About this episode
Jacob heeds God's call and prepares his family to return to Bethel, facing significant life events along the way.
After 40 years of living for himself, Jacob heeds God’s call, assumes spiritual leadership, and prepares his family to return to Bethel. Along the way we learn that Rachel dies giving birth to her second son, Benjamin. Isaac dies, too, and our study closes with Esau and Jacob burying him together.
