b'Today, Jacob completes his journey and meets Rachel. Jacob and his father-in-law Laban simply don\\u2019t get along, and let\\u2019s be honest, it\\u2019s not because they are morally upstanding people with a difference of opinions, it\\u2019s because they both practice deception to their own advantage. The daughters of Laban aren\\u2019t too dissimilar, and their pettiness is made apparent in today\\u2019s text. As a means of trying to gain flocks for himself, Jacob practices strange husbandry, proving not only that he has no idea how breeding works, but that it is by the grace of God, not by Jacob\\u2019s skills, that his flocks increase.'
