Genesis Chp. 26 - 28 (Holy Bible)

Aired 10/22/2010.

Vocabulary
1. birthright - Godly blessing by God, or parents' future goals verbalized with a prayer to God/Allah

Chp. 26 Introduction (God/Yaweh/Allah allows repetition.)
Isaac and Rebekah repeat the event of saying that they were only sister/brother such as the scenario of Abraham/Sarah.  What would have happened if Abraham would have discussed the lie? Instead a curse was placed on the people in the foreign land.  God's people now include Isaac, the son of Abraham.  He has twin boys - Esau and Jacob.  Esau, the oldest, marries two women -Judith and Bash'emath. New and first creations received a godly blessing especially, if you were the first born.  Let's read the chapters to see the importance of the first born birthright:
26:34 Judith means praise.
26:35 Isaac and Rebekah were not pleased of the marriage.

Chp. 27
27:11 God has created Esau and Jacob differently.  One is hairy and a hunter; the other, is studious and less hairy.
27:12 Just suppose Isaac will feel and know my identity.
27:13 I believe that Rebekah had Jacob in the house while she was doing womanly work, "Your such a nice son.. you should really have the first born birthright." Rather it be wrong or right, Rebekah!? We, as humans, do this by covering up lies with more lies.  That is why it would be best to confess. Especially, if we are trying to break genertional curses. Amen.

Rebekah wanted Jacob to have the rights soo bad. She was willing to accept the punishment if any.  My, my! Lies you have to plan for a looong time, then rework the plan if necessary.  I wonder what would happen if the audience would provide suggestions to make our 2011 show great! Let's create..
27:15 Notice how a child gets involved unknowingly in mess. Children only know what we do, or teach them. 
27:28 Esau's first child birthright blessing was similar to Adam and Eve's blessings.

Chp. 28
28:9  Esau married another -his great uncle's daughter, or shall we say his first cousin.  Today we would probably see descriptions of mental retardation, or gene disorders from such families.  Esau now has three wives.
28:19 Luz was changed to Bethel.
28:22 So Esau was the founder of giving God 10% of his earnings. God had told Rebekah before the twin boys were born that the younger would rule the older. Does that happen in your home? To those who have twins do the "no-matter-how" break of such generational family curse.
