Ashley TerradezHOST
And all of a sudden, Jacob became very prosperous.
Ashley TerradezHOST
In fact, it says in Genesis, I believe it's Genesis 31, it says, "The man became exceedingly prosperous." Jacob became exceedingly prosperous.
Ashley TerradezHOST
Well, the reason why he became exceedingly prosperous is he made a vow to God and said, "God, whatever you give me, I'm gonna give you a minimum of 10% back.
Ashley TerradezHOST
I'm gonna tithe back to you." And God said, "I'll honor that, and I'll give you a supernatural business idea so you'll make millions, and you'll be able to tithe back to me." Listen, that was before the law.
Akintola SamuelHOST
Look at Jacob.
Akintola SamuelHOST
Genesis 13, Genesis 31 rather, 37 to 39.
Akintola SamuelHOST
Genesis 31:37-39.
Akintola SamuelHOST
Jacob speaking.
Akintola SamuelHOST
Are we all reading together? This should be the testimony of every believer.

There is a similar account to be given for the order of the words in Numbers 12, verses 1 and 10, where Miriam, being the more prominent of the two in opposing Moses, is placed before Aaron.

So Rachel and Leah in inverse order, Genesis 31, verse 14, Gad and Reuben, Numbers 32, verse 6.
speaker_0NARRATOR
She who was blessed among women suffered less from the taint of human infirmity than others, yet she was not entirely exempt from it.

Exo, without.
EnochHOST
No.
EnochHOST
So what made Jacob see these angels? You have to go to Genesis 31.
EnochHOST
The last but one verse and the last verse will help you, will help you to understand something.
EnochHOST
Genesis 31.
EnochHOST
You see what happened.
EnochHOST
"Then offered-- Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount and called his brethren to eat bread and they didn't ate bread and, and they did eat bread and tarried all night in the mount." Verse 55, "And early in the morning, Laban rose up and kissed his sons and his daughters and blessed them and Laban departed and returned unto his place." Next verse, "And Jacob went and he met..." What happened? Laban who had been cheating him had to still pray for him before leaving.
Dean AlleyHOST
The daughters later say their father sold them.
Dean AlleyHOST
We'll see that play on words in Genesis 31.
Dean AlleyHOST
That was not the honorable word.
Dean AlleyHOST
Seven years passed after the wedding feast and Laban puts Leah in Rachel's place.
Joshua BermanHOST
So come on into the bar, and thanks for joining us.
Joshua BermanHOST
As Jacob and his family secretly leave Laban behind, Genesis 31 gives us a strange detail.
Joshua BermanHOST
Rachel steals her father's teraphim, perhaps idols.
Joshua BermanHOST
Laban calls them his gods, and he is desperate to get them back.
Joshua BermanHOST
And on this story, you had a very interesting thesis that I thought our listening audience would like to hear and have a discussion about it.
Joshua BermanHOST
So tell us about teraphim.
Joshua BermanHOST
What are they? Tell us about the other places in Scripture where we find this and a very interesting pattern of where and who are using these things and how it might color our reading of Genesis 31.
Joshua BermanHOST
Take it away.
Anna Van DellenGUEST
So verses 31 to 43 is basically Jacob plundering Laban, which is awesome, and he's certainly entitled to and it's no more than Laban completely deserves.
Anna Van DellenGUEST
Let us go to Genesis 31.
Anna Van DellenGUEST
Now Jacob heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, "Jacob has taken away all that was our father's, and from what belonged to our father he has made all this wealth." So they even admit that Jacob's the one who made the wealth, and that the wealth that they see came from what their father had.
Anna Van DellenGUEST
And...
Jon ForttHOST
deception where isaac is going to give the blessing to the oldest son uh esau who he likes the most loves the most because esau is a man's man and he hunts and makes gets that venison that he likes but rebecca perhaps remembering listening to god's instruction when she was pregnant it's like now i'm going to help jacob out he's going to be the one who gets this blessing Jacob takes the blessing through deception, runs away because Esau is going to kill him, and then encounters a big deceiver of his own in Laban.
Jon ForttHOST
And in Genesis 31...
Jon ForttHOST
You know, God's told him, all right, you've been in this land with Laban for a while.
Jon ForttHOST
It's time for you to go back home.
Jon ForttHOST
And Jacob has spent literally half his life, maybe a little bit more, running from home.
Jon ForttHOST
And now God is telling him, not just go back, but go back.
Jon ForttHOST
And in Genesis 31, verse 3, Yahweh said to Jacob, return to the land of your fathers and to your relatives, and I will go.
David TiecheHOST
with you which yeah but what's it it's a little bit interesting it's not like god's like hey it's time to move something's going on here and we start to see the hint and the cracks and the fissures of his contentious relationship with laban it said that jacob heard that laban's sons were saying this is like two verses before the verse you just read Jacob has taken everything our father owned and has gained all this wealth from what belonged to our father.
