God continues to show his people, the first audience of this book, that he is a God of wonderful promises. The promises of inheriting the land and be a blessing to all people on earth were given directly to Abraham (chapter 15), then to Isaac (chapter 26 ), and now to Jacob (25:13-15). Jacob believed God and made a vow to serve God and dedicate a tenth of all that God will give him as an offering. From this point in Jacob's life he slowly begins to depend upon God for his provisions and less upon his own wits.
