Reading Genesis 26 started to make me think that Isaac was Abraham and Rebecca was Sarah . I mean, did the bible lose it's creativity here? At least we know that Isaac made his Wife act like his sister so they could spare there lives. Luckily they didn't need to do that in the first place, so what is this fear that is being passed down the family genes?

Rebecca was obviously not a understanding woman as she deceived her husband and son. Even though the Bible states no specific reason why she loved Jacob more , but I think that is has something to do with Jacob always staying home while his brother is always out hunting. Since the role of a woman was to stay close to home and take care of things there, she was able to be close to her son Jacob , which led to favoring him. I think her speech in Genesis 27 was important because it might be trying to say that forgiveness takes patience.
