God made him go for three days before finally making a decision?

Ten years have passed. (Note 1)

Another morning, the sun has not yet risen, and there is a faint smog in the air. Abraham stepped out of the tent. The two servants had already prepared two donkeys, one on the food, the water and the tent, and the other on the other with a large bundle of dry wood. He looked at it and settled it. Then he entered the tent and said goodbye to his wife, Sarah. After a moment, he took the nine-year-old son Isaac out of the tent. Isaac had not fully woken up, resting his father's shoulders, his hands on his father's neck, and continued to fall asleep.Abraham walked in front, and the two servants followed the donkeys. The four men left Beersheba and walked to the mountains of the north.

The sun rose, and Isaac ran in front of his father, excitedly looking around. This is the first time he was born after he was born. The wildflowers on the roadside, the butterflies, the green hills in the distance, and the trees all attracted him. He therefore rarely talked or tired. Abraham followed Isaac and remained silent except that Isaac stopped when he ran away. His eyes have been following his son, and his eyes have been moisturized from time to time, and he immediately wiped it off with his clothes. I am afraid that the two servants holding the scorpion will see the anomaly. His mood is like a mountain road under his feet, high and low.

God called him yesterday and said to him, "Take your son, your only begotten Son, your beloved Isaac to Moria, and offer him a burnt offering on the mountain where I instruct you." He was shocked and almost thought I have got it wrong. Give Isaac a burnt offering? Does God want me to kill my son like the people around me and burn it on dry wood? Why did God ask me this way? Is Isaac not God promised me in the oak forest of Hebron ten years ago? Is Isaac’s name not from God? Sarah also gave birth to Isa a year later. Does God not see Isaac as my only child? After killing Isaac, how did God then tell me that the promise of becoming the father of many nations would be fulfilled?

The first day of the trip was over, the servants set up the tent and raised the bonfire. After dinner, Isaac slept in the tent, and the two servants understood the mood of the owner and hid the feed of the scorpion. Abraham sat alone beside the campfire and said nothing.The night in the wild is heavy, and the stars are shimmered by the night, and they are splendid. Abraham was attracted by the stars and could not help but look up and stare. He suddenly thought of God's promise more than twenty years ago: "You look up at the sky, count the stars, can you count it up? Your descendants will be so much." Abraham thought of it, listening to Isa in the tent. The snoring, his heavy heart suddenly opened, isn't God's promise fulfilled every time?This time God wants me to do it. Although I don't understand it, God must be prepared. Even if my son dies, God will certainly let him live.

The next day, Abraham and the servants continued on their way. From Beersheba to Moria two hundred miles, the road was halfway, but today it is a mountain road, and the mountain along the way. Isaac did not have yesterday's physical strength and passion, and sat on the back of the donkey. When they camped that night, Mount Moria was near.

On the third morning, the four of them came to the foot of the mountain. Abraham looked at the top of the mountain and said to the servant, "You and I are waiting here. My child and I will worship God there and then come back." Abraham took the dry wood from the back of the donkey and placed it on Isaac's shoulder. Bring the fire and the sharp knife and take Isaac to the top of the mountain. Not far away, Isaac stopped and asked, "Father." "Child, what?" "You see, there is fire and firewood, but where is the lamb for sacrifice?" Abraham moved, he Looking up at the sky, after a moment, said: "Children, God himself will prepare the lamb for the burnt offering." The two continued to move forward.

At the top of the mountain, Abraham came to the place where God directed. He built the altar with stones, placed the firewood on it, and then tied Isaac and placed it on the firewood. Isaac did not struggle, did not yell, but only looked at his father with tears. Abraham resisted tears and said nothing, holding the eyes of Isaac in one hand, lifting the knife in one hand, pointing at the heart of his son, closing his eyes, and trying to force him. The angel suddenly called him from heaven: Abraham! Abraham!"

Abraham slammed, stopped his hand, looked at the sky and replied, "I am here." The angel said, "Don't do it to the child, don't hurt him! Now I know that you fear God, because you don't hesitate to offer your son - yours only son." 

Hearing here, Abraham's heart suddenly slammed down, because of relaxation, and heard the struggling sound in the bushes. Looking down, I saw a ram with two horns stuck in the dense bushes. He could not help but shout loudly, so he gave it. Dismissed and tied, the father and son kneel down to thank God for the preparation. Abraham took the sheep and offered him a burnt offering instead of his son.

The angel once again said to Abraham, "This is what the Lord says, 'Because you are willing to give your son, your only begotten Son, I will swear to you by myself, I will bless you, so that your descendants are like the stars of heaven. And the sand of the sea. Your descendants will occupy the city of the enemy, and the nations of the world will be blessed by your descendants, because you have obeyed me."

Abraham's faith was tempered again, and he was able to take his son down the mountain as he said, and God prepared the sacrificed lamb.Abraham was therefore called the father of faith by future generations.

However, God’s tempering of Abraham is only a prelude. The reason why God is so "cold and ruthless" is to let people feel that when God took the initiative to offer his only child as a burnt offering, when God's son silently shed tears and died, how much pain and sacrifice they suffered.

God did not let Abraham offer his son, but God offered his own son.

God did it all because of love.

  • (1)- The specific time does not say the Bible, here is the conjecture.

 

How to find marriages thousands of miles away?

Time flies, Abraham moved back to Hebron with his family, where he met angels, was told about the birth of Isaac, and was told that the cities of Sodom and others were dying.

When Isaac was 37, his mother, Sarah, passed away, at the age of 127.Abraham kept her crying, and she went back to God, but left her and her son to spend the rest of the world in the world. Abraham lived among the Hittites at that time. Although he was a rich shepherd, he did not have any real estate.

Abraham found the elders of the Hekh in Hebron, and begged them to sell a piece of land to bury him. Ephron among the Hittites showed sincerity to Abraham, sold him a piece of land, and sold ninety-two silver. Abraham buried Sarah in the cave on the land. The ancients kept their promises, and the land was used by the Abraham family as a cemetery, and four generations including Abraham were buried one after another for more than 500 years. Their bones are still there today and become famous holy places. Because the Bible was recorded here by the Bible, it was not until the 19th century that archaeologists discovered it and confirmed its existence. This proves that the Bible is correct.

Three years later after Sarah’s death, Abraham was 140 years old, and Isaac was forty years old, but he was not married. Abraham did not want to give Isaac a local woman, because God did not reveal him this way. He also knew that God hated the locals to worship idols and even killed their children to sacrifice. He is afraid that he will not have much time in his life. When he was born, his son has been following his own grazing in the wilderness. He has no desire, no obedience, and a pure commitment. He also thinks that God promised him to be a big man's promise, and he is worried about his son's marriage. He thought of his own family thousands of miles away, and his brother had many descendants under his knees.

Abraham called a reliable old servant (he might have followed the master to Mount Moriah) and said, "Please put your hand under my thigh. I want you to swear by the Lord God who rules the heavens and the earth, you will not find this. The woman in the South is the wife of my son. You have to go back to my hometown and find a wife for Isaac among my relatives."

The old butler asked: "If the woman refuses to come with me, will I bring your son back to your hometown?" Abraham said: "You must never bring my son back there! Because I led my father to leave my father's house. And the Lord of heaven in the Lord, who spoke to me, swore to promise this land to my descendants. He will send angels to lead the way before you, to help you find a wife for my son there. If the woman refuses Come with you, you have fulfilled your oath to me, but you can't take my son back there."

The boss always prepared all kinds of precious gifts, placed on top of the ten camels, and set off for Harlan in the east thousands of miles away. More than twenty days later, the old butler servant came to the city of Harlan, just at dusk, the sun was hanging, and the tall wall was orange. The butler found a spring well, let the camel lie down, and prayed to God silently: "My Lord Abraham, the Lord God, please give mercy to my master Abraham, let things be accomplished today. Now, I am standing by this spring, The women in the city are coming out to fetch water. If I say to the girl, 'Please drop your jug and let me drink some water', if she says, 'Please drink, I also drink water to give your camel drink.' The woman is the wife you have chosen for your servant Isaac. Then I can know that you have given me my master."

He just prayed like this, a group of women came out of the city, carrying a jug on their shoulders to fetch water. The laughing women walked close to the well, saw strange butlers stunned, stopped laughing, and began to fetch water. The housekeeper looked around and waited until a beautiful girl came to the water. His heart was moved. He went up and said to her, "Please give me some water to drink."

The beautiful woman’s eyes were as gentle as a dove. When she saw the servant’s tired eyes and dry lips, she immediately dropped the jug from her shoulder and held it in her hand. She said, “My lord, please drink.” The servant finished drinking, using The sleeves dried their mouths and had no time to thank them. The girl said, "I will make some water for your camels and let them drink." So she asked her female companions to finish the water first. Leave it yourself, then hit the water and pour the water from the jug into the sink. Ten camels were thirsty after a long journey through the desert, and they rushed to drink the water in the sink. The water was quickly drunk. The girl went back and forth at the well and the sink until the camels finally got full.

The old butler stood by and watched the girl wipe the sweat from her forehead. She gave her a ring of about six grams and a pair of gold bracelets weighing about 110 grams. She asked: "I ask you Whose daughter? Is there a place in your father’s house for us to stay?” The girl replied, “I am the daughter of Bethuel, called Rebekah. My father is the son of Nahor (a brother of Abraham). There are plenty of food and there are places for you to stay."

The housekeeper listened, his eyes were wet, his white whiskers trembled, and he fell down on the ground, looked up at the heavens, worshipped God, and said, "The Lord God of Abraham, my master, is to be praised because He has always treated my master with love and faith. He not only listened to my prayers, but also immediately answered them. He also guided me to find the granddaughter of the master's brother and gave me the son of the Lord."

Rebekah listened, confused, but heard the sound outside the string, his face was blushing, the jug was not going, ran all the way back home, telling his parents and brother what happened. Rebekah’s brother, Laban, listened to his sister’s nose ring and gold bracelet and ran to the well. When the boss and the camel were still waiting there, they said, “You are the blessed by the Lord, Please come to my house. Why are you standing outside? I have prepared the room for you and prepared a place for the camel." The boss always followed the home of Laban. Laban invited his father early, and asked someone to unload the things on the back of the camel, feed the camel with fodder, and water the old man and the accompanying person to wash his feet. He prepared the dinner for him to eat. The boss said: "Please wait for me to explain after eating, okay?" Laban said: "Please tell me." 

The old butler sent Master Abraham how to send him here to be Isaac's blind date. How can he walk through the hardships, how to pray to God at the well, how Rebekah magically appeared and answered all his prayers, etc., detailed Say it again. Finally, he asked: "Now, if you are willing to treat my master with kindness and faithfulness, please let me know; if you do not agree, please let me know so that I can know how to reply to my master."

Laban and his father said: "Since this is the arrangement of the Lord, we can't say anything more. You see that Rebekah is here. You can take her back to give you the Son of the Lord as the Lord's words." The old housekeeper heard this and once again fell down on the ground to worship the Lord, and then gave gold and silver jewelry and clothes to Rebekah, and gave her precious gifts to her brother and mother.

The next morning, the old housekeeper got up early and asked Rebecca's parents to let him take her to go back. Rebekah’s family is of course determined to stay. The boss always insisted: "Since the Lord has made me all the way, please don't keep me, so that I can return to my master as soon as possible, because he is old, and he must not worry about it for a long time."

Rebekah’s parents had to call her daughter, ask her for advice, and asked her: “Would you like to go with this person?”

Rebekah looked at his parents and looked at the old housekeeper. His face was once again red, but his eyes calmly said, "I am willing!"


More than twenty days passed, and at dusk, Isaac, who lived in the wilderness of the south of Beersheba, came to the field. He walks alone in the sunset every evening, meditating. Since his mother died three years ago, he has been in a bad mood, missing his mother, and not knowing when he is so. I was thinking, he faintly heard the camel ringing from the East, and looked at it, saw the camel team, looked at it again, saw his father’s old housekeeper, and the strange girl next to him, although far away. She also saw her beautiful silhouette, as angelic in the sunset.

Rebekah also saw Isa in the distance, facing the setting sun, only to see his figure, but his heart jumped inexplicably. She turned to ask the boss: "Who is he?" 

"That is my master Isaac, girl."

Rebekah listened, and immediately covered the red veil, covering his beautiful face.

She saw Isaac striding against herself and came over...

 

Defrauding, won't you lose?

At the age of forty, Isaac married Rebekah in the evening and married her. But Rebekah is infertile after marriage. Isaac’s half-brother, Ishmael, gave birth to twelve sons and became a great family. Isaac thought of God's promise that his father Abraham had told him, and he saw that he had no son before he prayed to God. God answered his prayers. Twenty years after his marriage, when Isaac was 60 years old, Rebekah gave birth to twin sons. The boss is covered with red hair and is called Esau (meaning bold). When the second child was born, he grabbed his brother's heel and called Jacob (meaning to replace).

When Isaac was 75, the 175-year-old father Abraham passed away.Abraham left all the property to Isaac before his death, and once again asked his son to seize God's promise. Although he had worked hard for a lifetime, he did not see the fulfillment of God's promise, but returned with faith in God. Isaac and his brother Ishmael buried his father at the side of the mother who died thirty-eight years ago, in the cave of Mbira in Hebron, which his father bought from the Hittites when his mother died.

Esau and Jacob grew up and their character was as different as their looks. Esau was reckless and liked to go hunting. Jacob works hard and likes to stay at home. One day my brother came back from hunting, tired and hot and hungry. When he saw his younger brother cooked red bean soup at home, he asked his brother to give him food. Jacob said quietly: "If you exchange the name of the eldest son, just eat it." Brother didn't want to, if it was a twin, the eldest son wouldn't have a big quarter of an hour, and he readily agreed.

Time is like an hourglass, and it is gone silent. Isaac is old, his eyes are dim, almost blind, lying in bed, spending the rest of his life. The eyes are invisible, but the mind is more acute. He recalls the years gone by. He thought that the first big thing was when he was young and he went to the top of Moria for three days, where he met an angel and saw God's preparation. 40-year-old married, 60-year-old child. Then the famine came, and God instructed him to flee to Kirar, a few hundred miles away in the northwest, and his wife was almost occupied by the locals. But God blessed him there. His crops were harvested a hundred times, and the cattle and sheep were in groups and became rich. The locals hated him and stuffed the well that his father had dug in his early years. He only moved southeast. Four times, his well was stuffed or occupied, and he was finally driven back to the other Shiba, who left, where God appeared to him: "I am the God of your father Abraham. You don't have to fear because I am with you. At the same time, for the sake of my servant Abraham, I will bless you and make your children and grandchildren."

Although it was morning in the morning, but quiet as late at night, lying on the bed, thinking of God's promise, Isaac could not help but wake up. He knew that he had not gone to the day, and it was time for the two children to take care of the aftermath. The two children are very different in character, but he prefers Esau, because Esau's character is staunch, and he is just the opposite of the weak self, and Esau is good at hunting, and the game is very delicious. God's blessing should be left to the boss. (Isaac did not know that Esau gave his eldest son the position of Jacob.)

Isaac called Esau to the bed and told Esau to go hunting in the wild, to give him the game, and then to give Esau the blessings to the boss.Esau took the bow and arrow and went in a hurry.

Less than half an hour later, Isaac heard that someone in the tent had come in and called him "father."

"I am here, my son, who are you?"

"I am Esau, hunting back, doing the game, my father, please. Bless me after eating."

Isaac’s doubts, because the voice is clearly Jacob, and how come back so soon? Hunting plus cooking also has an hour.

"Child, come over, let me touch you to see if I am Esau." Isaac touched his son's arm, his arms were hairy, thick like lamb's hair. Isaac ate a good game, and it was the smell of Esau, and let his son kiss his cheek.When he kissed, he smelled the special smell of Esau's clothes and touched the hair on his son's neck. He no longer doubted, so he blessed him:

 "My son's aroma is like the aroma of the land that the Lord blesses. May God give you the heavenly sunshine, the fertile land, and the rich grain and new wine. May all nations surrender to you, and all nations will bow down to you. May you Be the master of your brother, may your son's son bow down to you. Curse you, may he be cursed; bless you, may he be blessed."

After the blessing, the son left, Isaac was satisfied, and was about to sleep. Suddenly someone came in the tent and said, "Father, please eat the game you have made. Bless me after eating." Isaac To be surprised, because he heard the thick voice of Esau, and smelled the smell of Esau's wild game, and touched Esau's arm. Isaac hurriedly asked, "Who are you?"

"Father, I am your eldest son, Esau!"

Isaac was shocked. After a moment he sighed: "Your brother, Jacob, just came in, pretending to be you, taking away your blessing. I have given him blessings. God will fulfill the blessing in the future."

Isaac heard Esau's crying and crying: "No wonder he called Jacob. He has cheated me twice. He deceived the eldest son's name first, and now I am blessed! Father, don't you leave any other blessings to me? ?" Esau was crying.

Isaac indulged, thinking of the prophecy that God made to the two fetuses in his wife's belly: "The big ones will serve the small ones in the future", and think of everything that happened today, and can't help but sigh, just wait for Esau's crying to calm down a little. After that, call Esau to the bed and bless him:

 "The place where you live will be far from the fertile land, and there will be no rain in the heavens. You will depend on the sword to live, and you will serve your brother. When you can't stand it, you will break away from the yoke on your neck."

When the words were finished, he heard Esau stop crying and grab the door. When Esau went out, he saw the mother Rebekah who was hiding behind the door. Esau looked at his mother with hatred. He knew that his mother preferred his younger brother, Jacob, and he suspected that the mother would help the younger brother set up the scam today. He strode away and left a sentence that didn't look for the margin: "I will kill him sooner or later!"

Rebekah heard that the body was stiff like a stone there. After a while, the tears sneaked down.

 

How does God treat him when he sinned?

Jacob went crazy in the northeast direction. The mountain road was like him on the flat ground. The heavy bag was tightly attached to the back, pressing his sweat, but he did not dare to stay, staring straight at the front of the hill, running over, and then staring at the next target.It was a thousand miles away, but he could not wait to get there in one day. The heart seems to be bursting, but he would rather burst or not pause, such as the prey being chased, as if there were arrows in the back to catch up.

He is naturally quiet, but this time he has to leave his parents to travel thousands of miles away. He knows that his mother loves him the most, but he doesn't know that the early morning and his mother's rush are different. He wandered away, and there was no time to comfort his mother with a few words of reassurance. He used to deceive his brother Esau twice, once is the eldest son's name, once is God's blessing, thinking that once and for all, he will sit back and wait for the blessing, but he did not think that the disaster is as fast as his brother's bow and arrow.

My brother was in a hurry, and the secret tangled sniper was going to kill him to vent his fury. Mother Rebekah heard about it and immediately called Jacob to let him escape. When Jacob heard the mother's secret, he was shocked and stunned. His brother’s hunter temper he knows, from the point of view, marriage is like that, seeing the prey is like that, so that when he gives his eldest son a name. My brother is hunting all the year round, and his physical strength is as good as an antelope. Can you run the prey that fell under his arrow?Jacob's face was pale, as if he felt the arrow tearing into his back and saw his brother slashing his violent eyes.

But where did you escape? Four unaccompanied, the only relative is the mother's brother's family, but Harlan is thousands of miles away.Can't you leave with your father? The mother was full of tears and took Jacob to his father’s bed and prayed: “The boss did not ask for advice when she was 40 years old. She married the two women of the Hittite. After so many years, they both Let's tears run out, heartbroken. The second child, Jacob, but still not jealous, he is too quiet, and does not like the local woman, has been dragged to such a young age, do you want to live forever? Please see For my part, let him go to my brother Laban to find a woman to marry."

After a moment of silence, Isaac said to Jacob, "Go, go, God bless you, let him have a woman under your knees, and you will love the girl. Just remember, you have to return to this land, because God has already put this The land is given to you and your descendants. This is God's promise to your grandfather Abraham and me. If I am going to die this year, but God's promise will be fulfilled, God will fulfill my blessing to you."

The moon fell in the west, the stars were full of heaven, and the Tianhe was practicing. Jacob finally stopped the legs like a clockwork and ran for a day, sitting on a flat rock. Looking back at the southwest, I have already left my parents for more than 200 miles. The Mount Moria, where my grandfather and father arrived only three days ago, was left behind by him. He listened to his ears, and there was only the wind blowing in the wilderness. The wolf in the distance seemed to have nothing. He listened and calmed down. He solved the waist knife and placed it on the stone. The hanging heart finally fell, and the brother definitely It won't be so old. Besides, he does not necessarily know where I fled. The heart is loose, fatigue and hunger are immediately coming like waves. He was full of food and drink, and he had no strength to sit. He looked for a flat stone and placed it under his head. He lay on the rock and looked at the stars.

From the father's tent, the mother immediately gave him a parcel, a thousand miles away, the life is not familiar, the beasts are infested, the mother said a thousand words but did not say it, just shed tears quietly to his son, and installed gold and silver soft I took off the gold bracelet on my wrist and gave it to my son. That was the wedding gift that the father-in-law gave to him through the housekeeper. The day was just bright, the mother put him out of the tent, did not dare to speak, did not dare to cry, but also can not ride the donkey, neither time nor dare to make a move, and the speed of the blind is comparable to Esau.

Why it came out like this? Jacob looked at the stars, and the feeling of guilt came to his heart. Father, you are old, but your child can't be filial. Mother, I have lived up to your kindness and heartbreak. Brother, I am really sorry for you, cheating you twice, making you angry like this, can you forgive me on the day of reunion? God, where are you?You appeared to my grandfather and father and asked them to pay again. This family was destroyed by me, and the mother and the child were separated. God, please don't abandon me, please forgive me...

In the middle of the night, he saw that the starry sky suddenly opened like a net. A white ladder was laid down vertically from the mouth and kept on the ground, not far from the stone he was lying on. The ladder is wide, and many angels go up and down on it, in order. Jacob looked dazed and snorted, noting that the angel was surrounded by the majesty of God. His hair was white and snowy, his eyes were bright and the face was like the sun, and his voice was like the sound of Hongtao. He says:

"I am the Lord, the God of your grandfather Abraham, and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants where you are now lying. Your descendants will be like the dust on the earth, all over the earth, on the ground. The nations will be blessed by you and your descendants. I am with you, no matter where you go, I will protect you and lead you back to this land. I will fulfill my promise to you and never leave you."

When Jacob saw and heard, he was greatly afraid. He suddenly opened his eyes and wanted to speak. He saw that the starry sky was still as quiet as the Tianhe River, and the angels and gods of the ladder disappeared. After a moment, he woke up and realized that he was just dreaming. The dream was so clear that Jacob even went to the place where the ladder was placed on the ground and saw a clear mark on the ground.

Jacob didn't know how long he had slept, and he didn't know how long that dream lasted. But after waking up, he was sleepy, sitting on the stone, and the fear of awe was stronger. "The Lord is here, but I don't know. How awesome this place is! There is nowhere in this wilderness, but the house of God, the door to heaven."

Such meditation, the stars gradually disappeared, the dawn of the East, Jacob erected the stone of the pillow, poured oil on the memorial, and made a silent wish to God: "If God is with me, protect me on the road, supply me food, lead I will return to my father's house safely, and I will worship the Lord as my God. This stone that I will be a pillar will become the temple of God. I will give you one tenth of everything that you have given me. ""

Jacob called Bethel (meaning the residence of God) to the place, and packed up his bags and went on the road to the morning light. He no longer fears, no longer flees, because he remembers that dream and also remembers his vows.

God did not forget this moment, because two thousand years later, the Son of God, Jesus, personally mentioned the dream of Jacob and pointed out that the ladder is a symbol of himself.

 

Does he know the suffering that will happen after moving?

The sun is sinking, and on the base of the Gilead, which is more than a thousand meters high, the clouds are like sheep in the blue grass. The mountain winds are clear, Rachel sits on the camel, picks up the black hair blown by the wind, tightens the veil on his head, his eyes are shining like the black grapes floating in the clear water, looking back at the husband behind, husband Ya Each is busy leading the sheep, followed by the sheep silently followed. Looking across the husband, she saw the Euphrates River that was involved during the day, like a white ribbon that crossed the foot of the mountain and flowed south.She looked at the east again, where she left her hometown and couldn't see anything, even on the high mountain top. I have been away for 10 days, and I have been slowing down. A few hundred miles have already come out.

Rachel dropped his affectionate eyes on her husband again. The husband loves him the most, and she also loves her husband. How fast is the time, 20 years ago that afternoon, she returned from the wild sheep, drove the flock to the well outside the city to drink water, and met a dusty man at the well. He cried with her, as if he was full of grievances and would dump it to her. She ran home scared and brought her father Laban. He yelled at his father and asked his father to take him. After the father knew that his mother was Rebekah, he could not help but sigh. At that time, Rebekah also met Abraham's old housekeeper at the well. Unexpectedly, a few decades later, my sister’s son met his daughter again in the same place.

The flower of love quietly sprouted at the moment of the well. Jacob deeply fell in love with the bright-skinned shepherdess Rachel, who also loved the silent but hard-working cousin. Jacob begged for Laban to graze cattle and sheep for him for seven years as a pledge to marry Rachel. The savvy Laban agreed immediately. Jacob was unbearable, and waiting for seven years was like a few days. He worked hard for him, and finally waited for the end of seven years, waiting for the wedding night.

Thinking of this, Rachel's eyes fluttered through the dark clouds on the clear lake, and her tears fell on her delicate face. She couldn't help but look at her sister, Leah, sitting on the camel in front of her, and couldn't help but look back at the hometown of the East, where she had her father and brother and relatives, but she never wanted to see them again. For the wedding night, she waited for seven years. On the night when the seven-year-old Acacia was about to end, the father actually locked her in a room, and dressed her sister Lia, as if she had drunk Jacob, and personally put Jacob and Lia together. Was sent to the cave.

Thirteen years later, and thinking of the pain of deep bone marrow that night, Rachel could not help but tremble again. That night she washed her face with tears, but for self-respect, she did not cry. She hated her sister, and she was so unassuming that the partnership and her father had lied to herself. She hated her father. In order to take up the labor of Jacob, he actually asked Jacob to work for him for another seven years on the second day of the wedding, so he could raise the salary for Rachel and promised Jacob and Lara seven days later. Chel got married.

What was the suffering of the seven days, which was longer than the previous seven years. But Lachelle’s pain has only just begun. Leah gave birth to four sons for Jacob, and he was always infertile. In desperation, she pushed her husband into the tent of her own woman.Let the two sons under the girl, she belong to her name, wash the shame. I did not expect my sister to do the same. Not only did she regenerate her two sons, but her servant also gave birth to two sons.Rachel drained his tears, how could the love at the corner of the well be exchanged for such a long and deep pain? She lost her temper to her husband, pleaded with God, waited, waited, and finally gave birth to her son, named Joseph (meaning willing to add), but in the eleventh position.

The clear gust of wind blew again, blowing away the tears on Rachel’s cheeks. She saw that Jacob had come to her side and looked at her with concern. She smiled at him, wiped away tears, and gently greeted her husband. Said: "The wind is too big, blowing me to tears." Jacob pulled Rachel's hand and looked at her with apologies. The wife was spoiled from childhood. These days, in order to escape from Laban, it was dusty, violent, all the way. Keeping up, I have been away for ten days, and ran out of 500 miles. Not only are people tired, but cattle and sheep are even more exhausted. In the heart of Jacob, he has not been able to relax, and he has been looking back. I am afraid that Laban will bring people to chase.

In order to marry Rachel, Jacob worked for 14 years. When the time is up, he still does not leave Jacob home, because he saw God’s blessing to Jacob and saw that Jacob brought his huge profits, and he wanted to detain him for labor indefinitely. Jacob has fallen into despair. For twenty years, his parents are thousands of miles away, and there is no news. Life and death are unknown. His father’s last screaming is still in his ears, his physical strength is gradually declining, and relatives actually regard themselves as hostages. In the next six years, he reduced his wages ten times. In desperation, Jacob cried out to God, and God said to Jacob, "Go back to your hometown and relatives! I will be with you." 

Jacob called Lia and Rachel and told them about the secret. Their opinions on this matter were surprisingly consistent: "Let's go, my father's family has no part of us. After he married us to marry you, he was regarded as an outsider. He sold us and put our worth. Change your hard work for fourteen years and swallow it up. God did not leave us alone, and gave us children and cattle. Now you can only do what God has told you!"

On the morning of departure, Jacob was separated from the pastures of Laban by three days. But the wind will definitely pass. I dragged my children to drive the cows and rushed the sheep, and I was able to bring people to chase them. Therefore, he even rushed for ten days, in order to cross the Euphrates River and climb the Gilead Mountains. Because he had left the clan in the past, he was safe.

Thinking this way, Jacob could not help but speed up, because the sky was dark, and he had to start looking for a suitable camping place.Rachel’s hand, which he was holding, suddenly shook. He couldn’t help but look up at her, but she was looking back and looking nervous.Jacob looked back at her sight and couldn’t help but stunned.

Below the foot of the mountain, a pair of horses, like a group of screaming locusts, marched through the mountains and grasses and marched straight toward them. Jacob clearly saw that the white horses on the horseback were waving in the wind like a flag. The men behind him were iron-faced, armed with weapons, and murderous.
