Genesis 29-30 Jacob and his Family – 

What is behind all the questions that Jacob asked the shepherds?  What happened at the first meeting of Jacob and Rachel?  How did Jacob get “out-grabbed” by Uncle Laban?  Why would Jacob not know it was Leah rather than Rachel?  Judah will be the covenant son of promise – who was his mom?  What sinfulness happened and as a result we have the 12 sons of Israel?  What does this tell us about God and His plans with His promises?  How did Jacob “get even” with Laban?  How was this possible?
