Lesson 19~ A division in the family

Genesis 27

Last week, we saw where Jacob tricked Isaac into giving his older brother, Esau's inheritance and blessing. This angered Esau so much that he talked of killing Jacob for such a evil deed. Their mother, Rebekah heard about it and warned Jacob of the plan. Then she told Issac that she wanted Jacob to go find a wife in her brother, Laban's family. For she knew that this would protect Jacob from being killed by Esau.

Isaac heeded his wife's words and sent Jacob away from them into another land to find a wife. It would be many years before Jacob and Esau would meet again. So this deed, divided the family.
