Oh the plot thickens, when Rachel saw that she was not bearing Jacob any children, she became jealous of her sister.  Hmmm, sounds like someone else we read about just recently only it wasn’t a sister it was a maidservant.  Let’s look at the names that are given to all these children: Reuben, Simeon, Levi , Judah , Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Dinah, and Joseph.  One daughter and 11 sons.  All of these names are of importance and you will see them again and again.  Now after all these kids were born God told Jacob to go back to his relatives and he left Laban without telling him and not only that but Rachel stole Laban’s household gods.  So he chased them down.  God told Laban not to say anything good or bad to Jacob so once he caught up with him he could do nothing but search for his idols.  Rachel had them hidden and then lied to her father about having her monthly thing so daddy didn’t search where she was sitting.  Well after that mess was settled Jacob went on to wrestle with God and his name was changed to Israel and God touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so he limped on to meet up with his brother Esau whom he stole the blessing from amongst other things and was surprised that Esau received him as a brother.  Thought that sending herds and flocks ahead of him to appease the anger of the scorned brother was the right thing to do but God had blessed Esau and he was no longer angry.  This would make a great movie.
