DLTK's Bible Stories for Children
Jacob and Esau
by
Practice you remember the story of Abraham and Sarah? 1 matter you should know about Abraham is that God made a covenant (or a promise) that he would have many children, that he would offset many nations, and about importantly God would exist with him and with all these nations. This promise would be passed down to every commencement built-in kid for many years.
God did what he said and Abraham had a boy named Isaac. The great thing is that this story is about Isaac, and he's all grown up and married to a lady named Rebekah.
Rebekah couldn't have children either simply Isaac had learned from his dad that if he prayed to God, He might answer his prayer. Certain enough, God answered Isaac'south prayer and his wife became pregnant, and non just with one baby merely with twins!
Do you remember your mommy e'er having a large tummy considering there was a infant growing inside? A swell affair can happen while the babe is growing - it moves! Babies movement all effectually while they're in the tummy and sometimes y'all can feel or see the baby moving around.
Rebekah had this same feeling as all moms do when they're going to have a babe. It's merely that she felt her babies moving around so much that she asked God, "Why is this happening to me?"
She was worried almost how they were moving within her. God answered her saying, "Your children are very unlike from one another, one of your children will lead a group of people that is stronger than the other and the oldest kid volition serve the younger one."
This was strange considering ordinarily if you're the oldest kid in the family unit the younger brothers or sister look up to them and want to exercise what the oldest is doing. Just in this instance the older brother would piece of work for the younger brother.
When the twins were born the starting time and oldest boy to be born was named Esau. He is easy to recollect because he was reddish and hairy all over. Right behind him came his younger brother Jacob.
As the boys got older they liked doing different things. Esau was skillful at hunting and loved doing things exterior and Jacob liked to stick around abode and did things on his own.
Because Jacob stayed at home a lot he learned to melt with his mom. One twenty-four hours he had made some of his delicious stew that everyone liked. Esau had been out early in the forenoon hunting and he was very hungry. So hungry that he could smell the stew from a far way off.
As soon equally Esau got home he asked Jacob, "Quick, let me have some of your stew, I'1000 starving!" Jacob replied, "First give me your birthright."
Wait a infinitesimal! You're probably wondering what a birthright is? Jacob and Esau's family unit believed that the oldest child should receive double of all the things they would leave behind subsequently they died (this was the birthright). Things like money and the subcontract with all the animals.
So when Jacob asked Esau for his birthright, Esau should've said, "No manner! That'southward something special for me and I need to use it considering every souvenir I receive is a souvenir from God."
Instead Esau could but think of how hungry he was and he said, "Yes already, you lot tin have my birthright just requite me some nutrient before I starve to death."
By choosing nutrient over his birthright Esau did a bad matter. He made a determination he couldn't modify and he disappointed God by not seeing the importance of his special gift he would get afterward on and choosing a silly thing like a bowl of soup instead.
The story isn't over yet. The next part of the story is nigh Jacob and the bad choices he makes.
Isaac was getting onetime and he wasn't able to come across anymore. He wanted to give his oldest and favorite son Esau his approval before he died. This blessing was the special promise that God promised to his grandfather Abraham, and then to his father Isaac.
Isaac loved the food that Esau hunted. So he told Esau to go hunt and set a special meal for him and then he would give him the blessing.
Rebekah overheard Isaac talking to Esau and rushed to tell her favorite son Jacob. She said to Jacob, "Your begetter is nearly to requite Esau his blessing and I want y'all to have it instead. You need to go get two of our goats and bring them to me, I will set up them just the way Isaac likes information technology. Then you can take it to him and he will requite you the blessing instead."
Jacob replied, "But mom, Esau is a hairy man. What if dad touches me and realizes that I'g tricking him?"
His female parent said to him, "Don't worry you can wear Esau'due south clothes and nosotros'll put the caprine animal hair on your easily and neck so he'll never know."
Then they did just that and Jacob went to come across his father pretending to be Esau.
"Hello begetter," Jacob said.
"Hello, and who is this?" His begetter asked.
"Information technology is me, Esau. I have brought yous the food you wanted then that yous can give me my blessing." Jacob lied.
"Come up closer then I tin can affect yous and know that yous are actually my oldest son Esau, said his father.
So Jacob went to Isaac and he felt his hands and said, "Y'all sound just like Jacob but your hands are only like Esau. Are yous really Esau?"
And Jacob chose to lie over again, "I am."
So Isaac ate and when he was finished he asked, "Come up and kiss me." When Jacob went to buss him, Isaac smelled the apparel he was wearing just to make sure information technology smelled like Esau. Since Jacob was wearing Esau'due south apparel his father believed that he was with Esau and he gave the approval to Jacob.
Only as Jacob finished getting the blessing he thought he heard Esau coming so he speedily snuck out the back of the tent. Just as he was walking away Esau entered the tent with the food he had prepared for his male parent.
His begetter asked, "Who are you?"
"It'southward me, your son Esau. I'one thousand hither to get my blessing," said Esau confused.
"I only gave you your blessing." And Isaac started to realize he had been tricked simply similar he thought. Esau started crying and yelling, "Anoint me besides father!"
"At that place is no blessing left," said his father sadly.
Esau was very upset with his blood brother Jacob for what he had done, so Jacob had to run away then he would exist safe.
*
After Jacob ran abroad he was tricked, simply similar he tricked his begetter. He had to await 7 years earlier he could be with the woman he wanted to ally and then he was tricked with the wrong woman!
What a story! Both brothers did things that they shouldn't accept, and fabricated bad choices that they couldn't change. Be careful with the choices that yous make, you never know how they will alter your life later on.
