Summary
I am the wrong person to write this essay. I should have recognized this earlier and suggested another author. I did not. Drafting what follows, I became keenly aware that exploring the ethical aspects of the Jacob narrative necessitates a deeper and probably more personal comprehension of marginalization than I have from my current experience.
