And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and these cattle are my cattle, and all that thou seest is mine: and what can I do this day unto these my daughters, or unto their children which they have born? Now therefore come thou, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee. And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar. And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made an heap: and they did eat there upon the heap. And Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha: but Jacob called it Galeed. And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed; And Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another. If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take other wives beside my daughters, no man is with us; see, God is witness betwixt me and thee.-Genesis 31:43-50***Laban the Syrian and Rebekah were the children of Bethuel the Syrian. Rebekah married Isaac, the only child born to Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Bethuel's uncle and aunt. Fraternal twin sons Esau (Edom) and Jacob (Israel) were the only children born to Isaac and Rebekah. After Rebekah helped Jacob trick Isaac into giving Jacob the blessing due Esau, Esau planned to kill Jacob. Rebekah caused Isaac to send Jacob to Bethuel and Laban in Padan Aram in northern Mesopotamia and marry Laban's daughter. Thus, Jacob departed from the family home in Canaan and journeyed to Padan Aram, Haran. Almost immediately, Jacob loved Laban's daughter Rachel, and made a deal with Laban to marry Rachel. However, Laban tricked Jacob, and Laban's daughter Leah became Jacob's 1st wife. After 20 years, 2 marriages, and intimacies with maidservants Bilhah and Zilpah, Jacob departed from Laban's land with Leah, Rachel, Bilhah, Zilpah, 11 sons, a daughter, and all the servants and animals acquired while working for Laban. Their departure was according to the will of the Lord God and with the consent of Leah and Rachel. Due to previous circumstances, Jacob did not tell Laban they were leaving. After Laban heard the news, he went after Jacob and his family. The Lord God gave Laban a warning in a dream, and Laban spoke purposefully to Jacob. A few years after Jacob reunited with Esau, Benjamin was born to Jacob and Rachel near Bethlehem (Ephrath) in Canaan, and Rachel died. Approximately 1,900 years thereafter, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born in Bethlehem into the tribe of Jacob and Leah's 4th born son Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, 1 Chronicles 1:1-2:17, 3:1-24, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
