"Justice," by definition from the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, means “the process or result of using laws to fairly judge and punish crimes and criminals.” The author of Genesis, also defines justice as the severe punishment towards the people who have made mistakes or commit serious misbehaviors. For instance, in Genesis, there is such a strong sense of justice that it works as the theme of many stories. Justice and righteousness are ultimately served in most of the stories. For example, in the story of Jacob and Esau, Jacob finally pays for his misdeed by running away to a distant place and working for Laban for 14 years. Also, Shechem, the son of Hamor, rapes Jacob’s only daughter Dinah and tries to marry her but finally get killed by Jacob’s sons Simeon and Levi. What’s more, Jacob punishes his two furious sons by dispersing them among the land of Israel and not giving their territory. No matter what kind of reason they have or no matter what kind of blessing they have been promised by God, these characters have committed mistakes and pay back for their guilt. Therefore, we conclude that justice in Genesis is served and well-defined because guilty individuals need to pay for their own misbehavior and ultimately stand the serious punishment.

He also commits the deception towards Isaac and acts as his brother Esau later to get the patriarchal blessing from his father. These injustices of Jacob finally bring the tragic outcome back to him and force him to pay for for his own misdeed: First, the reason that Jacob is able to deceive his father is because “Isaac was old and his eyes were too dim to see” (Genesis 27:1). But later, after Jacob has worked seven years for Laban in order to marry Rachel, Laban deceived Jacob: “When evening came, he took his daughter Leah and brought her to him; and he cohabited with her.” It is the dark that covers the eyes of Jacob and thus, as a consequence, he can’t distinguish that Laban had actually lied and brought his elder daughter Leah instead of Rachel. Both of Isaac and Jacob are deceived because they can’t see: while Isaac couldn't see because of his age and Jacob couldn't see because of the lack of light. But the connection in betwee
