When Jacob saw the look on Laban’s face, he could tell his attitude toward him had changed.

The Lord said to Jacob, “Return to the land of your fathers and to your relatives. I will be with you.”

So Jacob was left alone. Then a man wrestled with him until daybreak.

She grabbed him by his outer garment, saying, “Have sex with me!” But he left his outer garment in her hand and ran outside.

“So now, please let your servant remain as my lord’s slave instead of the boy. As for the boy, let him go back with his brothers.

but when I rest with my fathers, carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their burial place.” Joseph said, “I will do as you say.”

Chariots and horsemen also went up with him, so it was a very large entourage.

Now swear to me right here in God’s name that you will not deceive me, my children, or my descendants. Show me, and the land where you are staying, the same loyalty that I have shown you.”

I have the power to do you harm, but the God of your father told me last night, ‘Be careful that you neither bless nor curse Jacob.’

Lot went up from Zoar with his two daughters and settled in the mountains because he was afraid to live in Zoar. So he lived in a cave with his two daughters.

So they made their father drunk that night as well, and the younger one came and had sexual relations with him. But he was not aware that she had sexual relations with him and then got up.

At that time Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, said to Abraham, “God is with you in all that you do.

So he said to his servants, “You two stay here with the donkey while the boy and I go up there. We will worship and then return to you.”

He prayed, “O Lord, God of my master Abraham, guide me today. Be faithful to my master Abraham.

In the morning Jacob discovered it was Leah! So Jacob said to Laban, “What in the world have you done to me! Didn’t I work for you in exchange for Rachel? Why have you tricked me?”

Jacob had marital relations with Rachel as well. He loved Rachel more than Leah, so he worked for Laban for seven more years.

So he took his relatives with him and pursued Jacob for seven days. He caught up with him in the hill country of Gilead.

But God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream at night and warned him, “Be careful that you neither bless nor curse Jacob.”

“I left secretly because I was afraid!” Jacob replied to Laban. “I thought you might take your daughters away from me by force.
