The Book of Genesis Part 2 Chapters 30 and 31. ESV Version.

Welcome back to Reading with Ben! Today April 14, 2022, and Episode #14! I'll continue the lecture with chapters 230 & 31. Genesis 30 is characterized by sibling conflict between Jacob's wives, the birth of many more children under the blessing of God, and Jacob eventually achieving great wealth after striking an unusual bargain with his father-in-law. Genesis 31 is a long, eventful chapter that follows Jacob from his last days in a twenty-year career as Laban's servant. It ends with Jacob standing with his wives and children, as a free man, in the borderlands of the promised land of Canaan. It's not a smooth transition, though, and this chapter details several controversies.
