Jacob is included in Hebrews 11 for his obedience to God in the way he blessed the sons of Joseph. Finally, Jacob was willing to cast himself on God’s word in spite of the circumstances. It was pure, unadulterated faith in God’s word that brought Jacob from heel-catcher to God-governed. Genesis 25-35, 47,48; Hebrews 11. LF-0091 © Copyright 1978
