Weekly Torah "Plus" Highlights - Year 1, Week 26

In last week's reading, Jacob deceived Isaac into receiving the blessing of the firstborn. This week, his brother Esau shows up with savory meat for their father, expecting to be blessed as planned. So Jacob's trickery is discovered. He is sent away to his mother's brother to find a wife, and Isaac blesses him once again - this time with the Promise given to Abraham. Through all the deception and confusion in this story, we see how Yah's Will for His Promise of "The Seed (Y'shua)" is fulfilled in Isaac and Jacob due to Rebekah's steady and watchful presence. The readings in Micah and Romans really give us a true realization of the One who was prophesied and the One who came because of the story that started with Abraham and Sarah, then kept on track by Rebekah.
