January 11 - Genesis 25-26:33

Jacob and his mother deceive Esau and Isaac.  There's so much deception in the first book of the Bible.  Abraham lies twice about his wife being his sister.  Then Isaac, the son, tells the very same like to one of the very same guys that Abraham lies to (Abimelech).  So what does Abimelecch think about this God that the liars follow?  Payback will follow later when Laban deceives Jacob into thinking he's geting Rachel after working seven years.  Maybe a little payback for Jacob's deception?  Unfortunately, much more to come.
