Observations and Questions:


Isaac told Abimelech that Rebekah is his sister, just like his father did, and Abimelech finds out.

Esau-hunter, Isaac loved
Jacob-stayed home, Rebekah loved

Esau sells his birthright to Jacob for stew
Jacob steals Esau's blessing--Was the blessing meant for Jacob to begin with? or could Esau have been renames Israel?

Jacob runs to Laban
He falls in love with Rachel, and works 7 years for her
Laban gives him Leah instead, then Rachel, for another 7 years of work

Leah had:
--Reuben--he has noticed my misery
--Simeon--one who hears
--Levi--being attached, feeling affection for
--Judah--praise
Bilhah, Rachel's servant, had:
--Dan--he judged
--Naphtali--my struggle
Zilpah, Leah's servant, had:
--Gad--good fortune
--Asher--happy
Leah had:
--Issachar--reward
--Zebulun--honor
--daughter-Dinah
Rachel had:
--Joseph--may he add
--Benjamin

Jacob leaves Laban because Laban's sons were angry he was earning everything.

Jacob sends gifts to Esau


Dinah is raped by Shechem, then asks to marry her
Her brothers are angry, but accept on the condition that every man in the city get circumcised
While they are unable to fight, Simeon and Levi kill every man in the city


Joseph

Dream 1:
bundles of grain, his brothers' bundles bow to his

Dream 2:
sun, moon, 11 stars bow to him

the brother plot to kill Joseph
Reuben tells them not to kill Joseph, but to let him die in a well, though he was planning to come back for him
Joseph was sold for 20 pieces of silver

Joseph's progression
--slave
--personal attendant
--all responsibility in Potiphar's house
--imprisoned
--in charge of all the prisoners
