In verse 7, though, Esau notices something: "Jacob had obeyed their father." Make no mistake; Jacob was a liar, a cheat, and a thief. But he was also obedient. Esau wasn't a terrible person; he was just impulsive and did whatever he wanted. He too was obedient, but only to his own desires.
In God's eyes, submission to those in authority is more important than just about anything else.
