Arrow Class: Genesis 31:2

Jacob heard that Laban’s sons thought he had taken all Laban’s wealth, and that Laban was not happy with him either. Laban had asked Jacob to stay because he was being blessed by God because of Jacob, and now Laban wasn’t happy because everything he had been blessed with was being slowly given to Jacob. Today let’s read Genesis 31:2 and grab a handful of small objects. Place them in one pile and say how they represent what Laban owns. Then a little at a time start a new pile using some of the objects from the first. Explaining that Jacob’s flocks came from Laban’s. Add more to the pile until there is more in Jacob’s pile then Laban’s. Then explain that at first Laban was happy to have so much, then sad and angry to be getting less.

And Jacob noticed that Laban’s attitude toward him was not what it had been.
