Once upon of time there were two brothers, They both wanted nothing more in life than to be blessed by their father no matter what. “I am the older brother i feel should be blessed!!”.
His father Isaac gave him a task, the task was to go and hunt for game, and to make a savory meal for his father or he would not be given the chance to be blessed. Esau said “I am up for your task father” and begin his journey for his father's meal. Isaac's wife the brother’s mother Rebekah felt that her younger son Jacob could do everything esau could, She told him “My Dear young son i say you can please your father just as good as Esau so go get the supplies for his savory meal and make it fast!!” Esau and Jacob were two brothers like any other kind, they were

Esau was much more muscular and hairier, if they didn't get everything right his father would know. Jacobs mother got him ready for the presentation, he went up to his father in disguise as his older brother Esau and said “I have returned with your fine wine and savory meal father may I now have your blessing”. At first isaac asked “Are you really my oldest son Esau”, Jacob responded “yes i have brought what you asked may I have my blessing”, Isaac finally gave into giving him his blessing. After Jacob successfully got his blessing even though the wrong way he went on his way.

At it first Isaac was super confused he said “who did i just give my blessing to”, Esau was confused as well “what do you mean father”, “I could of swore you just got my blessing not to long ago”. Jacob had fooled him and got his blessing like his mother had said. Isaac didn't know what to do “I already gave a blessing out, i'm not going to give you one to you missed out!”. All the work esau went through to get his fine wine and the best game was for nothing “Father can I please, get a blessing i'm begging you and cried out loud i did everything you asked, all i'm asking is for your blessing!!”. Isaac was sympathetic towards his older son but still said “ i already gave out a blessing i can not do another one even if you are my oldest son”. “Have you only one blessing, father? Bless me, me also, father!” And Esau lifted up his voice and wept. Isaac finally told him “ Do you wanna know who took your blessing”, esau said “Who was it!!”, his father said “it was your brother he disguised himself as you and did everything i asked you, and came in and took your
“He had felt that his father was growing weak, he had believed that the end was near and had sought this separation in order to get rid the burden, to free himself from an encumbrance … My God, Lord of the Universe, give me strength never to do what Rabbi Eliahou’s son has done…�(87).

Jacob's name means "deceiver" and he lives up to his name. His deceitfulness began with stealing his brother's birthright. One day, Esau came in from the fields famished and found Jacob cooking a meal. Jacob offered his half-starved brother, "Give me the birthright and I'll give you some soup." Esau being starved, sold his birthright to Jacob. (Genesis 25: 29-34). Sometime later when Isaac thought he was going to die, he called Esau into his tent and told him to kill an animal and make him some soup. Isaac's wife overheard this and connived a plan with Jacob to deceive Isaac. Jacob disguised himself as Esau and obtained his blind and dying father's blessing (Genesis 27).
Conflict arises again between Sarah and her husband when she demands that her husband come over and talks with her. Sarah starts by saying, "I want to know what you're buildin' that new barn for, father?" Father's quick response is, "I 'ain't got nothin' to say about it." Sarah continues her dialogue by saying, "I'm goin' to talk real plain to you: I never have sense
When Eliezer and his father, Chlomo, arrived at their first concentration camp, Eliezer was in an emotional agony. He considers running to the electrical wire to escape the "slow agony in the flames." His father replies by weeping and reciting the prayer of the dead. "May His Name be blessed and magnified" This tests Eliezer’s faith for the first time. "Why should I bless His name...what had I to thank Him for," he said...
Eliezer loses faith in his family. He and his mother and sister were parted at the camp and he has no hope to see them ever again. "Men to the left! Women to the right..."(pg 27).
Isaac is near a well in a town, and he prays to God so that he could find a wife, and that whoever gives himself and his camels water from a well that is who he is supposed to marry. So Rebekah comes and draws water from it for Isaac and the camels, as soon as her knows her family background, he gives her loads of dowry and they get betrothed! According to Alter, it’s interesting how this type scene worked, there was a lot of dialogue, and it was pretty detailed overall (Alter 53). Jacob is the only instance in which he himself meets the woman at a well (to be betrothed), to Alter Isaac is the most passive of the “hero’s” (or Patriarchs). Alter uses the example of Jacob who was bound to be a victim, he was saved because of a ram; “later he will prefer the son who can go out to the field and bring him back provender”

Abraham obeyed God by preparing wood and loading his donkey and took away Isaac and two servants with him. On reaching the place ordered by God, Abraham built an Alter and arranged the wood on it. He tied up his son and placed him on altar, on top of the wood and picked up the knife to kill him. Abraham was stopped by the Lord’s voice from heaven telling him, he was an obedient man who honored God. The angel of God confirmed to him how God would richly bless him and give him many descendants as there are stars in the sky or grains of sand along the seashore.
Jacob first appears in the Bible in the book of Genesis. The Bible says that Esau was the firstborn of the twins. “Afterward his brother came out, with his hand gripping Esau’s heel; so he was named Jacob.” (Genesis 25:26). The boys grew up, and Esau was described as a skillful hunter, while Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents. Once when Jacob was cooking a stew in his tent, Esau came in from the from hunting in the fields and was famished. Jacob told Esau he would share with him his stew on the condition that Esau renounce his birthright to him. Esau accepted. Later, as their father, Isaac sat on his deathbed, he blessed Jacob, who was dressed in fur clothing to imitate Esau who had more body hair than Jacob. Isaac thought it was Esau he was blessing (Meeks 41). After this, Jacob’s mother advised him to go live with his Uncle Labon in Padan-Aram – afraid that Esau would become vengeful and kill Jacob after he tricked their father into giving him his blessing of the first born.
