Of course, it is only fitting that Jacob receives his father's blessing. God had already stated that the older would serve the younger. This was a move of God and, therefore, could not be thwarted. I am convinced it was unnecessary for Rebekah to help her son deceive Isaac. But the story is filled with deception and lies. We can not justify Jacob's lies or Rebekah's deception, and it does us little good to speculate how God may have brought about Jacob's blessing under more savory circumstances, so we will accept the narrative and move on. In this blessing to Jacob, there is a repeating of the blessing God gave to Abraham, "Cursed be everyone who curses you, and blessed be everyone who blesses you." I will remind you that this blessing carries more weight in its spiritual meaning rather than its temporal meaning...
