Jacob takes his wives (daughters of Laban ) and sneaks out and drives his flock/entourage. Not exactly a small undertaking since he was very wealthy and had huge amounts of livestock. Rachel stole her fathers House Gods as they left. When Laban saw them leaving and the stolen house Gods. He chased after them and caught them after 7 days. He searched all the tents and Rebekah had the Gods in her Camel saddle bags which she was sitting on and she asked forgiveness as she lied saying she had her period and couldn't stand up. (LOL!). Laban fell for it. Jacob was angry he was accused but, then the two of them made a covenant not to attack each other and for Jacob to take care of his daughters.
Old Testemant Soap Drama continues tomorrow.
In the NT study Jesus is accused of healing on the Sabbath. His reply is that if your lamb is stuck in a crevice on the sabbath you would go and rescue it. How much more valuable is a man over a lamb? Then he heals a man with a shriveled hand and then the Pharisees start to plot to kill him. (Some drama in NT too!)
