Date: 2024-03-08

In this Bible commentary, we read how Jacob leaves his family and meets his wife Rachel.  However, there is a twist.  The Trickster that we met in the previous chapters is seemingly beaten in his own game! How can we understand this story both through the lens of when it was written but also for our lives today?
