In Genesis 15, God renews the covenant with Abram as he was getting older. I couldn't find a website, and I don't know when God renewed the covenant. In Genesis 16, right after God renews the covenant, it talked about Abram being in the land of Canaan for 10 years, and so using deductions, I would think God renewed the covenant during 8-9 years after the first covenant, and this was how I came up with 1912 BC.

The Lord told Joseph in a dream that Herod is going to find baby Jesus and that they need to flee to Egypt. Both had a warning to tell the person to flee.

In Genesis 27, Jacob deceived Isaac and Esau and got the blessing. In my life, back in two years ago, someone deceived a teacher and told a teacher that I did something wrong. I got in trouble for doing nothing. I felt very angry, just like Esau, and actually wanted to revenge on that person. But eventually I forgave that person after I learned about forgiving and that Esau forgave Jacob in Genesis 33.
