Isaac and Jacob

Posted on 02:52 by Unknown
Today's reading is short: Genesis 25 & 26

It's the story of Isaac and Rebekah's twins: Jacob & Esau

Notice twice in chapter 25 the phrase "this is the account of...". It's that generational marker. The story shifts fairly quickly to Jacob, but there are some notable Isaac moments, such as God's word to Isaac:

"That night the lord appeared to him and said, 'I am the God of your father Abraham. Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bless you and will increase the number of your descendants for the sake of my servant Abraham.'"
