Genesis 27:1-29:20

It is interesting that Jacob and his mother feel the need to trick his father into giving him the birthright blessing. Recall from earlier readings the Esau had already sold his brother the birthright when he was hungry Genesis 25:31-33. Also recall that God has already promised this to Jacob (Genesis 25:23). Sometimes it is hard for people to remember that God's plans will be accomplished without their help. This was also the case when Sarai gave Hagar to Abram to bear a child and when Abram told a half truth about Sarai being his sister, and when Isaac tells Abimelech that Rebekah is his sister.
