Genesis 28:2 Context
1And Isaac called Iacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and saide vnto him, Thou shalt not take a wife, of the daughters of Canaan. 2Arise, goe to Padan Aram, to the house of Bethuel thy mothers father, and take thee a wife from thence, of the daughters of Laban thy mothers brother. 3And God Almighty blesse thee, and make thee fruitfull, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people: 4And giue thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee and to thy seede with thee, that thou mayest inherit the lande wherein thou art a stranger, which God gaue vnto Abraham.

8 years AgoDewey JGeorge, the subject is not Isaac or any of his family though they all fail because of their selfish human means and favoritism by both parents. God told Rebekah from thee beginning before her sons were born and I am sure she told Isaac that the elder brother Esau would serve the younger Jacob Gen. 25:23. Therefore, that was God 's will because he knew Jacob would love and value him and his blessings far more than Esau. God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost is the subject of this story and every story in the Holy bible and his will.Flag

So that means that Jacob never recognised the Lord as his God before the dream ???Flag
