Genesis 27: 6 And Rebekah spoke unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying, 7 Bring me venison, and make me savory meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before the Lord before my death.
And we can go on and on and on, for it was in sheer panic that Rebekah resorted to fraud, when Isaac was just about to bless Esau with the birthright. She hears Isaac say to Esau that he is about to bless him with the birthright, contrary to God’s revealed will, and in sheer panic, she decides to resort to fraud. In this instance Jacob also lied against God to avoid being found out by his father. The decisions, choices and actions all took place in panic mode.
Genesis 27:8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee. 11 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man. 12 My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing. 13 And his mother said unto him, upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them.
To gain the birthright that was his already by God's promise, Jacob resorted to fraud, and he reaped the harvest in his brother's hatred. Through twenty years of exile he was himself wronged and defrauded, and was at last forced to find safety in flight; and he reaped a second harvest, as the evils of his own character were seen to crop out in his sons—all but too true a picture of the retributions of human life.
Genesis 27:18 And he came unto his father, and said, my father: and he said, here am I; who art thou, my son? 20 And Isaac said unto his son, how is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the Lord thy God brought it to me.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
