Why did Esau desire to kill Jacob?
Because Jacob devised a plan to get his birthright, first. Then when Isaac was old, he intended to bless Esau. Jacob, with the help of his mother Rachel, tricked Isaac into blessing him. The father's blessing was a very important event.
What did abrahams son Isacc do?
In his old age Isaac was visually impared and so unknowingly gave his blessing to the younger son Jacob rather than the Eldest son Esau, because Jacob and his mother divised a plan to trick Isaac into giving Jacob the blessing. When Esau came back from hunting an realised what had happened he beg his father if there was any blessing left for him but there wasnt, so Esau planned to kill his brother Jacob for stealing his blessing. When the mother (Rebekah) learned of this she sent Jacob away to another land where his uncle lived. For details on as to how Isaac was tricked etc read Genesis Chapter 27. Hope the above answered your question:-)
What does the story of Jacob and Esau symbolize?
It's at Genesis 25:19-34 & 27:1-45. Jacob and Esau were twins. When their mother was pregnant with them, God told her that there were two babies in her and that the older would serve the younger. This was pretty much unheard of back then. Since Esau was born first, he was to get the blessing/inheritance from his father Isaac. A blessing from the father was a really big deal. Esau was Isaac's favorite. A manly man. Jacob was his mothers favorite. Not a sissy but not as rough as his brother. As Isaac got older his eyesight failed. Esau was came in very hungry and was willing to give away everything for a meal. This is when Jacob told him to trade his birthright for a meal. Esau, like so many of us, live for the moment and make rash decisions. Obviously Esau didn't really mean it, he just said it to get a meal. But he did say it. In chapter 27 it is told about the deception of Isaac. The deception was actually their mothers idea, Rebekah. She loved Jacob more that Esau and she wanted Jacob to get the blessing. This would also fulfill what God had told her. If Jacob got the birthright then he would be over his brother just as God had told. Not everything has to make sense to us because we cannot presume to have the same understanding as God. Everything that happens has to have a chain of events and God sees that they come true. Keep reading and you will see what troubles this deception has caused Jacob. But God has a plan.
How did Jacob and Rebekah trick Isaac the second time?
Rivka (Rebecca) wanted Yaakov (Jacob) to receive Yitzchak's (Isaac's) blessings, because she felt that Yaakov was the more deserving son and she had heard a prophecy to that effect (Genesis ch.25). Yaakov agreed to cooperate with Rivka's plan because Esau had sold him the birthright (ibid.), making him first in line for the blessings. So Yaakov carried food in to his aged father Yitzchak (Genesis ch.27) and spoke as if he was Esau.
How can God love Jacob and hate esau Just as it is written 'Jacob I Loved but Esau I hated.' Romans 913 NASB?
We see that God loved Jacob and hated Esau not because of anything that they did, but because of "God's purpose according to His choice," (v. 11). Is this fair for God to do? Yes it is.First of all, whatever God does is fair. God can do no wrong, so if He loves one and hates another, it is fair. Second, God owes us nothing. He is not obligated to love anyone. He loves out of the freedom of His will and plan, not because of anything in us. He loves because of what is in Him. Third, all people are by nature children of wrath (Eph. 2:3). This means that because we are all fallen and because we are all sinners, the "fair" thing to do is to let us all go to hell. Fairness deals with what is right. Since it is only God who is holy and pure and right, and not us, it is perfectly fair that all of us sinners be judged and condemned by God. But, God does not choose to do that. Instead, He sent His only begotten Son to die for our sins so that we might be saved (John 3:16; 1 Peter 2:24).So, yes it is fair that God loves one and hates another. It is not fair, however, that God would send His Son to die for us so that we might be saved. That wasn't fair. That was sacrificial love.http://www.carm.org/questions/about-god/it-fair-god-love-jacob-and-hate-esauAnother answer is, God chose Jacob and not Esau (which came here hated, but if we read it carefully it is: "for though the twins were not yet born, and had not done anything good or bad, in order that God's purpose according to His choice might stand, not because of works, but because of Him who calls, 12it was said to her, "The older will serve the younger." 13Just as it is written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated," (Rom. 9:11-13, NASB). So they had not done anything good or bad in order for God to hate Esau and love Jacob. So why did God choose Jacob instead of Esau? Because Jacob doesn't deserve. To show that the coming of Jesus Christ to the world did not depend on who deserves, but depended on the grace of God for all the people. Does this mean that God will refuse Esau in the eternal life? No, I believe we will find Esau in the heaven. Did God refuse Esau in earth? We saw that God gave him alot and alot. So here we see the plan of God for people, that God chose to come to the world from Abraham, from Isaac, from Jacob who does not deserve. But did the Christ came to chosen and certain people? ofcourse not, the Christ came for everyone who believes in him and believes in the grace of God.

What is Jacob's story from the Bible?
This information provides a small sampling of Jacob's contribution's and shortfalls from the Book of Gen. Key Scriptures: Genesis 25-31 Jacob -- His name means "He Grasps the Heel" (Figuratively, "He Deceives") Genesis 27:6-23(NKJV) Jacob. Though destined to supplant his brother, Jacob tarnished his name to mean "deceitful" through cunning efforts to gain his brother's privilege (Genesis 25:26) (25:29--34; 27:1--40). His Work: Jacob served as an indentured servant of his Uncle Laban for 14 years, Jacob was a herdsman His Character: Jacob learned the art of cunning and deception. In stealing the paternal blessing from his older brother, Jacob was forced run experiencing the consequences of his behavior. His Sorrow: After seven years of hard labor as payment for Rachel, Jacob was deceived by her father; Laban and was forced to work seven more years. During these years he learned first-hand what his own deception had brought on his brother. Later in his life he thought he had lost his own son Joseph to an attack by a wild animal. His Triumph: His twelve sons Gen 35:22-26 See also Gen 29:32-35; Gen 30:3-13; Gen 35:16-18 The grandson of Abraham and son of Isaac, who was chosen by God, despite his personal faults and shortcomings, to be the recipient of the promises made to Abraham. He encounters God at Bethel Gen 28:10-22 The encounter with God at Bethel confirms that Jacob has received the promise made to Abraham, and that Jacob has accepted his role of bearer of that promise to future generations. Jacob is an outstanding illustration of the presence and conflict of the two natures within a believer. Similar to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde of Robert Louis Stevenson's story, Jacob is good and bad; he rises and falls, yet in spite of his failures was a chosen instrument. Jacob's character then, is full of interest and difficulty because of its weakness and strength. His is not a life to be described by a single word as, for example, the faith of Abraham or the purity of Joseph. Jacob seemed to have a various qualities to his life. He was a man of guile, yet a man of prayer. Inconsistencies are everywhere. His life began with a prophetic revelation of God to his mother, but Jacob's early years were a singular mixture of good and bad---the bad being very corrupt. I. Jacob was the victim of his mother's partiality. "Rebekah loved Jacob" (Gen. 25:28). This fault must be kept in mind as we judge his character. II. Jacob was selfish. When his brother came in from the fields faint with hunger, Jacob would not give him food without bargaining over it. III. Jacob was naturally crafty and deceitful. He violated his conscience when he allowed his mother to draw him away from the path of honor and integrity. He practiced deception upon his blind father with the covering of kid skins. Then he told a deliberate lie in order to obtain a spiritual blessing. He further sinned upon most sacred ground, when he blasphemously used the name of the Lord to further his evil plans. The thoroughness with which he carried out his mother's plan is one of the worst features in the life of this misguided son. "Had it been me," says Martin Luther, "I would have dropped the dish." It would have been better for Jacob had he dropped that dish of venison. But his proficiency in evil doing is to be despised. In the life of this sharp trader who mended his ways, for there were two remarkable spiritual experiences in his life---at Bethel and Peniel---the preacher might find the following points suggestive: Jacob cheated (Gen. 25:29-34); deceived (Gen. 27:1-29); was compelled to flee (Gen 27:43; 28:1-5); was brought on to a higher level (Gen 28:10-22); had a romance spoiled, and was paid back in his own coin of deception (Gen. 29:15-30); was affectionate (Gen. 29:18); was industrious (Gen. 31:40); was prayerful (Gen. 32:9-12, 24-30); received a divine call to the promised land (Gen. 31); was disciplined by God through affliction (Gen. 37:28; 42:36); was a man of faith (Heb. 11:21); was blessed with sons who became the foundation of a nation. The Hebrew nation is spoken of as "the sons of Jacob" and "the children of Israel" (Gen. 48; 49; Num.. 24:19).
