Reading
Genesis 25 and 27 (this is the main reading for this section about Jacob)
Thought
Although Jacob had great faith, he was a disinterested dad. He did not get involved in the lives of his children! Jacob was an impartial, unfair, disinterested dad...and the consequences were great.
Questions
1. Someone has categorized dads in four ways: neglectful, permissive, authoritarian, and biblical. Jacob was a mix of all four but leaned heavily on the neglectful side. Jacob was raised by a disinterested, neglectful dad and seemed to simply repeat how his father raised him. Who was Jacob's father? (Genesis 25:19)
2. How old was Isaac when Jacob was born? (Genesis 25:26)
3. According to Genesis 25:27-28, did Isaac seem more interested in his first son, Esau, than he was with Jacob?
4. Why did Isaac seem to be interested in Esau but disinterested in Jacob?
5. Jacob lived in a home where there was constant comparison. Describe the differences in looks, interests, and lifestyles between Jacob and Esau. (Genesis 25:24-34; 27:11-23)

5.well to me it seemed like Esau was a stronger tougher man who always wanted to please his dad and Jacob was more of a momma's boy and also loved his dad and the Lord very much. i think that Jacob just wanted the love from his father that he gave Esau.
