Jacob and Esau were very different brothers. From Jacob will come the tribes of Israel, and from Esau those of Edom.
lyrics
Brothers born together; brothers grow apart;
One has skin tough as leather; the other works in a yard
One would sell his birthright; one would take it away
Isaac having poor eyesight; Jacob stole the blessing one day.
(chorus)
Years apart will heal the anger;
in different lands you both will prosper;
Though Jacob for a time you'll be a servant;
when you return Esau will not treat you as
a stranger; not as a stranger
Isaac favored the older; Rebbecca the younger;
Jacob I have loved; (God said) Esau I have hated;
Esau will birth Edom; Jacob the tribes of Israel;
One will give us trouble; the other will save us from hell.
(chorus)
