AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 27:35 Isaac said, "Your brother came deceitfully and has [fraudulently] taken away your blessing [for himself]." |
Subject: Why Esau not got his blessing back? |
Bible Note: I don't see where Isaac did any such thing. But the results of the act itself can be identified: Did Jacob and Rebekah ever see each other again after Jacob was sent to Laban? Genesis 35:27-29 states that Jacob returned into Isaac but doesn't mention Rebekah. That seems pretty intense in light of the evident love they had toward one another. Jacob also went without seeing his brother and father again for many years. Punishment for the act seems to have rightly come from God rather than Isaac. Just an observation. I stated that hopefully I would have called on God for direction in handling the situation if it were me, but I can probably honestly admit; had my wife and son deceived me in a similar manner, I’m sure I would have wanted to make their time with me miserable, at least for a while. Not that I condone such action, but in honesty, I’m sure I would have been upset. That’s just me. WOS |
