No One Righteous, Not One
Genesis 27 is one of those passages where it is difficult to see any good at all. One messed up family with all playing their evil part... There are the parents playing favourite, the older brother who doesn't care about his family, and of course, Jacob the younger brother who deceives his way into a blessing he was supposed to get anyway. I guess the only good thing that comes out of this is that it does set the stage for God's sovereign work of building up the chosen family, Israel. But one wonders, if they had just trusted in Yahweh, how much easier would things have been for them?
