God Preserves Jacob (Part 2)

View All Lessons

Isaac blessed Jacob with the blessing that Abraham received of God (Genesis 28:4). This was the blessing that God said should come upon Jacob (Genesis 25:23). However, because Jacob received the blessing by deceit, he would not only cause turmoil in the family, but would also be deceived. Esau hated Jacob with such a deep hatred that he desired to kill his brother.
