Halfway mark!

- I think I'm starting to get an inkling of why the dispute over whether Ishmael or Isaac was the near-miss sacrificial victim is important: it's really a dispute over who's the first-born son and thus the rightful heir of Abraham. (Got a lift from a Uniting Church minister this evening who mentioned that many of these stories are also told in the Koran - must investigate.)

- Where is Shur? Is that Syria? (But then there are mentions of Syrians elsewhere, so I guess not.)

- Esau's hairiness reminds me of Enkidu. For no really very good reason. Moving swiftly on.

- I wonder if the story of the pottage recounts an actual business deal.

Oh, I don't mind. It's nice knowing there's an actual answer, for a change. :) 'Sides which, I tangled up SF and LA, just like I tangle up lemons and onions (now there's a good one, eh).
