Genesis 25

Mostly genealogy.  Abraham marries someone else supposedly, and they have tons of kids (didn't get Abraham's blessing of multitude, though?).  Why did he marry again?  Sarah wasn't good enough for him?  He also wasn't very nice to his other sons, just gave them a few gifts and sent them away from Isaac.  Gee thanks, dad.  Then Abraham dies.  Isaac and Ishmael actually deal with the burial together.  Ishmael had lots of kids.  Isaac had Esau and Jacob.  Favoritism.  Then Esau sells his birthright for some lentils... that was smart.  That's why not to let emotions dominate.  There wasn't any other food in the house?
