Summary

In this verse, Rebekah helps Jacob deceive his father, Isaac, by preparing a meal and dressing Jacob in Esau's clothes to receive the blessing meant for the firstborn. This act of deception reveals the lengths to which Rebekah and Jacob are willing to go to secure the blessing and birthright. It also highlights the consequences of their actions, as it leads to a strained relationship between Jacob and Esau, ultimately resulting in Jacob fleeing to escape Esau's anger.
