Jacob and Esau have this strange little passage in Genesis where the birth-right is sold for something as insignificant as a bowl of stew. It’s got all the hallmarks of a family ‘in-joke’ and yet, this odd little conversation of two young men handing over birth-rights like a candy bar will echo down thought Jacob and Esau’s story. This simple papercraft captures the moment it happens.
NOTE: Graphics have been updated!
To make this craft, you will need the 1-page template printout, scissors, and a craft knife.
If you want a ‘neater’ looking craft, then you may want a piece of acetate too!
Cut out the two pieces and use a craft knife to remove the two small white rectangles.
If you are using acetate, trace the long thin piece with a bowl on it onto acetate, cut the bowl out and fix it onto in the middle.
Thread the bowl piece from the back though the hole in Jacob and back through the hole in Esau.
Slide the tab each way to hand the bowl of food back and forth.
