genesis 25-28 32-33

Before Jacob and Esau were even born, it was known that one brother would serve the other.  Not only does Jacob have Esau's birthright, but also he stole his blessing from his father Issac.  Throughout the readings you can see that both twins differ in many ways.  Overall they are two completely different people.  The way they are treated and the way that they treat others show this.  The parents also differ in the way they see both of their sons.  Rebekah favors Jacob and goes behind Issac's back and deceives Issac into thinking that Jacob is Esau.  Issac gives Jacob his blessing before he dies instead of Esau.  This makes me believe that Rebekah cannot be trusted by anyone, not even her own husband.  Her husband is who she deceives.  Overall I feel that the two acts that Jacob has done that were wrong is the reasoning for what will happen to him in the future of his life.  He took his brother's birthright and his blessing, both are wrong and don't belong to him.
