it was the word At last they had two sons, and they called their elder brother Esau and the younger Jacob.
As they grew older, their character and behavior changed drastically.
Genesis 25:27 says, “Esau, a accustomed hunter, became a man of the field, and Jacob
He was a quiet man, and he dwelt in tents.” As you can see here, Esau was masculine.

All. In other words, he missed many opportunities to receive his parents' education because of it.
He was greatly influenced by his wonderful father, Isaac, and by his godly mother, Rebekah.
I became a person who was not raised.
He is just like that when looking at marriage cases. In Genesis 26:34-35, "Esau was forty years old.
He took as wives Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basmath the daughter of Elon the Hittite.
They became a grieving for Isaac and Rebekah.” Esau was a Gentile at once.

What profit is the birthright to me?” (Genesis 25:32) was his attitude.
What is the birthright's cause? Where are all of God's promises! Just eat and be full!
This was the person of Esau.
Therefore, according to Hebrews 12:16, “Anyone who commits a fornicator among you,
Fear that there is no one who is in vain like Esau, who sold his birthright for his sake.”

(Gen. 47:9).
Moreover, the two brothers, Jacob and Esau, became enemies of each other. Esau kills Jacob

Genesis 27:1-4 says, "When Isaac was old, his eyes were dark and he could not see, and he
He called and said, "Take a bow and go to the field to hunt for me, the star of my delight.
Make beauty and bring it to me to eat, so that I can bless you with all my heart before I die.
Let him do it.” This can only be said to be Isaac's great mistake.
Isaac also said in the words of God's prophecy, "Two peoples are in your womb. Two peoples are yours.
I will divide from the womb. One people will be stronger than the other, and the older will overcome the younger.
I will serve you.” He would not have known that.
They would not have tried to bless Esau so simply.
In the old patriarchal era, the father who became a patriarch was a priest in the household and
Chunking was a blessing from God (Numbers 6:27).
As a priest in God's place, he should have asked God.

Following the customs of Shang, he tried to solve important matters.
Genesis 27:33 says, "Isaac trembled exceedingly great and said, "Therefore, eat the
Who is it that brought me... he will surely be blessed."
What was the cause of Isaac's trembling and fear?
It was obviously not because of Esau's fear, but rather the will of God.
I know that he trembled like that because he was afraid of his mistake that almost broke the law.
If Isaac had waited more carefully for God's will, then Jacob and Esau would
He may have avoided the unfortunate incident of becoming an enemy until now.
Also, Rebekah's mistake is huge. First, he favored Jacob (25:28). of course my son
Rebekah, who remembers the prophecy at the time of conception, gave especially to Jacob.
It was only natural that he became interested in him, but he was more concerned about Jacob.
It is natural to have a Sim, but it is the mother who favored only Jacob.
It cannot be a great tragedy as And that's not the only mistake Rebekah made. Jacob
It was the mother's wrong plan that deceived her father (Gen. 27:5-17).
Trying to fulfill God's holy promises by human cunning is unforgivable.
it was nothing God's promise must be God's good way to fulfill it
He must have believed and waited patiently (Hebrews 10:36).
Failing to do so, the Rivbles finally did something and lost their beloved son because of it.
Lee had to evacuate.
According to Genesis 27:44, "For a few days, until your brother's wrath is satisfied"
While trying to escape, he fled to the house of Laban, his brother Haran, but died.
In fact, he had to evacuate for 20 years instead of a few days.
In the Bible, Rebekah's name did not appear again after that. In the latter days Jacob sleeps
When she returned to her hometown, her mother was not there (Gen. 35:27-29).
Presumably, Rebekah died without seeing the face of her beloved son again.
This is almost clear. If so, I think it was God's discipline that Rebekah received.
How much trouble did Jacob, who followed the wrong way, suffer because of it? first chapter
Contrary to his aptitude, he loved to live in the village, and he spent his whole life tending sheep in the fields.
Not only did I become a [wild person] who had to live, but I also received threats to my life.
It was a struggle to live. The Bible gives a special account of Jacob's suffering.
