Notes from Genesis 28

We have here,

I. Jacob parting with his parents, to go to Padanaram; the charge his father gave him (v. 1, 2), the blessing he sent him away with (v. 3, 4), his obedience to the orders given him (v. 5, 10), and the influence this had upon Esau (v. 6-9).
II. Jacob meeting with God, and his communion with him by the way. And there,
1. his vision of the ladder (v. 11, 12).
2. The gracious promises God made him (v. 13-15).
3. The impression this made upon him (v. 16-19).
4. The vow he made to God, upon this occasion (v. 20, etc.).
