In this episode, we explore the complex lives of Jacob, Leah, and Rachel in the land of Haran. Jacob, deceived by his uncle Laban, ends up marrying Leah before his beloved Rachel. After his marriages to both of Laban’s daughters, the sisters have a rivalry as they strive to secure Jacob's love through childbearing. We delve into the struggle, deceit, and tension within the family as the family expands in Haran. Despite the hardship, God's purpose unfolds as the family grows, leading towards the nascent formation of a nation. As Jacob's wealth increases, so do tensions in Laban's family, prompting Jacob to return to Canaan.
