Is Jacob a “mama’s boy?” It says in Gen. 25:27 he was a peaceful man living in tents and his mama, Rebecca, preferred Jacob over Esau. What we will find is Jacob is no mama’s boy. He is תָּם TAM H8535. In the Gesenius Hebrew Lexicon we get the picture of a complete man, a mature grown man, one who lacks nothing. This is no mama’s boy. He is a man you seemingly can count on do face his responsibilities, ready to go the extra mile.

And we read about Jacob being a man of the tents. That means he is attending to family business. He’s not out hunting and having fun like Esau. Jacob is one dedicated to the Bet Av (pronounced “Bate Av”) of the house of the father, the tents of Isaac. Once we put the Bible back into those days around 2000 B.C., into the culture of those days, we will then see that perhaps why Rebecca preferred Jacob over Esau is that Jacob was the one who would preserve the family and keep it together after Isaac died. Rebecca was an awesome woman and she seems to have a clear motive to deceive Isaac using Jacob – give Jacob the blessing of the first born to preserve the Bet Av, the family and keep it from Esau who was out all the time having fun hunting and not doing what he should be doing, being and acting like the first born.
I mentioned two other topics in this lesson. One is that Arabs are not descendants of Ishmael. Arabs are Polyethnic and come from a number of ancient peoples. One of those ancient peoples were around from 3000 B.C. to about 300 B.C. They existed at least 1000 years before Abraham was even born. Here’s a link to lesson 27 in this series. In this lesson you can learn about real Bible dating based upon real history and archaeology. In this lesson you’ll see that 2000 B.C. is an approximate time of Abraham’s birth.

I also mentioned a website that discusses this issue. Here’s a link to a website. Not the best but at least a beginning for those of you who want to study this further. Link - https://www.bible.ca/islam/islam-myths-arabs-descendants-of-ishmael.htm
Related to this is my paper that proves that Allah is NOT the God of the Bible. This is a false claim made even by some Evangelicals. Even the pop himself "hinted" at this in a speech he did. Here’s the link to the paper. Link - https://www.dropbox.com/s/qve66ohtl87gygb/The%20Bible%2C%20Adonai%2C%20Allah%20and%20the%20Quran%20-%20Who%20is%20Who.pdf?dl=0
Finally, we address the location of Mt. Sinai. Some say it is in southern Saudi Arabia on the west coast. If that is the case these so called scholars must move the Wilderness of Shur, which we read about in these verses in Genesis, from its precise Biblical location to the western shores of Saudi Arabia on the Gulf of Aqaba. These pseudo-scholars have changed the wording of the Bible so that it agrees to their belief that is held only as a remote theory by real Christian and religious Jewish scholars and archaeologists.
Who is this guy, Rev. Ferret? What's his background? Why should we take time to listen to him? Here's a link to check out his background - https://www.dropbox.com/s/ortnret3oxcicu4/BackgrndTeacher%20mar%2025%202020.pdf?dl=0
