# 4 _Before sending Jacob away, however, Isaac summoned his only ambitious and crafty son and blessed him again. Isaac apparently forgave his son's previous deceptive behavior and this time willingly repeated his original blessing. By this time Isaac had probably remembered and acknowledge that God had designated Jacob, even before his birth, as the heir.
# 5 _Then Isaac rehearsed some of the key covenant promises that God had made to him and Abraham (GENESIS 28:1__5). In doing so Isaac openly announced to the prime responsibility for the family's everlasting relationship with God (GENESIS 17:19). God was making sure no one forgot His promises to Abraham. He was formally passing them from one generation to the next.
# 6 _Isaac passed on the key conenant promises to Jacob: "May God Almighty bless you and make you fruitful and numerous, that you may be a company of peoples. May he give to you the blessing of Abraham, to you and to your offspring with you, so that you may take possession of the land where you now live as an alien__land that God gave to Abraham" (GENESIS 28:3__4).
