Jacob’s Journey to Haran and Back

After Jacob and Rebecca deceived Jacob and stole Esau’s inheritance, Jacob went on the run. He followed took the same journey Abraham’s servant had back to Haran where he ended up serving Laban for many years.

1. Jacob set out in haste from Beersheba and camped at Bethel (formerly Luz) before continuing on to Paddan-aram (Genesis 28:10-29:1).

2. Jacob served in Laban’s house for 20 years before fleeing back to Canaan (Genesis 31:1-21).

3. Laban caught up with Jacob in the hill country of Gilead. Then Jacob came to Peniel where he wrestled with God (Genesis 31:22-32:31).

4. Esau came up from Seir and met Jacob in peace; Jacob then continued on as far as Shechem (Genesis 33).
