Genesis 27-29 chronicles a significant phase in the lives of Isaac's family and Jacob's journey. In Chapter 27, Jacob, with Rebekah's guidance, deceives an aging Isaac into bestowing the patriarchal blessing meant for Esau. Realizing the deception, a furious Esau vows to kill Jacob, prompting Rebekah to send Jacob to her brother Laban in Haran to escape Esau's wrath and find a wife. In Chapter 28, as Jacob journeys, he dreams of a ladder connecting heaven and earth with angels ascending and descending. God reaffirms the Abrahamic covenant to Jacob in the dream. Arriving in Haran in Chapter 29, Jacob meets and falls in love with Rachel, Laban's younger daughter. Agreeing to work seven years for Laban in exchange for Rachel's hand in marriage, Jacob is deceived by Laban, who gives him Leah, his elder daughter, instead. Jacob then works an additional seven years for Rachel, highlighting themes of love, deceit, and divine destiny.
