Nte mbufo okotde Genesis 28, mbufo emekeme ndibup idem fo ŋkpɔ emi anamade ifik-ukpep emiedi nsasana ɔnɔ Jacob. Nso ŋkpɔ ikitibe ye enye ke ini oro? Didie ke enye ekekeme edikere ŋkpɔ?

Edieke Jacob ye Esau ekemede editiŋ-ikɔ nnɔ nnyin mfin emi, nso ŋkpɔ ke mmɔ ekpekeme nditiŋ ndiŋwam nnyin kini eneni odude ke ufɔkemana nnyin?
