(eternal marriage) through the selection of a worthy wife for Isaac.
Rebekah receives a revelation concerning her unborn
twin sons. When these sons are grown, Esau sells his birthright
to Jacob.
Isaac and his descendants are promised the blessings of the Abrahamic covenant. Esau marries out of the covenant and brings sadness to his parents

Isaac pronounces on Jacob the blessings of the Abrahamic covenant and sends him away to find a worthy wife
