For you who knows the story of Jacob and Esau, please give your opinions or comments regarding my questions... Why did God let Jacob receive Isaac blessing while in facts Jacob was tricking a birthright from Esau and cheating to get a blessing from its father and God?.. I don't think that was a good example for peoples... But it seems that scenario works an legal in God eyes...

In my opinion, God has planned to give the blessing to Jacob. But, lacking of faith, Jacob tried to get the blessing with his own (and his mother's) way. I am still believe this is not legal in God's eyes. But a human failure responding to God's plan can't make God's plan fail. In other side I think Esau was too careless by exchanging his birthright with a red bean soup. This is an example of man who didn't respect God's grace.
