• Isaac had two dear sons. They were Esau and Jacob.
• Esau, his older son, was in unique need of a blessing, but Isaac decided to wait until he had provided him with some savoury food.
• Rebecca, Jacob's mother, overheard this discussion.
• She earnestly wished to secure this gracious favour for Jacob.
• To have enough goats to prepare something savoury, she pushed Jacob to go grab two of them.
• Jacob was then instructed by her to deliver the delectable meat to his blind father.
