The story of Jacob acquiring birthright is one of the most popular stories in the Old Testament. This story became important and popular even more so because it was from there that the forerunner of Jacob was chosen as one of the patriarchs from whom the nation of Israel was born. This story became popular also because the right and blessing was obtained Jacob in a fraudulent way. With this writing, the author wants to dig deeper into what the real intention behind the lies Jacob committed with Rebekah his mother. Is it really a lie or is there some other purpose? So what about God's role in the story? To find the thing in question, the author used two methods in the preparation of this article. The two methods are the qualitative method and the scripture interpretation method with the narrative method. From the results of the study, the author concludes that apart from the motive of lies, it turns out that the blessings and birthitudes obtained by Jacob are also one of the fulfillment of the word that God conveyed to Rebekah.
