How Jacob Took the Blessing (Biblical Stories Explained) 

The greatest part about this story is that it was Gods plan from the beginning. God said the older would serve the younger. And Esau gave his birthright to Jacob in exchange for food before Isaac even gave away the blessing. It was meant to be all along. God works through us all to bring His Word to life! We can’t judge anyone in the story. God works in mysterious ways. His ways are above our ways so we can judge all we want but it had to be that way from the beginning. I love this story and it taught me so many things. God loves you! :)

Moral of story: don't give up something that is precious for something that could be gone in a few minutes

Love your videos you earned a subscriber please keep them coming!

I'm going to name my new restaurant Esau's Goat Bistro.

Rebekah was indeed cursed in that she didn't see her favorite child again when Jacob fled to her brother's (his Uncle/father in law, Laban) in Padam Aram as Rebekah died while Jacob was still in Syria/Padam Aram... We should not try to "help" God's Plans come to fruition because when God promises something, He will fulfill it with or without our help as God is not a man that He should lie. Lesson learned: Wait on God... His Time is not necessarily our time (I'm saying this to myself as I know I am very impatient)...

These stories show the complexity of human dynamics and behavior.

Great video very insightful 💥👍🏿

I understand Esau’s frustration during this story. He got played twice. Weird how Jacob being a trickster inherited all of Isaac’s stuff.

I'd love to see you do a video on either of the Mesopotamian gods Nebo/Nabu or Ninurta/Ninib/Ningirsu, the former being the patron of scribes, writing, and the arts, and with the latter being that of storms, battle, and wisdom.

All glory to God for everything, Amen!

Jacob is my favourite biblical character because of his slow evolution, he begins as a scheming anti-hero and ends as a wise man, who has understood his wrongdoing and made something good out of it. This to me represents that even the most wicked can turn a new leaf and become decent people.

Fantastic video🙏🏿

You are a badass researcher and your video presentations are easy to understand.

Not only did Esau trade his birthright he also tried to go to Isaac and get the blessing he traded.

Thank you for these videos

Who would ever be jealous of a sibling who gets special treatment …

Thank you legend of history for video 👌👍👍👍👏👏

God already favours Jacob even the time he was born cause he remains obedient and humble to the Lord.

Beautiful vid for the day... 💯💯💯

I noticed in this particular narration he didn't give the future or present tense in today's times who Esau or Kane came to be like he's done with Ishmael in a previous video 🤔

I love this story and as my own eyes fail me my ears do not thank you for the well orchestrated video

It was very interesting and very well executed the story of this two brother.

This was really good🙏 God bless you sir

That’s child abuse in the form of emotional manipulation and neglect.

I think this is a metaphor for trading spirit for temporary material things. It would make sense why esau "idol worshipped" . What was yours would go to somebody else if you don't claim it?

This is my fav. Channel🐑📖👩‍🏫

No wonder the war in middle east never stops because of a simple family feud,,, Good thing Esau became rich after that but with hardship only

Jacob secured the birthright and blessing by way of food

I always wonder about the two kids from the flock for a meal for one man. We can assume the others would join the meal but it's still a lot of food and it sounds like it was a meal for Issac alone. Plus the stories about this families military exploits are extraordinary. They must have been huge peoples

Not cool Jacob, not cool.

I’m very impressed with the amount of Jewish information you have. I’m a religious Jew, I remember in Jewish school as a child we were told about when Rebekah was pregnant Jacob would kick when she was near a place of god and the other baby would kicked when near a place of idol worship

Blasphemy Esau traded his birth right for a bowl of soup

ty I'm my friend appreciate it

If u think Jacob just was scared cus he thought he'd get caught by his daddy I think he was scared that he knew his family was blessed by God & not only his Father but his Father in heaven was watching cuz that how he'd get cursed u speak of Jacob's dad couldn't give it to him(curse)but it's God that could

Esaus descendants are still mad.

I love this commentator..Abraham threw Sarah under the bus.. Rebekah is a sneaky bitch.. tell us how you feel😂😂😂 I’m so addicted

Does it still count if Isaac's intention was to Bless Esau and Blessed Jacob Instead?

One I really been wanting to see for a long time is Jesus and the miracles he preformed

New to this channel and by far your videos have the weirdest comments I've come across on youtube

So no one can take anything away from you, only if you let them, you made it true, you have them that power, because if Isaac truly wanted to bless his son he would have blessed him the same way, but no issac cursed his son instead with his words

Damn that was messed up Jacob I would be mad as hell if I was Esau.

God will put you in a test to see if you can trust in him no matter what the circumstances are.

There are a people who is the descendants of Esau who have the most power and more access to food. That’s what he had chosen.

Its been said Esau is a reflection of Adam who both traded their birth right for food

Can you please do a video on “Cain’s Curse” and how Catholics use that fictional story to justify slavery and racism

🔥🙏🙏🙏

Furthermore, The Most High declared he hated Esau.. Romans 9:13 & Malachi 1..

False images

Stealing Blessings is that *Easy?!*

Romans 9:13 - “As it is written: I have loved Jacob, but I have hated Esau.”

It seems to me that perhaps a curse was brought upon both Rebecca and Jacob as well as both their descendants. Isn't The Sword, the Word of God?

I still don't get the pronouncing of "blessing". Is it promising to treat one better than the other and giving him inheritance, control of family matters, etc.?

Can you please do a video on Biag ni Lam-ang from Filipino mythology?

DO A VIDEO ON PRE ISLAM ☪️ AL UZZA AND AL LAT ALIAT THE THREE SISTERS AND THE PARALLELS WITH THE 3 Hindu sisters

I feel Esau's pain. I too can be bribed with food.

french translation please

It was pointed out that Esau was an adulterer for having two wives but how many did Jacob have? The same amount, not to mention concubines. Their was no law in the old testament prohibiting people from marrying multiple wives.

Youll notice the vegetarian aspect of Cain and Jacob.

If Isaac was wise, he would have given both sons fair blessing, but instead he wanted to defy God in order to bless Esau, leaving nothing for Jacob.

We may all be children of God, but even God doesn't treat his children all the same. But when it comes to God, his prejudice isn't irrational and unjustified.

Jacob's character: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CuHpVpxiAtA.html

great story can you do mary Magdalene next

In short: Esau: The Jock. Jacob: The Nerd.

Yisraelites are Seraphim according to texts

Jacob just like his descendents are murderers and thieves. I still like his character though.

It’s so funny nothing changes, the manipulative wife knows what she is going to say and have the situation under control

"Esau never served Jacob." Esau hated Jacob because of Isaac's blessing. He thought to himself, "My father will soon die, and I will be sad for him. Then I will kill Jacob." (This hatred was passed down to his grandson Amalek, the father of the Amalekites.) Jacob's son, Joseph, is sold into slavery by his stepbrothers, and his dependents become enslaved under Pharaoh.

Why can’t he tell thre differences of voices

I was always intrigued by all mythology as a child but was raised Baptist Christian and my mother is a minister. Anyway, this story has ALWAYS bothered me! I was given childrens Bible’s when I was young and at stone like 9 or 10, I remember being so angry and confused by this. Like, ummmm, there wasn’t a more ethical way to go about this!?! I can honestly say, even as an adult, this story still ruffles my feathers. Trickery, deception, deceitful behavior - rewarded. I just, I just….🙁😕

Money certainly is useless.

Jacob feared God and he knew in his heart what his mother was demandin of him to do was wrong

God told Rebecca there were two Nations/ NATURES of people in her womb. The Bible nowhere calls Jacob a deceiver. Esau had a heart made of trash and accused Jacob of being a Deceiver. Esau slandered his brother as a deceiver and much of the Christian tradition continues to believe his lie to this day. We all need to read our Bibles more carefully, extensively and prayerfully

This is Church or atleast Sunday school for me. "Thy will be done"... 🤔 But Why did God allow this to happen? If it was said the eldest would serve the youngest, why couldn't it be done in a positive/loving way??? Poor Esau

What religion was Rachel and Rebecca? Didn’t Rachel’s dad have idols? Why was Jacob allowed to marry her?

But God already told Rebecca that the younger would serve the older she was acting to God's plan

Whatever God declares, is what shall happen. In the greater plan for the world, God sets things in motion to make us ready for the final days. The methods that humans take to do these things, or the coincidences that happen that allow these things to happen according to his will may often be seen as cruel, random, or brutal, but in the end, the results have always been grand.

Clearly Esau wasn’t worth the blessing as God stated

Rebecca's actions were the works of The Most High as the angel told her that the older shall serve the younger, it was prophesied before she over heard them. That changes the whole narrative, I don't understand how you missed that. 😕.

Live in the present not the past!!!

Read the book of Jubilees and you will see that it’s all the plans of The Most High. Be blessed!

NEXT: How did Strangers stole Taliban.

Jacob didn't steal anything. EVER

Esau broke the rule that the Lord and Abraham had, that his descendants shouldn't married the hittites and the Canaanites

By way of deception ,,, A book title of the deception ways of the Jewish secret service, comes to mind with this bible story.

Years later Jacob makes up for stealing the blessing, by giving his brother hundreds of Sheep, Goats, Cows, Camels, Bulls, and Donkeys.

It's a moot point bro.

You ended this video with a lesson that humans should pay attention to which is "Despite our intelligence and smarts to control and manipulate things, ultimately God's will and plan is the only outcome that will happen". This is what aethist do not like to hear but unfortunately dir them the Creator always has the last say.

In 29:41 you stated that Esau went to Abraham's banished brother Ishmael. That is incorrect! Ishmael is Abraham's banished son. Please be very careful not to mislead.

Well I just had to leave a giant disc to McDonald's I'm never buying that garbage ever again those guys can't read like it's simply says on the bag for the burger in big bold letters no onions the thing is covered in onions top to bottom this is supposed to be a triple stack with extra meat no onions it's just covered with onions I will never buy their food again sorry I feel a little rant but this just happened now I just looked at it and it's like really I can't even scrape it there's that much of it it's like it's fused with everything they get me sick and I don't want them

Jocabs revenge.......

Why must you always use images of Caucasians on all your videos when the GOD of the Bible made the covenant with the dark race of humans. ?

This must be from before everybody knew that God was always watching And All knowing what not.

Why is nobody focused on Rebekah scheming against her first born & manipulating her ill husband? 👀 That's some real Instagram Thot behaviour & if anything Jacob was the simpleton & should've mind his business in the tent 🤨

God already told Rebekah that the older shall serve the younger, so Rebekah was doing god's will. Esau's bloodline is still angry about this little event even today, down judging Rebekah and Jacob as he narrate this story

By way of deception ,,,, A title of a book published Comes to mind about Jewish culture.

Why are you twisting the narrative of the story as if we can't open the book and read it for ourselves? Are you defending Esau because that's your forefather? IMJ because I will defend Jacob because I know what stock I come from.

An your images fake don't match up to the description of the ppl. Woe to the shepherd that leave the sheep's astray.

68th

It is written in the word of God where God States I will bring the Calamity of Esau upon him, squandering the birthright through worldly desires that you feel is necessity mine was basically drugs and fornication I chose that above my Birthright and suffered the loss of it. It goes deeper than that but so many of us surrender our birth rights because of worldly things and not listening to the word of God and the Holy Spirit and what Keeps Us separated from it and in darkness goes pretty deep, of course it's iniquity that's the primary source, and going from light to darkness which can be described in Proverbs where King Solomon States whosoever curses his mother or father his lamp shall be casted into obscure Darkness, then I learned in Romans chapter 1 another source of it how your heart can become dark. But it's mainly in the case of Jacob and Esau is choosing to deprive yourself of spiritual things for something temporary like instant gratification. That was ultimately my downfall and he brought the Calamity upon me as deserved. It's a suffering I would not wish upon anybody it's the worst feeling you could ever feel it's a living hell
