GENESIS 27

JACOB TAKES ESAU’S BLESSING 

Jacob, with Rebekah’s sneaky instructions, tricks his father Isaac into blessing him instead of Esau. Because Esau is hairy and Jacob is not, Jacob attaches goat skin to himself so that he feels like Esau. Isaac is old and blind and falls for Jacob and Rebekah’s plan. 

Esau is furious and wants to kill Jacob, so Rebekah tells Jacob to run away to stay with her brother Laban in Haran.
