The danger of Esau’s threats of violence, force his brother Jacob to flee from his presence at the current dwelling in the promised land. Jacob thus departs to a new land in Haran in search of a wife within His mother’s household.
On his way, Jacob encounters “The Place” and sleeps there, dreaming of a ladder connecting heaven and earth together, where angelic hosts ascend and descend upon it. YAH appears to Jacob and gives a promise to Him and his offspring to come. The next morning, the stone which he laid his head upon becomes an alter as a monument for the dwelling place of YHVH.
Jacob arrives at Haran, where he stays and works for Laban, tending to the sheep of his pasture. Laban agrees to give him his younger daughter, Rachel—whom Jacob loves—in marriage. The terms for the marriage are seven years of labour for Laban. Jacob agrees. But on the wedding night, Laban gives him his elder daughter, Leah instead. A deception that swindles Jacob, one that he only discovers in the morning after the wedding night. Jacob marries Rachel, too, after agreeing to work another seven years for Laban.
After fourteen years Jacob decides it’s time to return home. But Laban persuades him to remain, now offering him sheep in return for more labour. Jacob prospers greatly, despite Laban’s repeated attempts to swindle him. After another six years, Jacob leaves Haran in stealth, fearing that Laban would prevent him from leaving with the family and property for which he laboured so hard for. Laban pursues Jacob, but is warned by YAH in a dream not to harm him. Laban and Jacob make a pact on Mount Gal-Ed, and Jacob proceeds back to the Holy Land.
