亞伯拉罕 以撒 約瑟 雅各 嘅人物關係 + 生平
http://www.ebaomonthly.com/window/history/isreal/israel_04.htm
章主題仍在族長時代，但集中于亞伯拉罕三個後裔：以撒、雅各和約瑟。他們代表三個接續的世代，介於亞伯位罕及其後裔居留在埃及之間的這段時期。以撒、雅各和約瑟的世代不同，因?他們二人，在應許的繼承譜系之中是一脈單傳。而約瑟有十一個兄弟，一起屬於這譜系，每一個代表一族的首領。然而，約瑟因格外蒙眷顧，而有獨特地位，顯得特別重要，因神揀選他，施恩於他，所以聖經上提到他最多。
第一節 以 撒
（創廿五9～廿六35）
三人中有關以撒（注一）的事我們知道的最少。創世記中關於雅各和約瑟的記載比較多。因此，我們很容易就想到以撒是亞伯拉罕的兒子，或雅各的父親，而少想到他個人。的確以撒是族長中，最不顯著的一個。他沒什?勇敢的行動，或非凡的成就。但他仍然在以色列繼承連鎖上，是重要的一環，在聖經中，也與亞伯拉罕、雅各同被尊崇。他比另外兩人的壽命更長。
我們提到亞伯拉罕時，已經附帶了以撒生活各方面。現在我們繼續談談他父親去世之後的事。
一、雅各和以掃出生（創廿五21～34）
第一件記錄下來的事，是他的雙胞胎兒子雅各和以掃的出生。這是以撒與利百加婚後廿年，當他六十歲時生下的（創廿五26）。亞伯拉罕等了廿五年，才得到以撒，而以撒等了廿年才得雅各和以掃。以撒也像父親亞伯位罕一樣，在信心上受考驗，但他也繼續信靠上帝。聖經上說：「以撒因他妻子不生育，就?他祈求雅巍。」（創廿五21）。然而，他一定很難瞭解，?何上帝實現給他許多後裔的應許之前，要耽延這?久。最後，神聽以撒的禱告，利百加懷孕了。
這對雙胞胎，甚至未出生前，就在利百加腹內爭吵。她尋問這是什?意思，神告訴她這表示兩人的後裔，將在未來彼此?敵，而且長者要服事幼者。以掃先生下，雅各抓住他的腳跟（注二）。
