Hi, campers!
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
Welcome to Bible Gems.
00:00:02.73\00:00:04.57
Today, we're
going to learn about
00:00:04.60\00:00:06.37
Jacob and his twin Esau.
00:00:06.40\00:00:10.17
Julie, what are you doing?
00:00:10.21\00:00:12.11
I'm opening the
program, like you do.
00:00:12.14\00:00:15.48
I don't sound like that.
00:00:15.51\00:00:17.08
Oh, hush, Julie.
00:00:17.11\00:00:18.45
I'm trying to tell the story.
00:00:18.48\00:00:20.45
No, no, no, I'm
Tiara, you're Julie.
00:00:20.48\00:00:23.72
You made me lose my place.
00:00:23.75\00:00:25.32
What was I talking about?
00:00:25.35\00:00:26.92
Okay, Julie, give me the wig.
00:00:26.96\00:00:28.72
Only for your birthright.
00:00:28.76\00:00:30.33
Julie, it's not funny
anymore. It's not funny anymore.
00:00:30.36\00:00:32.76
Stop that! Stop that!
00:00:32.79\00:00:34.43
Julie, give me the wig.
00:00:34.46\00:00:35.80
Julie, stop it!
00:00:35.83\00:00:37.57
It's my wig! Cut it out!
00:00:37.60\00:00:39.77
We are also going to learn about
00:00:39.80\00:00:41.60
how Jacob deceived his
father, little hooligan.
00:00:41.64\00:00:46.01
Julie, you can't
tell them the whole story.
00:00:46.04\00:00:47.88
You're going to give it away.
00:00:47.91\00:00:49.44
Julie, hush now, child.
00:00:49.48\00:00:51.68
I'm Tiara. Would
you give me the wig?
00:00:51.71\00:00:53.82
What, no, no, no!
00:00:53.85\00:00:56.08
Stop it! Stop it! Oh!
00:00:56.12\00:00:58.42
Stay tuned to see what
happens with Jacob and Esau.
00:00:58.45\00:01:01.29
Oh!
00:01:01.32\00:01:03.16
Bible Gems is up next.
00:01:03.19\00:01:05.23
Ah! Give me the wig!
00:01:05.26\00:01:07.46
Welcome to Bible Gems. Yes!
00:01:28.78\00:01:33.72
So we are going
to have fun today.
00:01:33.76\00:01:35.92
I think... What?
00:01:35.96\00:01:37.33
Uncle Aaron, what's
our story about today?
00:01:37.36\00:01:40.30
Today, we're going to
learn about the dangers of lying
00:01:40.33\00:01:44.17
within the story of Jacob.
00:01:44.20\00:01:45.53
Ooh, that sounds exciting.
00:01:45.57\00:01:47.54
Let's get started
with our memory verse.
00:01:47.57\00:01:50.64
Okay.
00:01:50.67\00:01:52.01
Lying lips, lying lips
00:01:52.04\00:01:56.14
Are abomination to the Lord
00:01:56.18\00:01:59.95
But they that deal truly
00:01:59.98\00:02:04.62
Are His delight
00:02:04.65\00:02:08.76
Lying lips, lying lips
00:02:08.79\00:02:12.89
Are abomination to the Lord
00:02:12.93\00:02:16.43
But they that deal truly
00:02:16.46\00:02:21.10
Are His delight
00:02:21.14\00:02:25.61
Proverbs 12:22
00:02:25.64\00:02:31.85
Right.
00:02:38.72\00:02:40.06
Thank you for sharing
that memory verse song.
00:02:40.09\00:02:41.56
That was great.
00:02:41.59\00:02:42.92
Do you guys think that
was a good song to learn?
00:02:42.96\00:02:45.06
Yes. Amen.
00:02:45.09\00:02:47.33
Hmm. It's time
for our Bible Gem.
00:02:47.36\00:02:49.60
And that means
we're missing something.
00:02:49.63\00:02:51.20
What could it be?
00:02:51.23\00:02:52.63
Well, I think we're
missing our treasure chest
00:02:52.67\00:02:55.74
full of Bible Gems.
00:02:55.77\00:02:57.21
You're right,
Uncle Aaron. He's right.
00:02:57.24\00:02:59.04
I'll go get that
right now. Right.
00:02:59.07\00:03:01.51
Somebody better help her.
00:03:01.54\00:03:03.35
Oh my, it's big and heavy.
00:03:03.38\00:03:04.71
Can someone come help me?
00:03:04.75\00:03:06.58
Oh.
00:03:06.61\00:03:10.32
Oh, I love treasures.
Do you like treasures?
00:03:10.35\00:03:12.59
Yes.
00:03:12.62\00:03:13.96
Look at this. It
takes all of us to carry it.
00:03:13.99\00:03:16.12
Wow!
00:03:16.16\00:03:17.66
That's got to be some treasure.
00:03:17.69\00:03:20.30
All right, let's
set it down carefully.
00:03:20.33\00:03:23.37
Oh.
00:03:23.40\00:03:25.30
I wonder what it could be!
00:03:25.33\00:03:28.10
Can we open it, Uncle Aaron?
00:03:28.14\00:03:30.07
Let's do it. Let's see.
00:03:30.11\00:03:31.54
You guys want to open it?
00:03:31.57\00:03:33.11
Go ahead.
00:03:33.14\00:03:34.51
Tell me what's inside.
00:03:34.54\00:03:35.88
Whoa!
00:03:35.91\00:03:37.25
Wow!
00:03:37.28\00:03:38.61
Look at all that.
00:03:38.65\00:03:39.98
All kinds of gems.
00:03:40.02\00:03:41.58
But, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa,
00:03:41.62\00:03:42.95
what's that scroll right there?
00:03:42.98\00:03:44.32
Wow.
00:03:44.35\00:03:45.99
Guys, everyone,
look at the scroll.
00:03:46.02\00:03:47.59
This is the true treasure.
00:03:47.62\00:03:49.29
That's the
biggest treasure of all.
00:03:49.32\00:03:50.93
This is the biggest one.
00:03:50.96\00:03:52.49
Is that the real Hebrew Bible?
00:03:52.53\00:03:54.33
Yeah, this is the
Hebrew Scriptures.
00:03:54.36\00:03:57.00
All right.
00:03:57.03\00:03:58.37
Hey, who wants to
hear a Bible story?
00:03:58.40\00:04:02.07
I do! That's right.
00:04:02.10\00:04:05.01
Here we have a story
in the Hebrew Scriptures.
00:04:05.04\00:04:10.91
And there's a story that
we're going to learn today
00:04:10.95\00:04:13.31
about lying.
00:04:13.35\00:04:16.08
There was a man
by the name of Jacob.
00:04:16.12\00:04:19.85
In fact, Jacob's name means...
00:04:19.89\00:04:22.69
Does anyone know?
00:04:22.72\00:04:26.16
Jacob's name means deceiver.
00:04:26.19\00:04:29.20
A deceiver is someone who lies.
00:04:29.23\00:04:32.03
Now Jacob, was Jacob
00:04:32.07\00:04:35.87
the only son of Isaac?
00:04:35.90\00:04:38.21
Yes or no?
00:04:38.24\00:04:40.18
No. No.
00:04:40.21\00:04:41.54
Who can tell me the
other brother's name?
00:04:41.58\00:04:44.98
Let's go with Zachary.
00:04:45.01\00:04:46.45
Esau. Esau.
00:04:46.48\00:04:48.32
That's exactly right.
00:04:48.35\00:04:49.98
Who knows
00:04:50.02\00:04:52.45
or who here
knows what a twin is?
00:04:52.49\00:04:56.16
A twin.
00:04:56.19\00:04:57.53
So Esau and Jacob
were actually twins.
00:04:57.56\00:05:01.56
Whoa!
00:05:01.60\00:05:02.93
That means that they are
born at the exact same time
00:05:02.96\00:05:05.73
from their mom.
00:05:05.77\00:05:08.44
Now do all twins
look exactly identical?
00:05:08.47\00:05:11.71
No. No.
00:05:11.74\00:05:13.17
There can be a twin
00:05:13.21\00:05:14.61
that one is a
girl and one's a boy
00:05:14.64\00:05:17.25
or sometimes a boy and a
boy and a girl and a girl,
00:05:17.28\00:05:19.55
but they can actually
look a little bit different.
00:05:19.58\00:05:22.28
Jacob and Esau were twins,
but they look quite different.
00:05:22.32\00:05:27.56
As they grew up,
Rebecca, the mother,
00:05:27.59\00:05:33.40
loved one of her two
sons more than the other.
00:05:33.43\00:05:36.50
Oh, that's not good, Uncle Aaron
00:05:36.53\00:05:38.27
Yeah.
00:05:38.30\00:05:39.63
Does that ever
lead to anything good?
00:05:39.67\00:05:41.00
'Cause Jesus
loves us all the same.
00:05:41.04\00:05:42.37
That's right.
00:05:42.40\00:05:43.74
Who believes that Jesus
loves all of us the same?
00:05:43.77\00:05:46.11
That's right.
00:05:46.14\00:05:47.48
He has love for all
the boys and the girls
00:05:47.51\00:05:49.48
and all the people in the world.
00:05:49.51\00:05:51.51
Now let me grab, over here,
00:05:51.55\00:05:54.58
we have some skin.
00:05:54.62\00:05:57.89
The Bible tells us that
Esau was a really hairy guy,
00:05:57.92\00:06:02.09
just like this.
00:06:02.12\00:06:03.46
This is...
00:06:03.49\00:06:04.83
I believe this is some goatskin.
00:06:04.86\00:06:06.19
And this is some rugged stuff.
00:06:06.23\00:06:08.56
So you want to pass
this around and get a feel.
00:06:08.60\00:06:10.67
This is what
Esau felt like, right?
00:06:10.70\00:06:13.27
Wow, that was one hairy man.
00:06:13.30\00:06:16.81
Yes, Esau was tough.
00:06:16.84\00:06:19.77
Now one day,
00:06:19.81\00:06:22.84
when Esau was out hunting,
00:06:22.88\00:06:26.28
he came back from
being out and hunting
00:06:26.31\00:06:29.05
and doing things
and he was really tired.
00:06:29.08\00:06:32.02
And typically,
when you get tired,
00:06:32.05\00:06:34.39
you also get hungry.
00:06:34.42\00:06:37.13
Amen.
00:06:37.16\00:06:38.49
Do any of you get hungry
00:06:38.53\00:06:39.86
when you're outside and playing?
00:06:39.89\00:06:41.56
That's right. Yes.
00:06:41.60\00:06:43.03
That's good.
00:06:43.06\00:06:44.40
And so he came back
and Jacob was back at home
00:06:44.43\00:06:47.60
and he was cooking
a pot of red lentils.
00:06:47.64\00:06:51.84
Yeah. Anybody here like lentils?
00:06:51.87\00:06:54.28
Yeah. So Jacob was a good cook.
00:06:54.31\00:06:56.58
You know why?
00:06:56.61\00:06:57.95
Because he was a
mama's boy, right?
00:06:57.98\00:07:00.38
He spent time with his mom.
00:07:00.42\00:07:02.28
And he learned how
to cook a mean red stew.
00:07:02.32\00:07:05.12
And Jacob came back
from being out hunting
00:07:05.15\00:07:08.02
and he was tired
and he was hungry
00:07:08.06\00:07:09.39
and he came and he said,
00:07:09.42\00:07:11.39
"Jacob, give me
some of your food."
00:07:11.43\00:07:17.20
Who knows what
Jacob said to him?
00:07:17.23\00:07:21.44
Okay, let's give
the mic to Gavin.
00:07:21.47\00:07:25.47
I'll trade you some
for your birthright.
00:07:25.51\00:07:28.54
What? Is that
what he really said?
00:07:28.58\00:07:31.51
Man, what an unfair trade.
00:07:31.55\00:07:35.35
Just for a little pot
of stew, he said, "Okay,
00:07:35.38\00:07:37.42
I'll give you the food
00:07:37.45\00:07:38.82
if you'll give
me your birthright."
00:07:38.85\00:07:41.26
And to make matters even worse,
guess who agreed to this deal.
00:07:41.29\00:07:46.26
Esau. Esau did.
00:07:46.29\00:07:48.43
Ah, Esau despised his birthright
00:07:48.46\00:07:51.47
and he traded it
for a mere pot of stew.
00:07:51.50\00:07:53.74
Now a little bit
later in the story
00:07:53.94\00:07:56.57
when Isaac, their
dad was getting older
00:07:56.60\00:07:59.04
and older and older,
00:07:59.07\00:08:00.41
his eyesight began to
get really blurry, right?
00:08:00.44\00:08:04.25
He could hardly see.
00:08:04.28\00:08:06.21
And Jacob and Rebecca, his mom,
00:08:06.25\00:08:09.38
because remember,
Rebecca really loved Jacob,
00:08:09.42\00:08:12.19
they thought that
they could take advantage
00:08:12.22\00:08:13.79
of that situation.
00:08:13.82\00:08:15.26
So Isaac said, "You know,
00:08:15.29\00:08:16.62
I'm getting old and
I might be dying soon."
00:08:16.66\00:08:18.59
So he called in
Jacob and he says,"
00:08:18.63\00:08:20.00
Hey, Jacob, I want to bless you.
00:08:20.03\00:08:22.50
And with the blessing,
00:08:22.53\00:08:23.87
I want to have a
special meal with you.
00:08:23.90\00:08:25.23
So will you go
out..." And Excuse me?
00:08:25.27\00:08:28.64
You guys are listening.
00:08:28.67\00:08:30.61
You guys, you must
really read the Scriptures.
00:08:30.64\00:08:34.58
Esau was told to
go out and to hunt
00:08:34.61\00:08:38.85
and get an animal to come
back and to prepare a meal,
00:08:38.88\00:08:44.79
a special meal with
his with his father there.
00:08:44.82\00:08:47.76
Now Rebecca was
overhearing this conversation
00:08:47.79\00:08:52.16
that was taking place.
00:08:52.19\00:08:53.53
And she knew that, oh,
Jacob was supposed to be
00:08:53.56\00:08:57.47
the one who gets the birthright.
00:08:57.50\00:08:59.13
And so she called
Jacob aside and said,
00:08:59.17\00:09:01.07
"Hey, you're my favorite son
00:09:01.10\00:09:03.37
and we're going to
come up with a plot
00:09:03.41\00:09:06.04
and we're going to
deceive your father."
00:09:06.07\00:09:09.41
That never worked.
00:09:09.44\00:09:10.78
She would
deceive her own husband?
00:09:10.81\00:09:12.15
Can you believe it?
00:09:12.18\00:09:13.52
Rebecca thought to
deceive her own husband
00:09:13.55\00:09:16.28
and Jacob thought
to deceive his own dad.
00:09:16.32\00:09:19.59
Rebecca cooked up
the meal, and he said,
00:09:19.62\00:09:22.56
"Well, I can't go in
because Esau's really hairy.
00:09:22.59\00:09:25.76
And I'm just, you know,
00:09:25.79\00:09:27.23
not that hairy
and stuff like that.
00:09:27.26\00:09:29.10
I'm smooth-skinned, right?"
00:09:29.13\00:09:30.60
And so Rebecca
said, "Oh, what you'll do
00:09:30.63\00:09:33.30
is you'll get some
skin, some rough goatskin,"
00:09:33.34\00:09:36.94
or whatever, it
was goatskin, actually,
00:09:36.97\00:09:38.87
and she told
him, "Wrap it around,
00:09:38.91\00:09:41.64
wrap it around your
arm and around your neck,
00:09:41.68\00:09:45.85
and then go in.
00:09:45.88\00:09:47.22
And so when your father checks
to see if it's really Esau,
00:09:47.25\00:09:50.99
he'll come over and he'll feel,
00:09:51.02\00:09:52.92
'Hmm, yeah, I
guess that is Esau.'"
00:09:52.95\00:09:55.56
So...
00:09:55.59\00:09:56.93
Did he wear Esau's clothes too
00:09:56.96\00:09:59.06
so that he smelled like hunting?
00:09:59.09\00:10:01.03
Yeah, he got that burly
smell, that manly smell.
00:10:01.06\00:10:04.60
And he tried to...
00:10:04.63\00:10:06.47
I mean, they were
twins after all, right?
00:10:06.50\00:10:08.57
He tried to do as best of a job
00:10:08.60\00:10:10.34
to be like his
brother that he could.
00:10:10.37\00:10:11.87
And he went into that tent.
00:10:11.91\00:10:13.38
And he went right up
to his dad and he said,
00:10:13.41\00:10:15.51
"I'm ready for the birthright."
00:10:15.54\00:10:17.48
What did Isaac do?
00:10:17.51\00:10:19.78
Oh, Isaac smelled
something a little fishy.
00:10:19.81\00:10:24.55
He heard
something a little fishy
00:10:24.59\00:10:25.92
'cause he said, "Hmm,
this sounds like my son Jacob.
00:10:25.95\00:10:30.06
Is it really Esau?
00:10:30.09\00:10:31.86
Esau, is this really you?"
00:10:31.89\00:10:33.80
And what did Jacob say?
00:10:33.83\00:10:36.50
He lied straight
out of his teeth.
00:10:36.53\00:10:39.13
And he said, "Oh, I'm
Esau." He said, "Really?"
00:10:39.17\00:10:42.67
So he leaned over
and he felt his arm
00:10:42.70\00:10:45.67
and he's like, "Hmm,
00:10:45.71\00:10:47.04
yeah, that must be him
because this is so hairy."
00:10:47.08\00:10:50.88
And so then he
gave him the blessing
00:10:50.91\00:10:52.88
and they had the meal together.
00:10:52.91\00:10:54.62
And the birthright was given,
00:10:54.65\00:10:56.75
and eventually,
Esau did come back.
00:10:56.79\00:10:59.85
And do you think
he was happy or mad
00:10:59.89\00:11:02.79
when he found out that
Jacob took his birthright?
00:11:02.82\00:11:05.53
Oh, he was furious
and he was sad too.
00:11:05.56\00:11:09.06
He begged his father,
00:11:09.10\00:11:10.53
"Please, please,
please, bless me.
00:11:10.57\00:11:12.87
Bless me. Is there
any blessing left?"
00:11:12.90\00:11:15.07
And
unfortunately, although Isaac,
00:11:15.10\00:11:17.21
his father did bless him,
00:11:17.24\00:11:18.71
oh, it wasn't
anything of the splendor
00:11:18.74\00:11:23.11
and the amount and the
glory that was given to Jacob.
00:11:23.14\00:11:26.11
And so what ended up
happening is Esau was so angry,
00:11:26.15\00:11:29.85
he chased his brother away.
00:11:29.88\00:11:33.69
Even though Jacob ran
away, God still blessed him.
00:11:33.72\00:11:37.99
That's exactly right.
00:11:38.03\00:11:39.79
You see, friends,
even though sometimes
00:11:39.83\00:11:42.76
we make
mistakes, God still blesses
00:11:42.80\00:11:47.04
and works through our failures.
00:11:47.07\00:11:49.54
You know why?
00:11:49.57\00:11:50.91
That's how God loves us that
00:11:50.94\00:11:52.27
even when He died
on the cross for us,
00:11:52.31\00:11:53.68
He did it for us anyways
'cause He loves us so much.
00:11:53.71\00:11:55.81
Wow, Olivia, what a good point.
00:11:55.84\00:11:57.91
That's exactly right.
00:11:57.95\00:11:59.45
God's love for us is so great
00:11:59.48\00:12:01.48
that He's
extremely patient with us.
00:12:01.52\00:12:04.42
And He says, "I don't care
00:12:04.45\00:12:05.79
how long I have
to work for them.
00:12:05.82\00:12:07.16
I don't care what it
takes, but I'm going to work,
00:12:07.19\00:12:11.09
and I'm going to save,
and I'm going to be there
00:12:11.13\00:12:13.83
for my children."
00:12:13.86\00:12:15.46
Beautiful lesson. Now
we're running out of time.
00:12:15.50\00:12:18.40
So I'm going to
summarize the story
00:12:18.43\00:12:19.80
and get moving really quickly.
00:12:19.83\00:12:21.37
God said, "Jacob,
I want you to go back
00:12:21.40\00:12:24.34
to your family,
00:12:24.37\00:12:25.71
to Isaac, to Canaan,
to your brother Esau."
00:12:25.74\00:12:28.71
He said, "Oh, really? Okay."
00:12:28.74\00:12:30.38
So they got together
and they began to make
00:12:30.41\00:12:32.28
their way, that way.
00:12:32.31\00:12:33.65
But before they made
their way, all the way back,
00:12:33.68\00:12:36.05
Jacob went away to pray.
00:12:36.08\00:12:38.15
And as Jacob was
praying, what happened to him?
00:12:38.19\00:12:41.59
He was there praying,
00:12:41.62\00:12:42.96
and he was praying
and all of a sudden...
00:12:42.99\00:12:44.33
Bam!
00:12:44.36\00:12:45.69
A mystery man
came out of nowhere,
00:12:45.73\00:12:47.06
and he began to
wrestle with him,
00:12:47.10\00:12:48.76
and he was wrestling and
wrestling all night long.
00:12:48.80\00:12:53.34
And then finally as the day
was breaking, this mystery man,
00:12:53.37\00:12:56.27
"Ah," he touched Jacob's hip,
00:12:56.30\00:12:59.04
and there Jacob realized
he wasn't just wrestling
00:12:59.07\00:13:01.84
against a human, a man,
00:13:01.88\00:13:03.88
but he was
wrestling against who?
00:13:03.91\00:13:05.48
God. God Himself.
00:13:05.51\00:13:07.62
And there he realized
that God still loves me
00:13:07.65\00:13:11.75
and God changed his
name from deceiver to what?
00:13:11.79\00:13:14.46
To Israel To Israel.
00:13:14.49\00:13:15.92
Because, friends,
00:13:15.96\00:13:17.29
we don't
struggle against just man,
00:13:17.33\00:13:19.76
but if we
struggle with man and God,
00:13:19.79\00:13:22.56
we can be one who prevails
just like how Jacob did.
00:13:22.60\00:13:25.43
Who wants to be a prevailer,
just like how Jacob did
00:13:25.47\00:13:28.20
and he became Israel?
00:13:28.24\00:13:30.57
Amen.
00:13:30.61\00:13:32.67
That's all the
time we have for now.
00:13:32.71\00:13:34.54
See you again on Bible Gems.
00:13:34.58\00:13:37.05
Good job, kids.
