In this week’s parsha, Jacob ran away from home, because his brother Esau had promised to kill him for sneakily getting the firstborn’s blessing from his father. On his way to his Uncle Laban\u2019s home in Charan, he stopped for the night on Mount Moriah. While asleep, he dreamed of angels climbing up and down a ladder that reached heaven. During this vision, Hashem promised that he would become father to many children and that his family would inherit the Land of Israel.<\/p>\n

He awoke and realised it was a prophetic dream, then continued his journey towards Charan. He met Rachel, the daughter of Laban, at a nearby well, and fell in love with her. Rachel had older sister called Leah. Laban agreed to let Jacob marry Rachel (although she was the younger sister) if Jacob worked for him for seven years. After the wedding finally took place, Jacob realised that Laban had tricked him and he had really married Leah. Laban said that he had done this because the custom was to marry the older child first, but if Jacob agreed to another seven years of work, he could also marry Rachel. They married, but both Rachel and Leah became unhappy. Leah felt unloved, but had many children (6 sons and 1 daughter). Rachel was deeply loved by Jacob, but could not have children. Both wives asked their maidservants to also be wives to Jacob, and Jacob became father to 4 more sons. Eventually Rachel had her first child, a son who she called Joseph.<\/p>\n

There was tension between Jacob and Laban over the flocks, as Laban often changed the agreement of who owned which sheep. Eventually Jacob decided to leave with his wives and children. Laban followed behind and tried to stop him, but they finally parted ways in peace, and 20 years after leaving home, the 4 wives, 12 children and all their sheep journeyed together, led by Jacob, towards the place of his birth – Israel.<\/p>\n
