Day 15 - Read Genesis 25-26

Abraham gave all he had to Isaac. Isaac and Rebekah had twins named Esau and Jacob. Isaac loved Esau and Rebekah loved Jacob. Esau was a hunter and Jacob was a quiet man who dwelled in tents. Esau sold his birthright to Jacob for food. He did not value his birthright which included the blessings of his father. Isaac settled in Gerar. He told the people that Rebekah was his sister for fear they would kill him and take her. She was a beautiful woman. Abimelech, king of the Philistines, discovered Rebekah was Isaac’s wife. He confronted Isaac, then issued a warning that they were not to be harmed. God blessed Isaac and made him a powerful man. Abimelech sent him away and later made a covenant with him to insure peace between them.
