Joe: Alright, so what's going on in Genesis 27?

Bible Expert: Well Joe, this chapter is all about Isaac blessing his son Jacob instead of his elder son, Esau.

Joe: Wait, why would he do that?

Bible Expert: Well, it was all part of a plan by his mother Rebecca and Jacob. You see, Isaac was old, and Rebecca wanted to make sure that her younger son, Jacob, received the blessing.

Joe: So she tricked her husband?

Bible Expert: Yes, she tricked Isaac into thinking he was blessing Esau, when really he was blessing Jacob.

Joe: Wow, that's some serious deviousness! What happened after that?

Bible Expert: Well, of course Esau was very angry when he found out what had happened. He threatened to kill Jacob, so Jacob had to flee to his uncle's house in order to escape his brother's wrath.

Joe: Crazy! So, did Esau ever forgive Jacob?

Bible Expert: Eventually, yes. After many years of separation, the two brothers were reunited and reconciled.
