His commentary on this episode has some connection, I believe, with the Natural Law: \u0026quot;What goes around, comes around.\u0026quot; The deceit works substantially because Isaac is nearly blind, and Issac cannot see the difference between Esau and Jacob. The convention that Jacob and his mother break is that of the privilege of the first born regarding inheritance. Next step in the story, fleeing Esaus\u0026#39;s murderous intent, Jacob arrives at the household of his uncle, Laban. Falling deeply in love with Laban\u0026#39;s daughter Rachel, Jacob agrees with Laban to work for seven years to win her hand. On the night of the wedding, Laban gets Jacob so drunk that he is momentarily blind, and substitutes his less comely daughter Leah for the promised Rachel. Sobering up in the morning, Jacob bitterly complains about the deceit practiced by his uncle. Laban then reminds Jacob of an important convention: the privilege of the first born  daughter (Leah) to be the first given in marriage. Jacob\u0026#39;s deceit, that is, is shown by the Biblical story to have its own punishment. It is a tale with a moral message: don\u0026#39;t do unto others what you would not want them to do unto you, no?"},"link":[{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/648884752216444797\/5505996908128549035\/comments\/default\/5702443534401096048"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/648884752216444797\/5505996908128549035\/comments\/default\/5702443534401096048"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/bionicmosquito.blogspot.com\/2024\/08\/demonstrating-authority.html?showComment=1725671013988#c5702443534401096048","title":""}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Deacon Patrick"},"uri":{"$t":"https:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/07708653111827647244"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"16","height":"16","src":"https:\/\/img1.blogblog.com\/img\/b16-rounded.gif"}}],"thr$in-reply-to":{"xmlns$thr":"http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0","href":"http:\/\/bionicmosquito.blogspot.com\/2024\/08\/demonstrating-authority.html","ref":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-5505996908128549035","source":"http://www.blogger.com/feeds/648884752216444797/posts/default/5505996908128549035","type":"text/html"},"gd$extendedProperty":[{"name":"blogger.itemClass","value":"pid-1730047416"},{"name":"blogger.displayTime","value":"September 6, 2024 at 6:03 PM"}]},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-5389952000103770845"},"published":{"$t":"2024-09-05T16:27:52.301-07:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2024-09-05T16:27:52.301-07:00"},"title":{"type":"text","$t":"Bionic, \n\nI might be interested, but I rarely watc..."},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"Bionic, \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EI might be interested, but I rarely watch podcasts or videos.
