This is the first sign that Jacob is jealous of Esau and has the ability to scheme and plan (Gen. 25:19-28). At this point in the biblical text, scholars could believe that Jacob is going to be the…

God’s covenant to Abraham included all of Abraham’s decedents taking over the land and obtaining the covenant.

and mother stood out among the hundreds of thousands of women during her time. Monica’s passion for God and the attitude that he blessed her with is very worthy to be emulated. Rebekah as well, had a moral conscious to gain prosperity for her son Jacob. The cost in the end may have caused separation within her children, but they were that way inside her womb and at birth. God blessed her with two nations that would grow and become strong leaders. This was a choice in which she made to make…

devise deceit and treachery. Jacob and Odysseus, men from mythologies of radically different religions, both possess the inclination to seize personal distinction through guile and proudly rely on their own virtue and skills. As a result, both of them are beset with hardships. Yet over time they both realize their shortcomings, recognize their dependence on the divinity and with its guidance redeem themselves of the troubles derived from their lies and deceit. However, Jacob and Odysseus reach…

In the Old Testament, God uses prophets as His mediators. They serve as a middle man between God and man. As God’s story unfolds in the Old Testament, we see great prophets emerge during times of great injustice. Among these great prophets is Elijah, an Israelite and worshiper of God under during the reign of Ahab and his murderous, idolatrous wife Jezebel. Ahab himself let his uncertainty and fear drive his passivity, which, even more so, gave way to Jezebel’s evil desires. As Ahab & Jezebel…

Due to Jacob’s special favor to Joseph and those dreams of dominating the land that Joseph has, Joseph’s brothers kidnapped him. They sell Joseph to Ishmaelites, who later sell Jacob to Egyptians, and lie to their father about Joseph’s death by showing Joseph’s robe with blood. Once Jacob saw the blood, he cried out, “It is my son’s robe! A wild animal has devoured him; Joseph is without doubt torn to pieces.” (Genesis 37) This insidious deception, however, gives Joseph a chance…

Genesis as Jacob becomes Israel not just once but twice. Jacob was the son of Isaac and Rebekah making him the grandson of Abraham and Sarah. He even had a twin brother named Esau. Even though most parents say they do not have a favorite child, it was known that Esau was Isaac’s favorite, and Jacob was Rebekah’s favorite. This caused some jealousy towards Esau as Jacob wanted the approval and blessing from his father that would surely be given to Esau instead. When Isaac was nearing death, Jacob…
