Read Genesis 27:29-40 and get back to me.

Your assumptions are based on modern ideas, not historical Jewish custom.

I will gladly accept two thousand years of Church teaching over the modern-day assumptions of those who despise the Blessed Mother because Catholics love her.

Ha ha ha. Boy do you have problems with assumptions, especially the last one. I have never in my life seen or heard anyone despise the mother of Jesus (and God, since she's the only mother he's ever had) because Catholics love her. To say this borders on lunacy.
