There's a common pattern in the stories of Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph. In each case, a younger brother is elevated above his siblings, the younger is threatened by the older, there are conflicts and vying for position, the death of a patriarch, and finally reconciliation. The Bible contains many patterns like this, and none of them are only for literary effect. All #biblepatterns are there to teach us something important about God and our relationship with him.

The relationships between Jacob, Esau, Laban, Rachel, and Leah were complicated. It seems like they were all scheming against each other. However, some of them schemed for themselves, while others schemed to further God's plans. While the morality of such scheming seems dubious, other Bible passages such as the Parable of the Talents show that the Kingdom and God's plan are often more complex than we'd like.

Deuteronomy 6:6 — 7, “Always remember these commands I give you today. Teach them to your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and walk along the road. Talk about them when you lie down and when you get up.” The reason so many young people today are confused about the way the world really works is because they have not been taught about who created the world.

Every time we say “I believe in YHVH”, we mean that there is a living Elohiym Who is willing and able to permeate the human personality and change it irrevocably.
