GenesisSteve Gregg
In this passage, Jacob leaves Laban's house after realizing his uneasy relationship with Laban's sons. He experiences a dream about returning to Bethel, which he shares with his wives. Rachel steals household goods, which she hides in a camel's saddle. Jacob and Laban confront each other, and they make an agreement stacking stones as witnesses, calling it "Mizpah." Laban asks Jacob not to take any wives besides his daughters to keep the inheritance in the family line.
