Transcription: For most people of that day, the blessing represented a kind of magical power that conveyed prosperity from one generation to another. For Isaac, it represented far more. He was transferring to his son the covenant blessing passed down from his father Abraham, a blessing that would one day produce a whole nation of God's favored people. This chapter records one of Jacob's most elaborate tricks, a ruse to get from his tottery father the blessing that rightfully belongs to his elder brother.
