From Genesis: "In the Beginning..." This moving fiIm shows Jacob's struggIe to receive his father's blessing. Esau and Jacob were born to lsaac and Rebekah. As firstborn son, Esau was destined to become head of the famiIy and inherit a double share of the estate. Before his death, Isaac was to pIace his bIessings upon each son, when Rebekah heard that lsaac was going to bless Esau, she took matters into her own hands and devised a pIan to trick Isaac, who was blind, into bIessing Jacob instead. Jacob obeys his mother and receives the blessings but is forced to fIee for his life when an enraged Esau vows to kilI him. Jacob seeks refuge in the homeIand of his mother's brother Leban. He marries Leban's daughters, rears a famiIy and works for his father-in-Iaw tending sheep. Soon, Jacob loses favor with his father-in-Iaw and God telIs him to return to the land of his father. Fearing a confrontation with his brother Esau, he nervously prepares for the reunion with his brother. |
