Jacob was his mother’s favourite, whilst Esau was his father’s.
PICTURE 04
One day Esau said to Jacob, “Give me a meal for my inheritance.”
PICTURE 05
The deal was done for a bowl of bean soup.
PICTURE 06
Isaac who was blind called Esau and said, “My son, catch a deer cook and then I will  give you the inheritance.”
PICTURE 07
Rebekah said to Jacob, “I will cook a meal, you give it to your father and you will receive the inheritance”.
PICTURE 08
Then she put goat skin on the back of his hands and neck.
PICTURE 09
Isaac was confused, because he heard Jacob, but smelled Esau.

So Isaac felt him and asked, “Are you really my son Esau?”
PICTURE 11
Jacob replied, “Yes I am”
PICTURE 12
Then Isaac blessed Jacob with the inheritance.
PICTURE 13
When Esau found out he growled, “He has stolen my inheritance, I will kill him.”

Rebekah told Jacob, “Esau is planning to kill you. Go to my brother Laban and stay there.”

So Jacob journeyed to his uncle Laban.
PICTURE 16
That evening Jacob had a dream and the Lord spoke;
PICTURE 17
 “I am the Lord God of Abraham and Isaac. This land shall be given to you, and to your children.”

The next day Jacob built an altar and worshipped the Lord.

Whilst Jacob was at a well Rachel, Laban’s daughter came with her sheep.

“I am Jacob, Rebekah’s son. My mother is the sister of your father Laban.”

Jacob said to his uncle, “I will work for you for seven years, if you will let me marry Rachel.”

But the veiled woman that Jacob married, was not Rachel, but was Rachel’s sister Leah. When confronted Laban said;
PICTURE 23
 “The older sister must marry first.”
PICTURE 24
So Jacob worked another seven years to marry Rachael.

Jacob loved Rachael.
PICTURE 26
 “Return to the land of your fathers, and I will be with you.”

After God spoke, Jacob started the journey. On route, messengers came to him saying;
PICTURE 28
 “Esau is coming to meet you, with four hundred men!”

PICTURE 31
 “From now on, you shall be called I-s-r-a-e-l”
