritual matters - what exactly is it? Artscroll quotes it's about bringing Karbanos - which makes sense somewhat, but when did firstborns serve?! Historically, when did people bring Karbanos (and require someone to assist them) prior to Eigel (when, of course, Kohanim replaced the role of bechor - ?) And what about the Bracha; how do we know that a firstborn gets a bracha and not the next in line? What’s the source for that? And Why does Yitzchak only have one Bracha in him - to grant? Also, why does Yaakov say “you deceived” me twice (B’Shlama the 2nd time because there was some real deception involved) when Esav sold bechora straight up (“Michra KaYom”) - ? [Maybe it just means you outwitted me].jake lassonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16213011522326136813noreply@blogger.com
