I read Hebrew but can only understand about 20%. I was wondering if my soul can understand what i am saying even if i can't

It seems as if there is a parallel between Israel losing his sight and blessing the younger son, and Yitzak not recognizing Esau and Yakov, bestowing the blessing on the younger child.
Another similarity is Yishmael, the elder of Abraham's, going to Egypt and establishing a family, and Joseph being the older of Rachel' and prospering after hardship
