Genesis Lesson 73: Stealing Away!

Genesis 31:17-35 God had spoken to Jacob in a dream, telling him that, after 20 years of patiently submitting to his devious, selfish, and conniving father-in-law, Laban, it was time to return to the land of his father (Isaac).  Thus, with his focus back on the Lord and the land the Lord promised him and his descendants, Jacob began his return trip to Canaan.  In this lesson, "Stealing Away," we discuss "Jacob's Flight," "Laban's Pursuit," "God's Intervention," "Laban's Accusation," Jacob's Defense," and "Rachel's Deception". This is an interesting lesson!
