Divine Timing. Absolutely, you are aware. Not time then. Time is now.
Esau sold his birthright for a bowl of Soup, the material world will be replaced, it's not that hard to go without food for a period, the body can get food from other sources, Ok so you lose a couple of pounds, Daniel fasted for a long period, the sent Malakh was detained dealing with something, but he got there in time. G-d is good!
RACHAEL was a good match for ESAU for the same reason that Chavah was a good match for Adam. Through their LOVING of their neighbor and maker,they soften the hard HEART and win them over to the SPIRITUAL NATURE!
@@claywithers523 Exactly. Nor is it that hard to go to another tent in camp to find food if Esau was starving for food. Torah states that "and Esau despised the birthright" (Gen 25:34). Esau was having issues with the birthright if he despised it.
The birthright of the first born is serving God, "Sanctify to Me every firstborn, every one that opens the womb among the children of Israel among man and among animals; it is Mine.". (Ex 13:2)
@@Jorge-mg7or Had he asked, G-d would have given him food, did He not give the Israelites manna in the wilderness. G-d is surely patient!
This series of talks is so incredible. Always want more of a good thing like this. Thank you for sharing them with us.

Excellent
Thank you for the teaching
Thank you
Thank you.
This is very intriguing
God later says 'Jacob I loved and Esau I hated'
I am the 7th child and I saw that opposition all my life. Every head is a world in itself. Essau had his ideas and these ideas were different than Jacob's. The whole world is going through the same opposition in all subjects.
Evil is not a noun, it’s an action, it’s a verb. Good is not a noun, it’s an action and a verb. Godliness is not a noun, it’s an activity and a verb. Only in Hellenic/ Christian thought seething in Platonic ideals can these be nouns, and so we have the difference between the Hebrew and Hellenic mindsets as they are demonstrated, and taught.
And so “Force” is the dominant expression of Christianity, while “Power” is the preferred path of the Jew. This story demonstrates the conflict between Force and Power. True transformations cannot be forced from the outside or even sought without ruining them...they must be allowed to emerge from internal growth and power working through the spirit of the Most High.
Baruch L’Chaim
Why are those nouns (good, evil, Godliness) associated with force, Platonism, Hellenic, Christian, and when seen as verbs, associated with power and the Hebrew mindset? Can you make what you said a little more understandable for me? Thanks.
Interesting perspective.
I don't think it's "force" as much as "passion" Christians are passionate about God and his redemptive plan.Jews on the other hand are more about balance and reason but they lack the passion to make their plans reality while Christians are so passionate that they splinter and divide.I think there Is a learning possibility for both sides.
As a former Christian, I quite empathize with this issue. Esau is considered the father of Christianity. When I was in the church, I really thought that as long as we all believed in the Son of God, the world would definitely become better. But as my time in the church got longer, I found that some people who believe in Christ have no better character than before (of course there are many people who change their lives because of Christianity). At that time, I began to doubt my own beliefs. Is "faith" really enough? Is superficial holiness really enough? Just like Esau said by the rabbi. Then by the grace of the Holy Lo-d, I started to get in touch with Judaism. To make this world perfect, you really have to change from the inside like Jacob. One time faith and one religious ceremony are far from enough. It is necessary to practice the laws of the Holy Lord at all times and change little by little so that this world will become perfect and meet the expectations of the Lo-d.
@Jeffrey Rutt Ok, respect your thought. Esau is also the father of Rome.
@Jeffrey Rutt you analyzed this topic from a physical view, and I respect that. But I view this stuff in a more spiritual way, I recognize Esau as an incarnation of that the world could be perfect in a quite easy way, which is very similar to the teaching of Christianity or the western ideology, just like what the rabbi said in the video. In addition, I also view Ishmael as an incarnation of later Islam. I think we shall not read holy books only in one way, but also view them in different dimensions.
@Jeffrey Rutt Based on what I learned of Judaism, there are 56 levels of understanding the G-d. (If I am wrong, please point out)
As Ribbi Friedman so beautifully explained more than once is that Many people are only trying to get into heaven instead of a true desire ( from within us) to bring G-d/ heaven down to earth .. That is why moving from islam to christianity now iam reading and study the bible and gospels as i listen to Rabbi Friedman and other wise teachers to evolve as a human soul into a more divine soul by G-ds Grace...
You are way off dude! Esau would be hairy and small in numbers. He mixed with foreign nations on purpose. Jacob kept the seedline of Issac. In Issac thy seed shall be called!
Is it safe to infer the clans of Esau wandered to Ireland? Since the whole clan thing is up by there? Like banished far from Israel? And what of redemption for Ishmael and his descendants? There was alleged peace at Abraham's funeral? So much too learn Rabbi Friedman... Thank you
To my understanding the story is a metaphor about 2 ways of achieving redemption!
There are nany layers of meaning in the Torah. G-d is not simple, neither is His Torah. More to discover for those who choose to learn.
Jacob disguising as Esau to get the blessing doesn't seem like patience to me. He is forcing it. Con men succeed in the most part by taking short cuts to get what the desire. Esau in my opinion was waiting for the right time for Issac to bless him.
You're attributing Jacob with being a 'con man'? That's mind boggling. You see what you want to see rather than what G-d is sharing in His Torah. Which Rabbi Manis Friedman is teaching. A shame.
But did G-d not hate Esau? I think I read that in the Tanak that Esau wept with bitter tears but G-d hated him.
G-d 'hate' one of His chosen? No. We all have own unique paths to travel, with lessons to learn for our refinement to G-dliness. Some of it is seemingly obvious, some is hidden. Our paths, lessons, mistakes that bring us back to G-d after repentance, all contribute towards the perfection of the world for G-d. None of this is about us. Its about Him.
@@613YY Yes, but the Tanakh was very clear that G-d hated Esau.
I didn't quite understand the answer...
Some rabbi teaching ESAY decedents are winning still but referring to darkness in the world
But saying we are heading towards redemption and in the end darkness will disappear and Ligth will be here
So is this the opposition DARKNESS LIGTH ? But then if ESAy model was let’s doit together his intentions were positive ?You are saying he will be redeemed as well but admit Jacob is right ?
Darkness won't simply disappear. It will be redeemed with light. In that redemption, it will be elevated to a level higher than that which was originally light.
Esau will be redeemed, as will all judged by G-d to be righteous. As everyone who does teshuva (repentance though actually return to G-d), does. Things like who was right or wrong will not matter after the coming of Moshiach and the Redemption of souls. That's a human focus. We will elevate to a higher, more G-dly level.
What the rabbi is saying taking a bad bread covering it with peanut butter what if the bad bread corrupt the peanut butter why not eat the right way
Yes in the end Babylon or the western world grees and is saved
Thats what we all wish for, that everyone can be saved because who would want to see the wrath of GOD on anybody even Esau! But GOD is not gonna sit back and watch wickedness be done to no group of people for personal gain. The time of the wicked fades as the grass.
Jews aren't part of that 'we' thanks. We are part of tge western world since we live in the diaspira. Doing what G-d needs is our mission. Wickedness won't simply fade. It will be redeemed to be G-dliness. That involves positive action. Whole different perspective.
Jacob should just gave Esau soup..esau really hungry!!!
I was not dying of hunger.
Obviously there was a reason he didn't G-d had a purpose.
Looks like I have got some Esau and Jacob in me🤔
Where did the 400 men come from with Esau to lay down their lives to fight Jacob?
Only a great leader has 400 men followers .Magic number 40 x 10
Magic?
We are the lineage if Jacob. Think that number exceeds 400. Even back then.
There are many 'leaders' who have a large following. That doesn't attest to doing G-d's will. Doing G-d's will, having a positive effect on this wotld, does. Now, understanding G-d's will is the area for confusion. That's where the Torah of truth, G-d's truth, the only truth, comes in. And the expanded learning, from G-d, from rabbis like Rabbi Friedman
The contention was from whom the seed of the woman will crush the head of the serpent.
For Esau is the end of the world 🌎 💣💣💣💥💥💥 and Jacob is the beginning of that which followith!!
2 Esdras 6:9
That just means his ways! You probably do not even know who Esau is?
If you want to ignore the FACTS by Torah & Science...be my guest.
There is a reason why Esau held opposite physicality to Jacob !!! And why HaShem would hate someone from the womb !! And why a mother would hate her child !! And why the womb contained Two Separate Nations !! And why via COERCION HaShem still backed Jacob.
It because they did not both come from Isaac !!!
And not as Judaism promulgated.
It is extremely consistant with females within scripture. And pre empted in Abraham & Ishmael.
The Angel wrestling Jacob is an attempt to delay him. It is most likely this was Esau's protective angel. It parallels his wrestle out of the womb.
Use your brains. Stop toeing the line of promulgated religion !!
@m.dalma. monika totally irrelevant to establishing patriarchal bloodline. But..two nations IN THE WOMB..does establish two separate father's. Just face facts...either Rebecca was raped or was a naughty girl. Either way...ALL EVIDENCE is much much stronger to two separate father's than it is for them both being from Isaac. And if you look at the parallel between Isaac & Esau and Abram & Ishmael....ITS PROVEN. Stop believing in promulgated exaltation found in Judaism.
@m.dalma. monika even though what you say does exist. It is rare. Whilst twins from two separate father's is common.
We are not looking at any absolutes. Because scripture does not supply the absolute.
What we are looking at is a chain of evidence.
I have covered more in a previous comment here.
We are looking at what is actually stated, the nature behind the scripture & an explaination making far greater reason than the one taught by mainstream theology.
Answers of substance need to be met..
What sort of a mother hates one child whilst loving the other ?
Why does HaShem step out of character & hate from the womb ?
Why does HaShem permit such deceipt from Jacob & again with Rebecca ?
What significance has the physical differences ?
Can a legal claim of inheritance before the inheritance given be proper ?
Can a legal contract be void of witness & formed under coercion ?
Why is there so much deception around Rebecca in ALL MATTERS ?
It is always difficult learning that teachings held for so long are wrong. Sort of like finding out one is adopted on their 40th birthday.
Two Nations are " formed " in the womb is fine. But scripture doesn't say this !! It says two nations are IN THE WOMB.
Scripture in the Hebrew has very specific purpose.
Your anger and hostility is unnecessary.
@@613YY
It is not anger nor hostility. It is passion in order to correct lies
EsU still the first born

Meaning what?
If you are superimposing divine wisdom on stupid acts of sons of a sheep herder, what do you think that wisdom has not helped you to reconcile with the two new versions of your tradition. Neither you seem to have reconciled with them nor have they reconciled you. All three of you consist of 55 percent of mankind, whereas you alone account to 0.2 percent. What use was all that wisdom?
'Two versions of our tradition'? Think you have Jews co fused wuth others. We have one Torah No versions. No modernizing. No modifications.
It's not simply 'tradition' either. That is trivializing what is the base and foundation of Judaism. Torah is G-d. Verbally transmittedcto Moses to be transcribed for us to know Him. It is truth. The only truth.
I saw Esaw sitting on a seesaw .
LMAO....😆🤣🤣 that was HALARIOUS!
Manis Freidman
One of the Few examples of jewish pride overlooking truth.
They were " Superfecundation" twins. Jacob was from Isaac. Esau was from a caananite.
This is extremely common. Especially among women who think they are baren. The description of their appearence is 💯% Superfecundation twins. Twins by two separate father's.
💯% aligns with Rebecca's history & background.
Only jewish pride in ignoring impurity promulgated their story.
HaShem did NOT hate him from the womb before he himself could show " deed". And the direct statement from the angel of having " two nations" in the womb is 100% evidence of Israel vs Caananite.
There is no way in hell Esau could legally sell his inheritance under coercion. Nor before it was given him.
Rebecca knew. She hated Esau because only the woman knows. And Esau is born against HaShem's promise. And thus why Rebecca agrees to " bare the whole iniquity" of Jacobs trickery.
All glory to HaShem. And the love of Israel.
But...call a spade a spade.
@J Fl ...you are ignorant. Yes it is more common than you think. And the further one goes back in time the more common it is. But this is besides the point. Before you comment with ignorance...try research. The scriptural description of their physical differences is twins by two separate father's 101.
@BeeBaBird ...yes it is. 100% supported. Instead of desire to adhere to what you want to hear. Try reading comments carefully then checking against Torah. You will be most surprised to see that what I have said has MUCH more evidence to it than what is promulgated !!
Jacob & Rebecca lied & tricked Esau out of his inheritance blessing from Isaac. It is admitted in scripture. And law stipulates that " the soup deal " in explaination is just plain B.S in order to hide a dirty little secret.
And where did this fan fiction originate?
@@molivson
Because the descript from scripture describes superfecandation twins perfectly. Also it fits scripture plot like a glove. Why would God hate him ? And why would rebecca cheat him out of his inheritance ? Only the woman knows who the father is !
Utter nonsense!
