Rebecca accompanied the servant to Canaan and married Isaac. Although, polygamy was common in those days, Isaac took only one wife whom he loved deeply. Rebecca bore to Isaac twin sins, Esau, and Jacob. The days of Isaac on the earth came to an end at the age of one hundred and eighty year. Upon his death, his sons, Esau and Jacob, being reconciled to each other, buried him. Isaac didn’t accomplish anything spectacular.

Esau was a hunter and Jacob was a cultivator, a grower, a shepherd. Esau was a one day man while Jacob savoured the best out of what today holds and prepares to confront the future with hope. As a farmer who clears the bush, tills the ground, plants the seed on the prepared soil, weeds the grounds and painstakingly watches and waits until his labour is due for harvesting before setting forth the sickle to gather into his barns so was Jacob who could conceive and walk through his goals…

The man on the goat trail and the man in the safari suit describe two different men, in the same environment, the jungle. The man on the goat trail is wearing a coat made from goat skin. He’s a hunter, with a hands on style, as he sets traps to catch his prey. When he catches his prey, he builds a fire, takes out his huge knife, skins his prey and rolls the meat over the fire.

However, Jacob’s intelligent forethought and planning secures the…
