Genesis 28 – Jacob (Part 1)

July 16, 2016 by memullin

The story continues of the patriarchs and the promise of land and descendants originally made to Abraham. Jacob, the younger son of Isaac who received the blessing of his father through deceit, becomes the central figure in the next couple of chapters. Jacob is the father of 12 sons. These sons become the heads of the 12 tribes of Israel. Through the 12 tribes, God will deliver on His promises to Abraham. Jacob is an encouraging figure for us because he is less than perfect in his handling of difficult situations. God continues to use him and work through him and his family despite his short-comings.

Read Genesis 28
1. What instructions does Isaac give Jacob in sending him off?

2. What is Laban’s relationship to Jacob?

3. Re-read Genesis 28:10-22 and answer the following questions: Who? What? Where? When? How? Why?

4. What do the following verse tell you about God’s promises to His people?
a. Exodus 6:7

b. Jeremiah 7:23

c. Ezekiel 36:27-31
