Genesis 28:10-15 And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.… I. THE WEARY WANDERER. 1. Homeless. 2. Regretful. 3. Apprehensive. 4. Disappointed. II. THE WONDROUS VISION. III. THE WILLING VOW. Rather a response to God than a bargain with Him. Lessons: Note how Jacob, in this journey, may represent three stages in spiritual experience. 1. The penitent; feeling the burden of sin. 2. The believer; rejoicing, with trembling, in God's revelation of mercy. 3. The worshipper; consecrating his whole life to the service of his God and Saviour. (W. S. Smith, B. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran. |
