BEAM channel had an early Advent presentation on biblical history, from Abraham to Moses. What strikes one is that human frailties have been around since then, but of course. Abraham's son Isaac passed his birthright erroneously not to elder son Esau as he planned, but to his younger son Jacob in connivance with Isaac's wife. Then, intergenerationally, Jacob favored his young son Joseph among the brood of 12. Of course, the elder brothers ganged up on him.
Familial stories like these are still so familiar; hence the need for mediation.
