Genesis 31

Jacob's dream reveals the nature of the kingdom of God from the foundation upon earth to the heaven above. God reveals Himself through the divine spark, the tree of Knowledge, or the Holy Spirit. Jacob had to leave a place of comfort, (šā·ḇa‘ Shin Beit Ayin (שָׁ֑בַע) to see the way of the LORD in a Dream. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob had not been respecters of persons^[1] and refused the gifts, benefits, and rewards of rulers. The Way of God includes a liberty to choose a compassionate sacrifice of one life for another. Nimrod had sought the way of rulers who exercising authority in Babylon where he he was a god over lessor gods, where he sought to build a tower from the earth to the heavens.^[2] through covetous practices which is idolatry.^[3] The people had to be free to choose the way of righteousness through pure religion but the means and method of the public religion of Nimrods brought confusion, dysphoria, and divided the people and scattered them. Jacob's dream and the stones and ladders is about the form of governance of the people, for the people, and by the people according to the perfect law of liberty which is required in a universe of cause and effect so that the children of Jacob to become true Israel. Verse 2 of Micah 5 tells us "Out of Bethlehem will come the ruler of Israel."^[4] In Verse 1 of Micah 5 begins "Now gather thyself in troops (tiṯ·gō·ḏə·ḏî תִּתְגֹּדְדִ֣י TavTavGimelDaletDaletYod) gather yourself in troops)^[5], O daughter of troops: he hath laid siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.

Comments Part 1
Abraham was not doing what Nimrod was doing, or Abimelech but he did what the righteous kings of peace, who was Melchizedek. Abraham would not become a part of Egypt or Sodom, which would fall under the category of cities of blood but was a stranger who dwelt in the land. He was in the world of Canaan but not of that world of men for he had come out of Haran with many souls.
The question of fertility was important to society. In the bondage of Egypt the Egyptian birthrate went down but Israel's went up. Why?^[6]

V1 The jealousy and envy of Laban's sons begins to poison the heart of Laban because Jacob is getting more prosperous.
Jacob sees this change of heart toward him in verse 2 but does not prepare to leave until the LORD tells him in verse 3.
How is Jacob hearing the Lord and his messengers? Do you? What darkens the mind so we cannot see the truth?^[7] If we are Born again we must love the light of truth.

Questions
Have you tried to rule over your neighbor in the place of God through democracies? Have you made covenants with ruling judges who sit in the gate of Modern Sodom, judging the people as to what is right and wrong, what is good and evil? Do you all have one purse through socialism? Have you established the Corban of the Pharisees through a form of public religion that includes covetous practice? Have become human resources back in the bondage of Egypt because you developed an appetite for benefits and the dainties of rulers "who exercise authority one over the other"?
Are you following the way of Abraham, Melchizedek, Israel, Moses, and Jesus who was the Christ?
Or are you following the ways of Nimrod of Babylon, Abimelech, Pharaoh of Egypt, Caesar of Rome or Herod and the Pharisees and eating their Leaven.

Jealousy and envy

1 And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that was our father's; and of that which was our father's hath he gotten all this glory.

2 And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before.

Waits upon the LORD

3 And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.

Calls his wives to the flock

4 And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock,

5 And said unto them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father hath been with me.

Served Laban despite the fraud

6 And ye know that with all my power I have served your father.

7 And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me.

8 If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the cattle bare speckled: and if he said thus, The ringstraked shall be thy hire; then bare all the cattle ringstraked.

God made it right

9 Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me.

10 And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams which leaped upon the cattle were ringstraked, speckled, and grisled.

Heard the angel of God

11 And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I.

12 And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle are ringstraked, speckled, and grisled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee.

Told by the God of Bethel

13 I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred.

Rachel and Leah ponder and submit

14 And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?

15 Are we not counted of him strangers? for he hath sold us, and hath quite devoured^[9] also our money.

16 For all the riches which God hath taken from our father, that is ours, and our children's: now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do.

Jacob Rose up

17 Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels;

18 And he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods which he had gotten, the cattle of his getting, which he had gotten in Padanaram,^[8] for to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.

Robbery at the Shearing house

19 And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the images that were her father's.

20 And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian(hā’ărammî; הָאֲרַמִּ֑י), in that he told him not that he fled.

21 So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the river, and set his face toward the mount Gilead.

Laban was told of Jacob

22 And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled.

23 And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey; and they overtook him in the mount Gilead.

God warned Laban

24 And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.

25 Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount: and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mount of Gilead.

Laban Speaks

26 And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters, as captives taken with the sword?

27 Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away from me; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with harp?

28 And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? thou hast now done foolishly in so doing.

29 It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of your father spake unto me yesternight, saying, Take thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.

Greed revealed

30 And now, though thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou sore longedst after thy father's house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen my gods?

Jacob answers

31 And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said, Peradventure thou wouldest take by force thy daughters from me.

32 With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, let him not live: before our brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee. For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them.

The Search

33 And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the two maidservants' tents; but he found them not. Then went he out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.

34 Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camel's furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban searched all the tent, but found them not.

35 And she said to her father, Let it not displease my lord that I cannot rise up before thee; for the custom of women is upon me. And he searched, but found not the images.

Jacob wroth

36 And Jacob was wroth, and chode with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued after me?

37 Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? set it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may judge betwixt us both.

38 This twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten.

39 That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bare the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day, or stolen by night.

40 Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes.

41 Thus have I been twenty years in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle: and thou hast changed my wages ten times.

42 Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesternight.

Laban answers

43 And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and these cattle are my cattle, and all that thou seest is mine: and what can I do this day unto these my daughters, or unto their children which they have born?

44 Now therefore come thou, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee.

A pillar and a covenant

45 And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar.

46 And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made an heap: and they did eat there upon the heap.

Jegarsahadutha and Galeed.

47 And Laban called it Jegarsahadutha: but Jacob called it Galeed.

48 And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed;

49 And Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another.

50 If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take other wives beside my daughters, no man is with us; see, God is witness betwixt me and thee.

51 And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I have cast betwixt me and thee;

52 This heap be witness, and this pillar be witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm.

53 The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge betwixt us. And Jacob sware by the fear^[10] of his father Isaac.

Jacob sacrificed

54 Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount, and called his brethren to eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mount.
