|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Jacob had learned some things about husbandry in the fourteen years so that his flock was gradually becoming stronger and larger than Laben's.</div>

|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">c. Till Jacob finally had to flee for his life from his uncle.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">C. Jacob sought to gain the advantage in every situation, willing to deceive if necessary to gain.</div>

<div class="SSN_level4">a. When fleeing from his brother, he came to Bethel.</div>

<div class="SSN_level4">b. The Lord appeared to him in a dream, and promised to give him the ground he was lying on.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">c. "If you will be with me and give me food and clothes, and bring me home in peace, then you will be my God and I will give you 10%."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. This is not how or where he had power with God.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">II. HOW DID HE HAVE POWER WITH GOD?</div>

|

|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. True to form after his prayer he began to scheme.</div>
|
