Bethel as a representation of modern-day temples. 25:04 – Jacob meets Rachel at a well. The matriarchs are often associated with water. 28:07 – Laban tricks Jacob into marrying Leah first since she is the older sister. He then marries Rachel, but must serve 7 years for her. 30:58 – The image of opening a mother’s womb as a manifestation of heavenly power. The sanctity of life is very important to God. 38:26 – The names of the children of Israel are puns that expose the rivalry between the sisters Rachel and Leah. 43:34 – Faith in God includes faith in his timing, even for righteous desires. God remembered Rachel and he will remember you. 48:03 – The Lord (or an angel) tells Jacob to leave Haran. Jacob and Laban hold a contest regarding the fertility of their flocks. Rachel hides Laban’s “household gods.” 53:36 – Jacob’s reconciliation with Laban through a covenant. 57:32 – Jacob asks God for a blessing to endure well and reconcile with Esau (Gen. 32.7-12). Jacob wrestles with a “man” (Gen. 32.24) or God (Gen. 32.30). A comparison between Jacob’s wrestle in Genesis and Enos’ wrestle in the Book of Mormon. 1:05:20 – Jacob’s name is changed to Israel, which can mean “let God prevail.” We also receive a new name when we become followers of Christ and in other times of our lives. The symbol of the embrace. Listen on Apple Podcasts Listen on Google Podcasts Listen on Audible Listen on Facebook Listen on Stitcher Listen On Spotify Listen on YouTube
