Jacob Parent guide

Sex & Nudity: mild

Sex & Nudity Reason: A woman gives birth. Not graphic. Jacob's wedding night is depicted where he goes to 'sleep' with his bride. Very brief obscured view of Jacob's buttocks as his robe drops to the ground inside the love nest before consummating his wedding night. Several kissing scenes.

Violence & Gore: mild

Violence & Gore Reason: Esau bow-hunting antelope and grouse. Esau snapping the neck of a young deer (implied with sound, not all details shown). Jacob and Esau fighting after Jacob deceives Isaac into giving him the blessing. In a fit of rage, Jacob attempts to strangle Laban, but Laban's sons restrain him.

Profanity: mild

Profanity Reason: A handful of times 'Damn' or 'Dammit' are used.

Frightening & Intense Scenes: none

Frightening & Intense Scenes Reason: Jacob wrestling with God before meeting Esau could be intense for children especially if they are unfamiliar with the Bible story ahead of time.
