MEDITATION

Genesis 27:25-26

25 He said, “Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s game, so that my soul may bless you.” So he brought it near to him, and he ate; and he brought him wine, and he drank.
26 Then his father Isaac said to him, “Come near now and kiss me, my son.”

25以撒说:“你递给我,我好吃我儿子的野味,给你祝福。”雅各就递给他,他便吃了,又拿酒给他,他也喝了。

26他父亲以撒对他说:“我儿,你上前来与我亲嘴。”

a. 他得到父亲的允许来递食物
b. 以撒原以为自己将会吃以扫的野味
c. 他会祝福他的儿子

这个情景的伤感

2. 辈份小的儿子并不在他的心上

3. 雅各一直欺骗他的父亲

4. 虽不在场,利百加也参与其中

5. 唯独以扫仍然不知情!
