Genesis 28

In this chapter Jacob is sent far away, ostensibly to find himself a wife.

I have no doubt that was part of Isaac's plan. He could get Jacob away fromEsau and out of his own hair, as well as ensure that the line of blessing would remain uncontaminated. I also have no doubt that that's where God wanted him, too. I don't know if God planned everything that way or not -- the text doesn't say -- but however you look at it, it's strange how often man's plans serve God's purposes.
