Read the Story

Jacob had worked for Laban for twenty years. Laban was not kind to him anymore. God told Jacob to go back to his home land, and promised to be with him.

Jacob packed up his wives, children, sheep, goats and camels. They left without telling Laban. When Laban found out, he chased after them.

God spoke to Laban in a dream and told him not to hurt Jacob. Laban and Jacob talked. They piled up stones and made a promise to be at peace. Then Laban kissed his grandchildren and went home.

Memory Verse

Yahweh said to Jacob, “Return to the land of your fathers, and to your relatives, and I will be with you.”
