They do things that do not seem to hurt them at first, and then after a while when it does hurt them, they try to stop and the wrong thing has gotten a hold on them and they can not get away. You know boys begin to smoke cigarettes because they see bigger boys smoking them, and at first they can not feel that it is hurting their bodies any, but all the time the poison is going into his whole body, and when he grows older and sees how it is making him sick, he thinks he will

Esau had something very wonderful, but he did not care much for it. This wonderful gift was called a birthright.
