These verses are a reflection to the relationship among family members. First, Rebekah was not obedient to her husband. She knew the one whom Isaac wanted to bless was Esau but she hoaxed his husband since she was in favor of Jacob.
Second, Rebekah didn’t treat her two sons fairly. Her favoring the younger one led to unforgivable sin. Why didn’t Isaac punish Jacob for his taking advantage of his older brother twice? Children expect to receive equal parental love. No wonder Esau felt he didn’t get what he deserved.
Finally, Jacob was wrong, but if Esau’s anger and hatred toward him never ended, there wouldn’t be harmonious relationship in the family. That’s probably why Isaac blessed Esau this way, “… you shall serve your brother; but when you break loose you shall break his yoke from your neck."

雅各二度使詐騙取父親的祝福,在這事件中,你看到有何家庭問題(夫妻、親子、兄弟)?你有看法與提醒?
....母親似乎比較袒護雅各,且這2兄弟間為了接受父親的蒙福起了個爭執.
....如果父親及母親都以同樣的教養方式對待這2兄弟,或許就不會發生這些事情.
...這似乎也會在現代的豪門世家中發生.
