I always find it interesting that people romanticize that story... when it really was about manipulation, trickery and deceit on the part of just about everyone involved. Does anyone else find it ironic that Jacob dressed and pretended to be his brother in order to deceive his father and steal a blessing at his mother's prompting, and then later Leah pretends to be her sister in order to steal a husband (Jacob himself) at her father's prompting? Who needs Jerry Springer when you have the beginning of Israel to read about.
