Note:The children struggled in her womb: the fight for the birthright -- He should cheat me twice? he took my birthright and now he has taken my blessing!: Jacob the deceiver --And behold, a stairway was set on the ground and its head reached to the sky: Jacobs dream at bethel -- It is not the practice in our place: wives and sons, a mixed blessing -- Let me go and i will go to my place and to my land: Jacobs odyssey from slavery to freedom -- For you have striven with God and with men and have prevailed: Jacob's homebound encounters -- Should our sister be treated like a whore? Jacob in Shechem -- And Isaac breathed his last and died and was gathered to his kin in ripe old age: deaths in the family -- And israel loved Joseph more than all his sons, for he was the son of his old age: priority of the youngest -- Gather together that I may tell you what is to befall you in the days to come: an end, a beginning.
