Day 13: Esau Sells His Birthright (2025)

The Great Adventure Catholic Bible uses the Revised Standard Version – Second Catholic Edition and integrates The Great Adventure Bible Timeline Learning System. This system includes color-coded timelines, articles summarizing each period of salvation history, key event call-outs, detailed charts, and newly designed full-color maps. The Bible also features the words of Jesus printed in red and provides a comprehensive overview of important characters, key events, geography, and major covenants. It is designed to make the complexity of reading the Bible simple by giving a big picture of salvation history and showing how everything ties together.

The Revised Standard Version, Second Catholic Edition (RSV-2CE) is an English translation of the Bible that includes the deuterocanonical books of the Old Testament. It was first published in 1966 and revised in 2006 to conform to the Vatican document *Liturgiam authenticam*. This edition is known for its formal equivalence, providing a word-for-word translation that safeguards literal fidelity. It is widely used by Catholic scholars and theologians and is approved for liturgical use in certain Catholic parishes. The RSV-2CE is notable for its conservative approach to translation, retaining the beauty and readability of the original RSV while making minor revisions to archaic language.
