Rivka (Rebecca) wanted Yaakov (Jacob) to receive Yitzchak's (Isaac's) blessings, because she felt that Yaakov was the more deserving son and she had heard a prophecy to that effect (Genesis ch.25). Yaakov agreed to cooperate with Rivka's plan because Esau had sold him the birthright (ibid.), making him first in line for the blessings. So Yaakov carried food in to his aged father Yitzchak (Genesis ch.27) and spoke as if he was Esau.

What did abrahams son Isacc do?
In his old age Isaac was visually impared and so unknowingly gave his blessing to the younger son Jacob rather than the Eldest son Esau, because Jacob and his mother divised a plan to trick Isaac into giving Jacob the blessing. When Esau came back from hunting an realised what had happened he beg his father if there was any blessing left for him but there wasnt, so Esau planned to kill his brother Jacob for stealing his blessing. When the mother (Rebekah) learned of this she sent Jacob away to another land where his uncle lived. For details on as to how Isaac was tricked etc read Genesis Chapter 27. Hope the above answered your question:-)

In which book of the Bible is Isaac found?
A:Facts about Isaac are not to be found in the Bible, because it is accepted among scholars that the Patriarchs were not real, historical people. There are still facts to be discovered by looking analytically at the biblical accounts. The story in the Bible says that Isaac was born to Abraham and Sarah when Abraham was 100 years old and Sarah was 90. The story recognises that these were improbable ages, saying that Abraham laughed when God told him that he would have a son at such a great age. They are also nice, round numbers because the tradents who passed these stories down orally into the first millennium BCE generally used numbers that were easy to remember.The name Isaac means 'He laughs', again a reference to Abraham laughing when told that Isaac would be born, and again a prompt so that the tradents could easily associate the correct names with the storylines.When Isaac was a little older, God told his father, Abraham, to sacrifice him on an altar. Fortunately, Abraham's hand was stayed in time, and Abraham sacrificed a sheep instead.Just as Abraham tried to pass Sarah off as his sister while visiting the palace of Abimelech king of Gerar, so did Isaac, his son, try to pass his wife Rebekah off as his sister to the same king, once again for fear that the king would kill him in order to have sex with her (Genesis 26:6-11). This is clearly a case where a tradition about one of the Patriarchs accidentally became part of the tradition of the second and then was passed on in both.Isaac had twin sons, Jacob and Esau, who were bitter rivals even before their birth. Genesis says that Jacob held on to Esau's heel in an attempt to prevent him being born first, something that would have required intelligence, awareness of the outside world and manual dexterity far beyond the capabilities of ordinary mortals. There is quite plausible evidence in the Book of Genesis that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were incarnations of the moon god in early belief, before the story evolved over the centuries into one in which they were mortal heroes, with Esau originally an incarnation of the sun god.The Bible also tells us that Isaac lived to 180 years old. Most of the lifespans in the Genesis genealogies involve formulas around the number 17, as in the case of all three Patriarchs, where we find:Abraham lived to 175 (5 X 5 X 7)Isaac lived to 180 (6 X 6 X 5)Jacob lived to 147 (7 X 7 X 3)Each lifespan involves a perfect square (5, 6, then 7 in a numeric series),the third factor also forms a series (7, 5, 3)in each case the sum of the factors is 17.Another Answer:The full story of Isaac begins in Genesis 17 and is continued to chapter 49. Many other books mention him. Jesus Himself, when answering a 'trick' question put to him said:Matthew 22:31-33 (New King James Version - NKJV)31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, saying, 32 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?[a] God is not the God of the dead, but of the living." 33 And when the multitudes heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.Footnotes:Matthew 22:32 Exodus 3:6, 15
What possible religious message is there in the stories of trickery by Rebecca Jacob and Laban?
Research suggests that the stories of the Hebrew Patriarchs and their families are only loosely based on older, mythical stories that had quite different contexts and messages to the stories that have come down to us. Over time, the Hebrew people lost the sense of what the stories had once meant, but clung to them as favourites.
How did Laban trick Jacob into marrying Leah?
