Isaac found out too late that it was Jacob he blessed and not Esau when Esau returned from the hunt and cooked his favorite food. Esau pleaded that he be given another blessing but Isaac said this was not possible. In the face of Esau's wrath, Jacob was sent away by Rebecca to her relatives .

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:-)

Who betrayed Isaac?

Isaac was betrayed by his son Esau, who sold his birthright to his brother Jacob for a bowl of stew.

This act of deception set off a series of familial conflicts, particularly between the brothers.


What were Isaac's goals?

In Genesis, the story goes that Jacob dressed up in goatskin and in one of Esau (his elder brother)'s shirts in order to fool his father, Isaac, into giving him Esau's rightful blessing, which Esau sold to Jacob for a bowl of soup. Isaac felt the goatskin and smelled the shirt and thinking that Jacob was really his elder son Esau, gave him the blessing. The blessing basically consisted of protection and prosperity, but the important thing is that Isaac said that he would have dominion over his brother. when Esau found out, he was furious because Jacob had officially been given authority over him.


What is the difference between the birthright and the blessing as it relates to the historical context of Jacob and Esau?

Ancient Hebrews practiced a patriarchal order. The "birthright" by tradition belonged to the first-born son and was a type or symbol of the relationship between God and His first-born Son. The inheritance generally included land and a larger portion of flocks and other possessions than other sons would receive. Patriarchal prophets also gave their sons blessings to both pass along the covenants made with Abraham, as well as to provide inspired guidance with respect to their future lives and legacies. In the case of Jacob and Esau, the birthright and the blessing both passed to Jacob even though he was the younger of the twins. The birthright passed to Jacob through the careless act of Esau. Esau was famished after being "in the field" and actually traded away his birthright for a serving of pottage that his brother had made. (Genesis 25:29-34) The blessing was given under different circumstances. With Isaac's eyesight failing, Rebekah was determined that her more spiritual son would receive the blessing. To that end, she clothed Jacob in woolen clothing or skins to hide his "smoothness." She then helped him prepare a meal of venison - Isaac's favorite - and had him present it to Isaac. Isaac then gave the desired blessing to Jacob. When Esau returned and sought the blessing from his father, the deception was discovered. Yet, Isaac knew that the blessing had been given to the deserving individual. Esau had lived in rebellion of certain commandments, and would not have prospered under the blessing apparently intended for Jacob, who would later become Israel and the father of a great nation. (Genesis 27:1-40)
