“And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,”
Rebekah said to her son Jacob: look, I overheard your father say to your brother Esau. The disclosure of what she heard is the beginning of the plan. Rebekah does not pray; she schemes. The character who prayed in Genesis 25:22 when the pregnancy was confusing now acts without prayer when the opportunity is at hand. The application: the shift from prayer to scheming in the face of a recognized opportunity is one of the most common forms of faith-failure. The woman who inquired of the LORD now inquires only of Jacob.
