1. Adventures Of Jacob
1. Adventures Of Jacob
a) The adventures of Isaac and his son Jacob.
2. God At Work
a) Abraham's wife Sarah died at the age of 127. He buried her in the land of Canaan. Abraham then sent his oldest and most trusted servant back to Abraham's homeland to find a wife for Isaac among Abraham's own relatives. Isaac married Rebekah, his first cousin once removed.
b) This marriage was arranged in dignity, self sacrifice, and seeking God’s providence.
c) Satisfied with all this, Abraham died at the age of 175, and was buried where his wife lay.
d) Rebekah was barren, so Isaac prayed and God answered, thus Rebekah conceived and bore twins Esau and Jacob.
e) Just as God was at work in the story of Jacob's grandfather and father, so he is in the story of Jacob (Israel) too.
