Chapter 27 is the record of human interference in God’s plans. Rebekah and Jacob thought God could not fulfil His promises unless they took a hand in it, a clear lack of faith, manifest at first also in Abraham, and nearly always found at the basis of all union of church and state. The human scheming resulted in life-long separation of mother and son, and great hardship to Jacob.
Chapters 28 to 32 are the records of Jacob’s trials and victories, resulting at last in complete change of heart, placing Jacob the supplanter among the Israel of God.
