revelant to the emphasis we wanted for this particular study of Hebrews. Our emphasis was our daily living in Christ.
[they have been referred to throughout this study as these sections impinged on the general study]

===============================
*Genesis 25:31 Note: The "birthright" had three elements:
(1) Until the establishment of the Aaronic priesthood the head of the family exercised priestly rights.
(2) The Abrahamic family held the Edenic promise of the Satan- Bruiser (Gen. 3. 15)- Abel, Seth, Shem, Abraham, Isaac, Esau.
(3) Esau, as the firstborn, was in the direct line of the Abrahamic promise of the Earth-Blesser (Gen. 12. 3). For all that was revealed, in Esau might have been fulfilled those two great Messianic promises. This birthright Esau sold for a momentary fleshly gratification. Jacob's conception of the birthright at that time was, doubtless, carnal and inadequate, but his desire for it evidenced true faith… C. I. Scofield.
