God said that Rebekah's sons, Jacob and Esau, wouldn't just be two people, but two different KINDS of people. Brothers, but incompatible. ( #genesis 25:23)

I've heard it said there are two kinds of people in the world: those who learn from others' mistakes and those who have to make their own. Esau is a third type: those who don't learn from anyone's mistakes.
