Notes from Genesis 31

Jacob was a very honest good man, a man of great devotion and integrity, yet he had more trouble and vexation than any of the patriarchs. He left his father's house in a fright, went to his uncle's in distress, very hard usage he met with there, and now is going back surrounded with fears. Here is,

I. His resolution to return (v. 1-16).
II. His clandestine departure, (v. 17-21).
III. Laban's pursuit of him in displeasure (v. 22-25).
IV. The hot words that passed between them (v. 26-42).
V. Their amicable agreement at last (v. 43, etc.).
