Esau And Jacob

Isaac's wife Rebekah was barren, and he entreated the Lord in her Behalf, and as a result she conceived ( Genesis 25:21 ). Before they were born, the Lord selected Jacob as Isaac's successor in the Abrahamic Promises ( Genesis 25:21-23; Romans 9:9-12 ). Jacob subsequently,

1. purchased the birthright of Esau ( Genesis 25:24-34 )
2. and also cheated him out of the patriarchal blessing ( Genesis 27:1-40 ).
