Isaac and Rebekah had twin boys, Jacob (Rebekah's favorite) and Esau (Isaac’s favorite). Jacob offered Esau stew in exchange for Esau’s birthright. Esau took the deal promising Jacob that he would turn over his rights as firstborn son. Isaac was old and blind. He planned to give his final blessing to his firstborn son Esau. Rebekah and Jacob tricked Isaac into giving the blessing to Jacob instead. Rebekah used goat skins to disguise Jacob and make Isaac think he was Esau. The plan worked. When Esau found out he was very angry and decided to kill Jacob. Rebekah overheard Esau’s plan and sent Jacob to her brother Laban’s. One night, Jacob dreamed about a stairway reaching to heaven, with angels going up and down. The Lord was standing before him and promised many descendants. At Laban’s, Jacob fell in love with Rachel. He agreed to work seven years for Laban to marry Rachel, his daughter. Rachel’s older sister, Leah was not married. Laban tricked Jacob into marrying Leah and forced Jacob to work seven more years to marry Rachel. While in Haran, Jacob had eleven sons. Rachel birthed one of them, Joseph--Jacob’s favorite. Jacob wanted to return to Canaan. Laban tried to stop them, but Jacob still left. Jacob and Esau reconciled. Rachel delivered a twelfth son to Jacob, Benjamin. Rachel died when the baby was born. Jacob returned to the home of his father. Isaac died later at the age of 180 and was buried by his sons, Jacob and Esau.

In each he was lifted high above the brothers. That made them angry. They sold him into slavery and told their father he was dead. Joseph ended up in the house of Potiphar. He was successful and honored in that house until Potiphar’s wife tried to persuade him to have an inappropriate relationship. He refused and she falsely accused him. Joseph landed in jail. He was there until Pharaoh had a dream and needed someone to interpret it. He called for Joseph. Joseph told him famine was coming to Egypt and what needed to be done to prepare.
