Jacob took the birthright and blessing of Esau. Unknown to him, he also took the curse of wandering in a strange land for 430 years. By the time Jacob finished his slavery, Esau was already settled as Edomite to the extent that they refused Israel from passing through their land.
The moment they turn back, God spoke to Moses about his death and in the wilderness, the Israelites began to die. I feel that God loves each and every one of us. Let's not defraud each other and we shall fulfill our purpose.
