Bible Bed Time Stories: Genesis 31:17-32:22 by ric gustafson
Working for Laban, Jacob became rich. At one point, he decided to go back to Canaan. One day, Jacob packed up his family and his animals. He began his journey. Laban was sad that Jacob was leaving. He wanted to go out and bring him back. God told him not to.
Laban caught up with Jacob in the hills of Gilead. Because of the dream he had, Laban did not take Jacob back with him. Instead, the two made a promise to each other. They promised not to harm each other. The following morning, Laban returned home.
Then Jacob heard some troubling news. He heard that his brother Esau was coming with 400 men. In fear, Jacob sent shepherds with animals to present them to Esau as gifts. Jacob stayed behind to pray.
