The stories of the Patriarchs are fascinating to read. Abraham has some great adventures. Isaac after nearly getting sacrificed by Abraham has a pretty good life and becomes very wealthy. It seems he isn't the best father though, showing favoritism to his one son. He has twins and both of them are real pieces of work. One is into his own thing and the other is a deceiver like his mother who sets up the great death bed deception and also like his father and grand-father who deceived rulers by passing off their wives as their sisters. Genesis reads like an episode out of Desperate Housewives at some points. At the same time they were great men of faith that truly trusted in God. They were sinners and saints who struggled with their desires. Yet we see how God works through them. More proof that God is the one who is truly great and not us.
