Isaac, Esau and Jacob

(Continued from Abraham)

Although the BOYS' LIFE series STORIES FROM THE BIBLE started in September 1952, it took until September 1957 before it finally covered the story of Isaac and his 2 sons, Esau and Jacob (a full 5 years in).  Had Dino DeLaurentis been able to continue his BIBLE film series as he originally intended, this story no doubt would have opened the 2nd film.

I note that it took until the 4th version (in 1976) before they covered the resolution of the story, the reconcilliation of the 2 brothers.
