Divided Families - 1

Isaac and Rebekah

Genesis 25:28 

Isaac, who had a taste for wild game, loved Esau, but Rebekah loved Jacob.

Please read Genesis 27:1-46

Jacob and Wives

Genesis 29:31 

When the LORD saw that Leah was not loved, he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.

Genesis 30:1 

When Rachel saw that she was not bearing Jacob any children, she became jealous of her sister. So she said to Jacob, “Give me children, or I'll die!”

Genesis 37:1-4 

1 Jacob lived in the land where his father had stayed, the land of Canaan.

2 This is the account of Jacob. Joseph, a young man of seventeen, was tending the flocks with his brothers, the sons of Bilhah and the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives, and he brought their father a bad report about them.

3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than any of his other sons, because he had been born to him in his old age; and he made a richly ornamented robe for him. 

4 When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him.

Moses and Zipporah

Exodus 4:24-26 

24 At a lodging place on the way, the LORD met Moses and was about to kill him. 

25 But Zipporah took a flint knife, cut off her son's foreskin and touched Moses’ feet with it. “Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me,” she said. 

26 So the LORD let him alone. (At that time she said “bridegroom of blood,” referring to circumcision.)

Exodus 18:2 

After Moses had sent away his wife Zipporah, his father-in-law Jethro received her
