|
|The original [[Hebrew]] clearly says "seventy and five." The "threescore and fifteen" notation is Elizabethan [[English]] and derives partly from Britain's Celtic heritage. Celtic numbers had a base of twenty; this persists in more pronounced form in the [[French]] language. For example, the French word for "eighty" is ''quatre-vingts'', or literally, "fourscore."

|And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.

|There is actually little Scriptural warrant to assume, from this verse, that the usual game meat that Esau served to Isaac was venison. The "venison" idea could be an Elizabethan interpolation, because [[deer]] and especially the animal called "elk" in [[Europe]] (and [[moose]] in [[North America]]) were the most common game animal in [[England]].
