Jacob – the process of transformation - Don Palmer

In this section Jacob, now fleeing from his brother Esau, heads north to the region of the Arameans, around the city of Haran, where he would end up staying with his relative Laban (the brother of his mother, Rebekah) for the next 20 years. On the way, Jacob has his first encounter with the LORD at a place called Bethel, where God reveals himself to Jacob. The rest of these chapters record how Jacob’s family were born. Through this encounter with Yahweh, and what he experiences during the years in Laban’s household, God starts to transform Jacob.
