Isaac had two sons who were twins. The elder one being Esau and the younger one being Jacob. Isaac liked his first son Esau very much. But Rebekah, Isaac’s wife liked their second son Jacob very much. As years passed by, Isaac grew old and wanted to bless his first son Esau before he dies. So he asks him to prepare tasty food that he likes and bring it to eat so that he can give his blessings.
Rebekah overhears Isaac's talk and tells her younger son Jacob about it and to somehow own Esau’s blessings. So Jacob wore Esau’s clothes and went with the food that his mother had prepared to Isaac.
Isaac mistakes Jacob for Esau and blesses him. Jacob then flees from his homeland to his mother’s brother Laban’s homeland.

The Other Angle of the Story of Moses- How Moses met his wife Zipporah
When Moses was a baby, there was an order sent by Pharaoh that the first born of every Israelite first born boy baby has to be killed. So the family of Moses put him in a basket and saw him through the river pass by. The basket flowed through the river and reached the hands of one of the Princesses. The princess took the baby and ordered her maid to clad him with the best linen. So Moses grew up in the palace like one among the Prince and Princesses and was taught all kinds of art.
One day due to some reason the Pharaoh gets angry with Moses and decides to kill him. So that time, Moses flees to a neighboring city named Midian. There in the city while he was sitting by the well, the seven daughters of the Priest of Midian come to draw water and fill the troughs to water their father’s flock.. So some shepherds came along and drove them away, but Moses came to their rescue and watered their flock.
When the girls returned to Reuel their father, he asked them, “Why have you returned so early today?” They answered, “An Egyptian rescued us from the shepherds. He even drew water for us and watered the flocks.”
“And where is he?” he asked his daughter.” Why did you leave him? Invite him to have something to eat.”
Moses agreed to stay with the man, who gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses in marriage. Zipporah gave birth to a son, and Moses named him Gershom, saying, “I have become an alien in a foreign land.”
During that time, the King of Egypt died. To know how Moses drew his people, the Israelites out of slavery, read the bible.
