January 12 reading

Re: Jacob and Esau. I must be missing some historical context. All I could think was: how hard is it to bless both children? Why just pick one? Plus, didn't Esau give up his rights as first born anyway?

Proverbs 3: 9-10. Hey, so here's another question? Why give God physical things? Like the best of your livestock to honor Him? Isn't that the opposite of what's going on in the Psalms to not focus on material things? Is this related to the modern concept of tithing? Where you sacrifice something tangible for God?
