Excellent comments, Paula.  I’ll have to remember that flying spaghetti monster analogy!  Good going!!  The thing that has slipped Mr. Slick up is that he has nothing in the passage to link the Jewish practice of primogeniture to while I have much in the context of both chapters 1 & 2 to link the prohibition with deception.  The fact that he can’t see his double standard shows a “strong possibility” that he has approached this topic by viewing it through the eye glasses of patriarchy.
