Dear Guitarman:
"...what's 10% of nothing?" "NOTHING," you say? Jacob had NOTHING? What are the facts?
[1] "And Abraham was VERY RICH in cattle, in silver, and in gold" (Gen. 13:2). Had THREE HUNDRED and eighteen trained servants, (Gen. 14:14), Etc.
[2] "And Abraham gave ALL THAT HE HAD UNTO ISAAC" (Gen. 25:5)!
[3] And Isaac gave it to JACOB! "And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, behold, I have made him [JACOB] THY L-O-R-D, AND A-L-L HIS BRETHREN HAVE I GIVEN HIM FOR SERVANTS, and with CORN AND WINE I sustained him..." (Gen. 27:;37
[4] And YOU, "Guitarman," have not a clue as to what you are talking about, and maybe YOU need to "grow up" before you start demeaning other people about things you are totally ignorant of.
God be with you,
Ray
PS And don't call me "dude.".
