Jacob must have been a rotten kid!

In spite of God's direction, and although his other son was a numskull, Isaac did not want Jacob to receive his blessing.

If it were up to Isaac, it would be Esau who would carry the family line forward.

Jacob was not an option.

However, God's decree would not be thwarted, would it?

That will be the focus in today's study of Genesis 27.

Questions That We'll Answer:

A) Why did Isaac prefer Esau? What were his reasons?

B) Was the 'ruse' of Jacob and his mother Rebecca actually a sin?

C) What can we learn from the brokenness of this patriarchal family?
