An ApplicationGE 25:32 would've maybe been fair logic if it were true. Since he was walking around he was not so close to death, rather he was being flippant with a very important matter. May we be careful to treat important things as important and unimportant things as unimportant, which is a quality of discernment (PR 10:13, 14:6, 16:21) and wisdom (PR 4:7, 9:10).

Connect the DotsGE 25:21 was 19-20 years after GE 25:20, because of GE 25:26. / Easu was sometimes referred to as Edom (GE 36:1-2). We'll be reminded of this story in HOS 12:3, and Paul will write about it in ROM 9:10-15 (with quote from MAL 1:2-5).
