00:38:02.199 --> 00:38:07.840
But<00:38:02.360><c> at</c><00:38:02.559><c> the</c><00:38:02.639><c> top</c><00:38:02.739><c> of</c><00:38:02.900><c> this</c><00:38:03.059><c> hill</c><00:38:03.860><c> was</c><00:38:04.579><c> this</c><00:38:05.260><c> high</c><00:38:05.780><c> place</c><00:38:06.360><c> of</c><00:38:06.840><c> worship.</c>

00:38:08.980 --> 00:38:11.840
And<00:38:09.219><c> there</c><00:38:09.500><c> they</c><00:38:09.619><c> were</c><00:38:09.820><c> doing</c><00:38:10.139><c> interesting</c><00:38:10.739><c> things.</c>

00:38:13.480 --> 00:38:17.460
So<00:38:14.099><c> he</c><00:38:14.219><c> went</c><00:38:14.400><c> the</c><00:38:14.619><c> once</c><00:38:15.079><c> and</c><00:38:15.480><c> he</c><00:38:15.599><c> went</c><00:38:15.739><c> again</c><00:38:16.260><c> and</c><00:38:16.639><c> he</c><00:38:16.780><c> went</c><00:38:16.920><c> again</c>

00:38:17.460 --> 00:38:19.139

00:38:19.400 --> 00:38:25.119
A<00:38:19.780><c> profane</c><00:38:20.460><c> person</c><00:38:21.380><c> or</c><00:38:21.940><c> a</c><00:38:22.699><c> fornicator</c><00:38:23.679><c> such</c><00:38:24.280><c> as</c><00:38:24.480><c> Esau</c>

00:38:31.300 --> 00:38:33.400
It's<00:38:31.480><c> a</c><00:38:31.619><c> sad</c><00:38:31.780><c> story,</c><00:38:32.199><c> brothers</c><00:38:32.300><c> and</c><00:38:32.480><c> sisters.</c>

00:38:33.800 --> 00:38:37.679
And<00:38:34.059><c> you</c><00:38:34.820><c> doubtless</c><00:38:35.340><c> have</c><00:38:35.639><c> blamed</c><00:38:35.980><c> Jacob</c><00:38:36.400><c> all</c><00:38:36.800><c> these</c><00:38:37.099><c> years</c>

Exhortation<00:38:54.320><c> from</c><00:38:54.760><c> Esau?</c>

00:38:56.199 --> 00:38:57.139
Yes.
