Abraham rebounded from unwise choices (Gen. 12:10-13:4). 3. Abraham was not greedy to the point of strife with his nephew, Lot (Gen. 13:5-12). 4.

11 MOVEMENT: PATRIARCHS (#2 OF 12 MOVEMENTS) SUBJECT: JACOB (ISRAEL) JACOB (ISRAEL) - MAN OF DECEPTION (refer to Jer. 9: deception) 1. Jacob played on his brother s weakness for immediate physical and sensual gratification;.esau sold his birthright to Jacob for a bowl of stew. (Gen. 25:21-34) 2. Jacob (with his mother s help) tricked his father (Isaac) into believing that he was his brother (Esau);.Jacob received his father s unalterable, binding blessing. (Gen. 27:1-40) 3. Jacob left his father and mother to seek out a wife from Rebekah s family; Rebekah used a deceptive.excuse to get Jacob away from his angry, vengeful brother, Esau. (Gen. 27:41-46) 4. Jacob was deceived by his father-in-law, Laban; he received Leah (not Rachel) for his wife... family trait of deception? (Gen. 29:14-30) 5. Jacob made an agreement with Laban concerning personal ownership of the numerous sheep of their.joint flock; further, Jacob attempted (superstitiously) to influence the birth of spotted, dark sheep through ingenious, devious means. (Gen. 30:25-43) 6. Jacob, in fear of Laban s sons and Laban himself, deceived his father-in-law and secretly ran.away with his wives and all that he had accumulated. (Gen. 31:1-21; especially v.20; cf. 31:25-30) 7. Jacob s wife, Rachel, stole the family gods of Laban... family trait of deception? (Gen. 31:31-32) Note: Jacob s life changed forever with the encounter and wrestling with the angel ( man...pre-incarnate Christ?) at Peniel ( face of God ); with brother, Esau, and 400 men coming to meet.him, the deceiver, conniver Jacob, had come to the end of himself - the end of his human abilities to secure his own welfare; with this wrestling.encounter, Jacob becomes Israel ( he strives with God ). 39

13 MOVEMENT: PATRIARCHS (#2 OF 12 MOVEMENTS) SUBJECT: JOSEPH JOSEPH - MAN OF CHARACTER 1. Joseph may have been given special responsibility over his brothers ( pasturing his brothers among the flocks??); nevertheless, he was faithful to bring to his father a report, even a bad one. (Gen. 37:2) 2. Joseph s forthrightness and honesty compelled him to share faithfully, fully and accurately his seemingly, self-serving dreams. (Gen. 37:5-11) 3. Joseph was a faithful servant of Potiphar, one that was trusted by his master and one to whom all was entrusted (except food...and wife). (Gen. 39:1-6a) 4. Joseph repeatedly refused the advances of Potiphar s wife; when caught by his cloak, he streaked away. (Gen. 39:6b-12) 5. Joseph s faithfulness and integrity in Potiphar s household may have saved his life; others accused of such a crime would have been put to death, not Joseph; prison instead of death may be an evidence of Potiphar s questions about his wife. (Gen. 39:13-20a) 6. Joseph was appointed to a place of responsibility in prison-- this may be a further evidence of his trustworthiness and integrity. (Gen. 39:20b-23) 7. Joseph was trusted by the captain of the guard and was responsible to attend to Pharaoh s chief cup bearer and chief baker. (Gen. 40:1-4a) 8. Joseph, when brought before Pharaoh to interpret his dream, did not take the credit for the ability but acknowledged that God could and would give the answer (interpretation). (Gen. 41:1-16) 9. Joseph was placed in authority over Egypt next only to Pharaoh; he faithfully fulfilled his important duties. (Gen. 41 :46-57) 10. Joseph entertained his brothers request for grain yet withheld his identity; he tested his brothers truthfulness through an elaborate ruse (Gen ); when Joseph revealed his true identity, he embraced his brothers and did not seek revenge. (Gen ; Gen. 45:1-15) 11. Upon the death of his father, Jacob (Israel), Joseph did not exact revenge as his brothers feared. (Gen. 50:15-21) 41
