→‎the Flood: added Issac and Jacob (not done yet!)
Line 25: Line 25:     
Noah is also the first planter of a vineyard, and during a drunken sleep one of his sons (Ham) sees him naked.  Noah awakes with the knowledge as to what he had done, and places a curse upon his son Canaan, declaring that Canaan and his descendents would be slaves to the his brothers Shem and Japheth.

===Issac and Jacob===
 +
Isaac had prayed to God that He would deliver a child through Rebekah’s barren womb.  He does, and Rebekah gives birth to the twins Esau and Jacob; but prior to the birth God had predicted division between the two, with the elder serving the younger.  Esau, the elder, had despised his own birthright and sold it for a bowl of red porridge, allowing Jacob to enter his father’s tent and deceitfully take the blessing intended for Esau.  He flees to Haran, the home of his uncle Laban.  Along the way he has the dream of the ladder to Heaven, where God tells him of prosperity for himself and his descendants; he names the spot Bethel in commemoration.
