Listen from:
V.25-27 Jacob didn’t need to have acted so abruptly and left without his uncle’s knowledge. He didn’t rely on God, or trust his fellow-man.
V.26-42 A poor way to act. Rachel had stolen some of her father’s gods! They have to pretend a lie to keep their father from finding them. Lies are needed to cover evil deeds, usually.
V.43-55 Neither man trusted the other. The agreement they make, and the pillar they build is an evidence that they were afraid of being harmed by the other.
V.52 Their concern. Not much brotherly love. What part hath he that believeth with an unbeliever (2 Cor. 6:14-18). When we slip back into worldly habits, it is important to confess and forsake them (Prov. 28:1313He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. (Proverbs 28:13)).
