Genesis 25:26 (c) This is a type, throughout his life, of the Christian who, though he fails and falls, quickly builds an altar, brings the Lamb of GOD by faith, and hides under Calvary and the precious blood for every sin. Though Jacob often wandered, he returned to GOD at once. He wanted to know GOD. He wrestled during the season with GOD. He gave liberally to GOD. GOD is "the God of Jacob." (See also Genesis 49:24, and other places).
