Genesis 25-26

⁵ Abraham gave all he had to ______. ⁶ But to the sons of his concubines Abraham gave gifts, and while he was still living he sent them away from his son ______, eastward to the east country.  -Genesis 25:5-6

²¹ And Isaac prayed to the Lord for his wife, because she was barren. And the Lord granted his prayer, and Rebekah his wife conceived. ²² The children struggled together within her, and she said, “If it is thus, why is this happening to me?” So she went to inquire of the Lord. ²³ And the Lord said to her,“Two ______ are in your womb,  and two peoples from within you shall be divided; the one shall be stronger than the other, the older shall serve the younger.” -Gen 25:21-23

²⁵ The first came out red, all his body like a hairy cloak, so they called his name Esau.  -Gen 25:25  (What does the Hebrews name Esau mean? -Use your concordance)

Jacob was born last while holding onto Esau's heel. The name Jacob means "heel-holder," or "supplanter." What does "supplanter" mean?  (²⁶ Afterward his brother came out with his hand holding Esau's heel, so his name was called Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.  -Gen 25:26)

In Gen 25:30, why was Esau called "Edom," a word meaning red? (²⁹ Once when Jacob was cooking stew, Esau came in from the field, and he was exhausted. ³⁰ And Esau said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stew, for I am exhausted!” (Therefore his name was called Edom.) -Gen 25:29-30)

³¹ Jacob said, “Sell me your ______ now.” ³² Esau said, “I am about to die; of what use is a _____ to me?” ³³ Jacob said, “Swear to me now.” So he swore to him and sold his ______ to Jacob. ³⁴ Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew, and he ate and drank and rose and went his way. Thus Esau despised his ______. -Gen 25:31-34

⁶ So Isaac settled in ______. ⁷ When the men of the place asked him about his wife, he said, “She is my sister,” for he feared to say, “My wife,” thinking, “lest the men of the place should kill me because of Rebekah,” because she was attractive in appearance.  -Gen 26:6-7

¹² And Isaac sowed in that land and reaped in the same year a hundredfold. The Lord blessed him, ¹³ and the man became rich, and gained more and more until he became very wealthy. ¹⁴ He had possessions of flocks and herds and many servants, so that the Philistines _____ him. ¹⁵ (Now the Philistines had stopped and filled with earth all the wells that his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father.) ¹⁶ And Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go away from us, for you are much mightier than we.” -Gen 26:12-16

²⁶ When Abimelech went to him from Gerar with Ahuzzath his adviser and Phicol the commander of his army, ²⁷ Isaac said to them, “Why have you come to me, seeing that you hate me and have sent me away from you?” ²⁸ They said, “We see plainly that the Lord has been with you. So we said, let there be a sworn pact between us, between you and us, and let us make a covenant with you, ²⁹ that you will ________, just as we have not touched you and have done to you nothing but good and have sent you away in peace. You are now the blessed of the Lord.” Gen 26:26-29
