[Today: Genesis 28] Jacob Negotiates with God. In chapter 28 of Genesis Jacob takes his leave of his parents, Isaac and Rebekah to seek a wife among the daughters of his uncle Laban. On the journey to Padanaram he experiences a vision of angels ascending and descending on a ladder above him. The Lord appears and reiterates the promises and the blessings of Abraham after which Jacob sets conditions showing he doesn’t yet understand the nature of the covenant that is now his to walk in.
