On his way to Haran, Ya’akov stopped for the night at one place,

G-d appeared to him and promised his descendants the land on which he was reclining.

Ya’akov set up a stone as an altar and monument and vowed,

To erect on this place G-d’s House, the Temple, a pedestal for G-d.

Rivka’s brother Lavan gave away his daughters to Yaakov: Leah and Rachel, the ‘reward’ from his uncle.

Leah gave birth to Reuven, Shimon, Levi, Yehudah, Issachar, Zevulun. Yosef gives birth to Rachel,

The maids Bilgah and Zilpah legitimately give birth to Dan, Naftali, Asher and Gad.

Yaakov and his family secretly depart for the Holy Land – to fulfil G-d’s purpose.

Lavan and his posse sets off in pursuit of Yaakov and his family is set upon,

G-d appears to Lavan in a dream and warns him not to do any harm to Yaakov.

Lavan and Yaakov meet on the hill of Gal-Ed and make a peace agreement,

Finally, Ya’akov goes to Knaan, where a pair of angels has been waiting for him for a long time.
