Genesis 27:30–46 – The Tears of Esau

Moments after Jacob secures the blessing, Esau returns to discover the irreversible loss. Isaac trembles, Esau weeps, and the bitter consequences of deception shake the household. Rebekah fears for Jacob’s life and sends him away to protect him from Esau’s vengeance. Despite the heartache and broken trust, God remains at work, guiding His covenant plan through the fallout.

The Rev. Ryan Fehrmann, pastor at St. Paul Lutheran Church and School in Bonduel, WI, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Genesis 27:30–46.
