The ironies of Jacob’s life…or what goes around, comes around!
Jacob deceives...........................Jacob is deceived
He doesn’t respect the first-born sibling...He marries first-born Leah
He follows his mother’s scheme...He flees, never sees her again
He schemes to get the inheritance...He arrives at Haran with nothing
Birthright deal with Esau......Laban deals for 7-yr employment
He wears Esau’s clothes....................Leah’s veiled in bridal attire
He relies on Isaac’s blindness.............It is dark in the tent
He serves Isaac a goat (not game)...Goat’s blood on Joseph’s robe
Esau has to live with the outcome..........Jacob gets unwanted wife
His parents have favorite siblings...Jacob sadly has a favored wife
