Genesis 27 · Grade 2

Jacob Tricks His Father

Name Date

Read the Story

Isaac was old and could not see well. He told Esau to hunt and cook food for him. Then he would bless him. Rebekah heard this. She wanted Jacob to get the blessing.

Rebekah cooked food. She put Esau's clothes on Jacob and goat skins on his arms, so he would feel hairy like Esau. Jacob went to his father and said, I am Esau. That was a lie. Isaac blessed Jacob.

When Esau came back, he found out what happened. He cried and was very angry with Jacob. Jacob had to run away to his uncle Laban. Lies bring sadness to families. God wants us to tell the truth.

Memory Verse

“God give you of the dew of the sky, of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and new wine.”
