Abraham dies and is buried next to Sarah. Isaak and Rebecca conceive and she gives birth to twins and names them Esau and Jacob. Foolishly, Esau sells his birthright to Jacob for a meal.
Isaak lies about Rebekah and his wealth was so great that Abimelech sends him away. He digs wells and the Lord blesses him at Beersheba.
Jacob and Rebekah deceive Isaak into giving Jacob his blessing. Esau is enraged and vows revenge. Rebekah warns Jacob to flee and go to her brother Laban.
Isaak sends Jacob to marry one of Laban's daughters. While on the way Jacob has a dream of a ladder reaching to heaven. He is blessed by God.
Jacob spends seven years working for Laban in order to marry Rachel. Laban gives him Leah instead and makes him work seven more for Rachel. Leah gives birth to sons.
Rachel's maid gives birth to sons for Jacob. Finally Rachel has a son as well and Laban permits Jacob to stay.
Jacob is told by God to return home and leaves in secret. Rachel takes Laban's idols with her. Laban chases after Jacob but they make a peace treaty.
Jacob is told that his brother Esau was coming to see him. He sends him gifts out of fear and that same night he wrestles with an angel who gives him the name Israel.
As Esau arrives with his men, Jacob bows down before him. But Esau runs to embrace him instead. Jacob then settles near Shechem and builds an altar to God.
Jacob's daughter Dinah is abducted and raped by Shechem. He then asks to marry her. Jacob's sons tell Shechem to circumcise his men and then Simeon and Levi kill them.
