Jacob Is Deceived by Laban.
Why did laban chase jacob. When Jacob completed Leahs bridal week Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to be his wife. Jacob had left his home and was going to Haran. From Labans reaction it is pretty easy to see why Jacob Rachel and Leah -- who knew him well -- decided to leave unannounced.
Thus the change in attitude on the part of Laban and his sons brought about a change of plans for Jacob. While he was away Rachel stole her fathers personal idols. Then he watered the herds of his uncle.
Jacob highlights that his service has been righteous and honorable even when Laban was not. It is even worse to leave before he had a chance to get them back. Not bad for Laban.
Both Jacob and Laban prospered from it. Why did God bless Jacob despite his many flaws and failures. 21 Jacob fled taking everything that he owned.
13012016 Having given Laban time to look for his idols Jacob then rebukes Laban for chasing him and for several other ways in which Laban has wrongly treated Jacob. 16102011 Clearly Laban planned all along to use Jacobs desire for Rachel to get his less marketable daughter Leah out of his tent. The most likely explanation is that when Laban brings his daughter Leah to Jacob it is late and dark and she is veiled from head to toe.
Jacob is speaking to his wives Leah and Rachel reminding them of how their father Laban had deceived him and changed his wages ten times. 02022012 Jacob fulfills his second 7-year commitment to Laban and tries to leave. He loved Rachel more than Leah so he worked for Laban for seven more years.
Hearing this Jacob walked over to the well and single-handed rolled the stone from its place. Hath changed my wages ten times That is oft-times as is often the signification of the number ten. 2 Jacob goes against Gods way by not informing Laban of their departure despite following Gods will to go home.
Laban thinks he comes out ahead by marrying off both his daughters and getting fourteen years of Jacobs work at the same time. In keeping with his deceitful nature Laban removes all of the animals from his herd that could quickly produce speckled offspring for he wanted to keep Jacob around longer vv. That night though God comes to Laban in a dream and says Be careful not to say anything to Jacob either good or bad.
Jacob Flees from Laban 1 Now Jacob heard that Labans sons were saying Jacob has taken away all that belonged to our father and built all this wealth at our fathers expense 2 And Jacob saw from the countenance of Laban that his attitude toward him had changed. Laban recognizes that all that he has is due to Jacobs work so he asks Jacob to stay. How do you explain the results for both Laban and Jacob.
2928 Jacob did as Laban said. That is why it was called Galeed. 1 Rachel steals Labans small household idols while he shears sheep.
It seems that the wedding feast hosted by Laban is an intentional ploy to dull Jacobs senses with wine 2922. Both Laban and his nephew Jacob were sneaky conniving deceitful men. Laban are left with the weaker animals while Jacob had the stronger ones.
But as we will see tomorrow God will give this cheater his just desserts. 3 Then the LORD said to Jacob Go back to the land of your fathers and to your kindred and I will be with you. However Laban does not want him to go because Jacob has made him very prosperous.
2929 Laban gave his female servant Bilhah to his daughter Rachel to be her servant 2930 Jacob had marital relations with Rachel as well. Obviously and conveniently Laban never mentioned while Jacob worked for him for seven years that it wasnt their custom to marry off a younger daughter before the older one. He tricked Jacob at the time of the marriage so that Laban is able to get both daughters married to Jacob and he gets fourteen years of work from a willing Jacob.
There he found out what it is like to be tricked. After Jacob lied to get his fathers blessing Esau wanted to kill him. 22052005 Jacob inquired why the shepherds did not water their flocks while it was still day.
Jacob agrees as long as he is paid a wage and he propose the following deal. Yet God had been with him and whenever Laban had changed his wages God had ensured that Jacob had been blessed in spite of his father-in-laws underhanded schemes. Small wonder Laban chases after Jacob when he learns they skedaddled.
Jacob escaped to his uncle Labans place. When the God-appointed time came for Jacob to leave Labans house in Paddan Aram and return to his father Isaac Laban. 29042016 But first Jacob and Rachel would combine for a double whammy on Laban.
That is where his mothers brother Laban lived. With his controlling attitude toward Jacob and his family Laban would not have allowed them to leave if he could stop them. 03032021 Laban took the animals away while Jacob made the stronger spotted animals mate.
He was told that only the concerted efforts of all the shepherds could remove the rock that covered the mouth of the well. So he gathers up his relatives and he chases after Jacob. Jacob has been disadvantaged by Uncle Laban on several counts.
After seven days he catches up to him in the hill country of Gilead. It appears that Laban through envy and covetousness often broke his agreement made with Jacob and altered it as he thought fit and that Jacob patiently yielded to all such changes Then all the cattle bare speckled This seems to put it out of doubt that as Jacob. 20 Moreover Jacob had deceived Laban the Aramean because he had never told him that he was intending to leave.
19 Meanwhile Laban had been out shearing his sheep. It was also called Mizpah because he said May the LORD keep watch between you and me when we are away from each other Labans words to Jacob at Mizpah were part of a covenant between the two as they parted company. 01042016 How could Laban fool Jacob.
12052004 When Jacob prospered at Labans expense it is easy to understand why Labans sons looked on him with disfavor for all their inheritance was fleeing before their very eyes. He got up crossed the river and headed to the hill country of Gilead.
