I always laugh at the description of Esau as 'an hairy man.'

Also the way the normally polite KJV English goes on about 'everyone that pisseth against the wall.' I mean, the begetting was at least dignified, for the most part, but they had yet to develop washrooms in the times of the Kings and Chronicles.

Yeah, Esau being absurdly hairy is one of my favorites.

lol i'm only really familiar with the NIV so i might not get the pleasure of that particular passage.

@Pikachu It certainly sounds funnier in the old KJV. Also before Lazarus was raised from the dead, Martha said, 'He stinketh.'
