Day 011 - Genesis 27-28

The direction that the story began heading in yesterday is fleshed out further as Jacob continues to steal his brother's position with some help from his scheming mother. God is noticeable by his absence for most of the proceedings and only turns up when it's a done deal and Jacob is running away from his angry brother and looking to find himself a wife. He doesn't then condemn Jacob for what he's done either, but promises to bless him in the same way that he did his father and grandfather. I suppose that in spite of his cheating Jacob's response to God is the right one as he recognises his position and wants to worship God (even if he does put some conditions on it).
