012 | Jacob's dream and time with Laban (Genesis 28:1-31:55)

Picture yourself transported back roughly four thousand years to the ancient Near East, around 1800 BCE. This is an era where family lineage and inheritance rights determine everything about your future, and where marriages are complex social contracts between families. The land we now call Israel and Syria is dotted with city-states and nomadic tribes, each with their own customs and territorial claims. This is the world Jacob inhabits.Source:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FDRVafXbaLcxYbsBvI3lB2KR8n-dn3xI/view?usp=sharing
