Notes

Genesis 27:33

When Isaac understood what happened, he started shaking uncontrollably. He had tried to change God's plan, but God stopped him.

Genesis 27:30–40

In scene four, everything is discovered, and the family becomes even more divided.

Genesis 27:1–40

Jacob got his father Isaac’s blessing through deception. In this story, an entire family tries to carry out their responsibilities by physical means rather than by faith. Faith would have provided Rebekah and Jacob a more honorable solution to the crisis.
