Genesis 27:6-7
Genesis 27:6-17: Rebekah’s Plan for Jacob This passage describes how Rebekah created a plan to help Jacob receive the blessing that Isaac wanted to give to Esau. Rebekah remembered God’s promise that the older son would serve the younger (Genesis 25:23 a), so she wanted to make sure Jacob was blessed. However, she chose to use deception instead of asking Isaac directly or trusting God to work things out. Her actions show that even when our goal is right, it is important to use honest and faithful means. God still used this situation to fulfill His plan, showing that He can bring good even from human mistakes (Job 12:16 b).v. 6: Rebekah told Jacob that she had heard Isaac ask Esau to bring him wild meat and receive a blessing before he died (Genesis 27:6-7 c). –
