In Genesis 27 the story is introduced with the information that Isaac was old and his eyes were so weak that he could no longer see. This is the source of the drama in the events that unfold. Isaacs physical blindness was what allowed Yaakovs to pull off the ruse. Moreover, the Sages teach that Isaacs spiritual vision was likewise clouded and contributed to the events as well. He couldnt see that Esau was undeserving of the blessing and that future of mankind rested on Yaakov the worthier son being berakhah(blessed). May our eyes of understanding be enlightened and keep watch. #Shavua_Tov_Chaverim
