Welcome to part twenty five in this series of videos in which I take the advice of all of those Christian fundamentalists and read my bible - literally

You see if you are going to believe in the literal "truth" of the bible and take it literally then literally is the only way that you can read it.

In this episode Abraham gets married again and has a pile of kids to his new wife, all while in his hundreds but his innings can't go on for ever and eventually he kicks the bucket

We also get to hear about Ishmaels kids and how Ishmael also lives to a grand old age and finally we come to Isaac's brood, namely Jacob and Esau, the terrible twins

As with so many biblical siblings, one is a mighty hunter and the other is a nerd and neither get on with the other and dastardly deeds do transpire such as in this episode where seeing and opportunity, Jacob convinces Esau to sell his birth right for a bowl of lentil soup.

We are finally half way through!
