Esau hated his [twin] brother Jacob, because Jacob had stolen [from him] their father’s final blessing. So Esau said to himself, “My father will die soon, and then I will kill Jacob!”
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z01_Ge_27_12.jpg)
Isaac and Rebekah sent Jacob away to his uncle [Rebekah’s brother] to find a wife. His uncle’s name was Laban, and he lived in a country far away called Haran. There Jacob would be safe from Esau’s anger [vengeance].

The first night traveling [walking] on his way to Haran, Jacob lay on the ground at night. While he slept, he had a dream.
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z01_Ge_28_03.jpg)
In his dream, Jacob saw angels coming down to him from heaven [the sky], and going back up by a tall ladder [stairway].
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z01_Ge_28_03.jpg)
Jacob saw a bright person who stood at the top of the ladder.
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z18_Jb_01_05.jpg)
The person said to Jacob, “I am the Lord, the God whom your father Isaac serves [worships], and whom your grandfather Abraham served [worshiped].
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z01_Ge_28_04.jpg)
“I will give to you and to your descendants the ground [land] upon which you are lying [sleeping]. I will bring blessing to all families in the earth through you and your descendants.”
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z01_Ge_15_03.jpg)
(This was the same promise that the Lord God had made [given] to Isaac, Jacob’s father, and to his grandfather Abraham.)
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z01_Ge_28_02.jpg)
The Lord also promised [said] to Jacob, “I am with you and will protect you wherever you go. I will [one day] bring you back to this land [Canaan] [one day].”
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z01_Ge_28_05.jpg)
When Jacob awoke, he said to himself, “The Lord is here in this place, although I did not know it. This must be God’s house, a gateway into heaven!”
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z01_Ge_28_07.jpg)
When morning came [the sun rose], Jacob set up a stone to be a memorial [reminder about what the Lord had told him].
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z01_Ge_28_06.jpg)
Jacob poured olive [vegetable] oil on the stone, to mark it as a worship place. He named that place Bethel. This word means God’s house.
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z01_Ge_28_08.jpg)
Jacob made a promise to the Lord, “Lord, if you will supply [give me] all that I need, and if you will bring me back to this place, then you will be my only God, and I will give you a tenth [tithe] from everything I have.”
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z01_Ge_29_01.jpg)
Jacob continued on his way to Haran. One day, he came to a water well. It was covered [closed] with a heavy [flat] stone.
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z01_Ge_29_01.jpg)
Nearby three flocks of sheep were waiting to drink water. Their shepherds were waiting for someone to remove the stone from the well [and to replace it afterwards].
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z01_Ge_29_02.jpg)
Jacob greeted the shepherds and talked with them. When they said they were from Haran, he asked them, “Do you know a man named Laban?”
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z01_Ge_29_02.jpg)
They replied, “Yes, we know Laban. Look! Here comes Laban’s daughter Rachel herding a flock of sheep.”
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z01_Ge_29_12.jpg)
Laban’s daughter Rachel arrived [came near], leading her father’s sheep, to take [drink] water.
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z01_Ge_29_03.jpg)
Jacob removed the stone from over the water well, and gave water to the sheep belonging to his uncle Laban. Jacob told Rachel that he was the son of Laban’s [her father’s] sister Rebekah.
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z01_Ge_29_04.jpg)
Rachel ran to her father Laban’s house and told him that Jacob had come. Laban welcomed Jacob into his house [home]. Jacob stayed there a month.
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z01_Ge_29_05.jpg)
Laban had two daughters. Jacob saw that the younger daughter Rachel was prettier than the older daughter named Leah. Jacob wanted to marry Rachel.
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z01_Ge_29_06.jpg)
When Laban offered to Jacob a job with pay, Jacob replied, “I will work for you for seven years, if you will give me Rachel to be my wife.”Laban agreed to do so.
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z01_Ge_29_07.jpg)
So Jacob stayed seven years, working for Laban [taking care of his animals]. Jacob loved Rachel so much that seven years did not seem too long a time.
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z01_Ge_29_04.jpg)
After seven years, Laban held [prepared/gave] a wedding feast for Jacob and Rachel.
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z01_Ge_29_05.jpg)
However [But] that night, after the feast, Laban sent Leah to Jacob’s tent, instead of [sending] Rachel.
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z01_Ge_29_08.jpg)
In the morning, when Jacob woke up, he saw that he had slept with Leah. Jacob realized [knew] then that Laban had deceived [tricked] him, and Jacob became angry towards Laban.
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z01_Ge_29_09.jpg)
Jacob complained to Laban, who replied: “It is our custom that an older daughter must marry [get married] before a younger daughter may marry [get married]. If you agree to work another seven years, then I will give you Rachel also.”
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z01_Ge_29_10.jpg)
After a week of marriage celebration for Leah, Laban also gave his younger daughter Rachel to Jacob to be his second wife. However [But] Jacob always loved Rachel more than Leah.
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z01_Ge_30_02.jpg)
So that is how Jacob stayed with Laban and worked for him for 14 years [total].
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z01_Ge_29_11.jpg)
It was the custom in those days that a man could have children with his wives and [also] with his wives’ servant women. Thus, Jacob fathered [had] eleven children with four women.
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z01_Ge_29_11.jpg)
During those years, Rachel bore only one child, a son that Jacob named Joseph.
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z01_Ge_30_01.jpg)
At the end of 14 years, Jacob wanted to return [go back] to [his father and mother in] Canaan. But Laban knew that God had made him rich because of Jacob. So Laban asked Jacob to stay longer with him.
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z01_Ge_30_02.jpg)
Jacob agreed to stay, if Laban would let him [Jacob] take all the [sheep and goat] lambs that had color, and if Laban take all the white lambs [without color]. Thus [so] Jacob kept his flocks [sheep and goats / animals] separate from Laban’s flocks [sheep and goats / animals].
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z01_Ge_30_02.jpg)
God blessed Jacob by making his sheep flocks and goat herds [animals] increase [in numbers and in strength].
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z01_Ge_30_04.jpg)
Laban was always trying to cheat Jacob. But God made Jacob rich by making his [flocks and] herds have more young sheep and goats [animals] than Laban’s [flocks and] herds.
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z01_Ge_30_03.jpg)
Jacob saw that Laban was becoming jealous toward him and because [Laban] was no longer friendly.
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z01_Ge_31_01.jpg)
One day, the Lord said to Jacob, “Go back to your father’s relatives in Canaan. I will still be with you there.”
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z01_Ge_31_01.jpg)
Jacob obeyed the Lord. He left with his wives, children, servants and herds [animals], to go [back] to his father Isaac’s country [land] in Canaan.
