Torah Portion (5785) - 06 Toldot (Joseph Shulam)

About this sermon

**Why did God choose Jacob over Esau? What does the Torah portion Toldot reveal about God's promises, family conflict, and His covenant with Israel?** In Genesis 25–28, we encounter one of the most significant family stories in Scripture. Isaac and Rebekah become parents to twin sons, Esau and Jacob, whose struggles begin before their birth and shape the future of the covenant people. Why does God declare that the older will serve the younger? What is the significance of Esau selling his birthright? And how do Jacob's actions surrounding Isaac's blessing fit into God's unfolding covenant promises? In this episode of *Biblical Truths*, Joseph Shulam explores Parashat Toldot through its Jewish and biblical context, examining the complicated relationships between Isaac, Rebekah, Esau, and Jacob. These passages invite us to consider God's faithfulness to His promises, the consequences of human choices, and the continuing story of Abraham's descendants. Join Joseph Shulam as we study the Torah and discover how these ancient accounts contribute to our understanding of God's covenant purposes. 📖 **Scripture Focus:** Genesis 25:19–28:9 🎙️ **Teacher:** Joseph Shulam 📚 **Series:** Biblical Truths | Episode 03 📜 **Torah Portion:** Toldot (תּוֹלְדֹת) 🏛️ **Collection:** Netivyah International | Joseph Shulam Archive **EXPLORE NETIVYAH INTERNATIONAL** Discover biblical teachings and resources: https://www.netivyahinternational.org Support biblical education and ministry: https://www.netivyahinternational.org/support-us Explore books and study resources: https://netivyah.store Join the Blue Heart Movement: https://www.netivyahinternational.org/blueheart **ABOUT NETIVYAH INTERNATIONAL** Netivyah International is a U.S.-based ministry dedicated to biblical education, understanding Scripture through its Jewish context, and equipping believers to grow in their knowledge of God's Word.
