By false pretences, Jacob, with the help of his mother, received both the birth- right (lands, herds, storehouses and treasures) and also his father's blessing. Later, Jacob was shaken to the soul by the immensity of his deceit to his father and brother. Isaac soon - learned the truth and he and Esau wept over Jacob.

From thence, Jacob's life was filled with trouble but finally, after 20 years, Jacob returned home with all his possessions. Jacob made peace with Esau whom he had wronged.
