Jacob: Manipulating A Birthright Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jun 5, 2022

Normally the birthright goes to the firstborn son. That would be Jacob’s brother Esau. Now we will look at how Jacob manipulated the birthright for the blessing. By custom Esau was to inherit the blessings of Abraham and Isaac. This fellow Jacob stole Esau’s birthright and blessing.

An Outline Of Acts 19:21-41

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Dec 1, 2023
