Esau
A
New York State woman unknowingly allowed her family jewels to be sold for 10
cents at a friend's garage sale. It happened after she took the jewels out of a
bank safety deposit box to wear to a wedding. The bank was closed when she got
home
so she put the jewels in an old shaving case and stuffed it in another
box. In time
she forgot about the jewels
and later she gave the shaving case
to a friend who was collecting items for a garage sale. By the time the woman
realized what she had done
the precious gems had been sold to an unknown buyer
for a dime. In a sense
her pain is similar to Esau's. He too discovered what
it's like to realize suddenly that he had lost something of great value.
