70 - Genesis 50 & Yasher 56:23-57:5 - Esau Died Preventing Jacob's Burial

Few have ever heard about how Jacob’s twin brother Esau died. I think of Jacob as the man of the spirit and Esau as a total man of the flesh; and find it interesting that Esau died shortly after Jacob. Here is why.

The actual death and burial of Jacob (147) is recorded in the last chapter of Genesis (Genesis 50); but it is hardly anything more that an outline for what happened at that time in the history of Yehovah’s people. Here is yet another case where the book of Yasher gives “the rest of the story.”
