205 Jacob Tricks Isaac

Genesis 27:1-40, TBC Book One, Chapter 19
Signs of old age weighed heavy on the heart of Isaac, who was now blind. He worried he might slip off in his sleep. He must put his household in order. So he called for his firstborn son.

“Esau, my son, get your quiver and bow and go out to the open country to hunt some wild game. Prepare it the way I like it. Then bring it to me so I may give you my blessing.”

Rebekah was secretly listening to what Isaac had said. She was afraid this would happen. Immediately she sent for Jacob. 

“We must be careful that no one hears us. Your father is about to give his blessing to Esau. . . . Here is what I want you to do. . . .”
