The Bible but Make it Gen Z: Genesis Chapter 27 🎭✨
OMG bestie, the family drama just hit DIFFERENT. Grab your popcorn fr fr: 🍿
So Isaac was getting old and couldn't see anymore. He called his fave son Esau and was like "listen, I'm not gonna be around forever. Go hunt some food and make me that fire venison you know I love. Then I'll give you my final blessing before I pass."
Rebekah was listening the whole time (sneaky mom behavior fr) and as soon as Esau left to hunt, she went straight to her fave son Jacob with the tea: "Your dad's about to give Esau the blessing! But I got a plan..."
She told Jacob to get two goats and said "I'm gonna make your dad's fave meal, but you're gonna pretend to be Esau." Jacob was like "mom that's kinda sus... Esau's built different - he's all hairy and I'm smooth as a TikTok filter." 💀
But Rebekah wasn't hearing it: "Don't worry about the consequences bestie, I got you." Then she went FULL COSTUME DESIGNER:- Cooked the fake venison ✅- Put Esau's clothes on Jacob ✅- Made him wear goat skin to feel hairy ✅(She really said "we do a little trolling" fr fr)
Jacob pulled up to his blind dad like "hey it's me, your firstborn Esau" (lying straight to his face no cap). Isaac was sus about how quick he got the food, but Jacob blamed it on God's help (adding blasphemy to the scam, not a good look bestie).
Isaac was giving major doubt energy: "come here let me feel you" because something wasn't adding up. He was like "the voice is giving Jacob but the hands are giving Esau" but fell for it anyway.
After eating the food and drinking the wine, Isaac blessed Jacob thinking he was Esau, saying he'd:- Get the best of everything- Be the boss of his brothers- Have nations bow to him- Be blessed by everyone who blesses him
Plot twist - as soon as Jacob dipped, Esau came back with the REAL venison! The way Isaac SHOOK when he realized what went down... mans was TREMBLING fr fr. 😱
Esau's reaction was heartbreaking no cap. Mans started CRYING and was like "dad please tell me you got another blessing??" He went OFF about how Jacob's name literally means "supplanter" and how this was the second time Jacob played him (first the birthright, now this).
Isaac was like "sorry bestie, I already made him the boss... and I can't take it back" but Esau kept begging. Finally Isaac gave him a mid blessing about living by the sword and eventually breaking free from serving his brother.
Esau was PRESSED fr fr. Started plotting Jacob's deletion after their dad passed. But someone snitched to Rebekah about Esau's villain arc, so she told Jacob to run to her brother Laban's place until Esau calmed down.
Then Rebekah hit Isaac with the manipulation: "These local Hittite girls are giving me a headache. If Jacob marries one like Esau did, I literally can't." (She really said anything to get Jacob out safely, we stan a protective mom... even if she's lowkey toxic fr fr).
And that's how Jacob scammed his way into the family blessing and had to run for his life! The OG family drama no cap! 💅✨
