"Esau, you might remember, sold his birthright to Jacob for a bowl of red stew. "

Can anyone point me to this in The Bible?

There are a lot of unusual HISTORICAL items like this in The Bible that I never heard of before. That seems pretty specific.

“Recently, a team excavating in Israel’s Timna Valley...” That name Timna caught my eye. IIRC, Juges 14:1 Samson went down to the town of Timnath and got one of his Phillistine wives. Probably the same area. The names Timnah and Timnath come up in numerous passages of scripture.

It's all been a big misunderstanding. God's got this. It's very simple how everyone will be able to get along soon, no finger pointing or I told you sos.

Psalms 133

1 A Song of degrees of David. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

These things take time. Then everyone will realize that Rebecca actually made the very first Purim costume, dressing up Jacob in Esav's Sunday best.

Jacob received the blessing of the dew of heaven. Esav thought (like every one else down the line) that he got ripped off, but his blessing involved the dew of heaven from above.

Attention to detail. I'm a big fan.
