As a person, Isaac was the type of man that hated to deal with conflict. This chapter shows him dealing a lot with what he liked the least—conflict. He has to be warned against going down into Egypt in order to avoid the troubles of famine. He then tells the same lie his father did in order to protect himself—except with Isaac, it was a complete lie. He makes a fortune, but has to deal with the envy of those who are jealous of him. Finally, he digs the wells of Abraham and has to battle over them. But…he prospers in the end. Watch this story and see how Isaac learns to deal with conflict in his life and how God blesses him in the end.<br />

This approach is part of God’s special design for the book of Exodus, but it can confuse the casual reader.

However, the bulk of our text deals with the furniture in the tabernacle and you can follow it in order under that topic below.<br />
