Jacob & Esau (Level 3 | 23)

We dive into the biblical story of Jacob and Esau, twin sons of Isaac and Rebekah. We explore God's choice of the younger Jacob over the firstborn Esau, and the significant generational effects this choice has. We trace the narrative of how Jacob, through cunning and deceit, first trades a bowl of stew for Esau's birthright and then tricks his father into giving him the blessing meant for Esau. Finally, we examine the consequences of these actions, leading to Esau's bitter hatred and murderous intent towards Jacob.
