A Friend of Jacob’s
ОглавлениеEdgar Cayce’s opening comments in reading 3851, a Life reading for a thirty-eight-year-old Jewish interior decorator, were:
This is the fellow who fixed all the stakes for Jacob when he changed all the cows, you see, from spots and those that were roan.

The story which Cayce refers to is found in Genesis 30:25-43.
Before that the entity was in the Holy Land in the days when Jacob labored for the daughters of Laban, during those periods when the helpers of Laban chose rather to become helpers of Jacob.
The entity was among those who aided in preparing the places of feeding for the cattle when Laban had set up such and such conditions under which divisions would be made of the cattle or goods.
Thus those things having to do with wood, with blemishes, marks, spots, and things in wood are all of special interest to the entity. Today they may be called other names, but the entity finds that woods of gum and other solid woods that are known for their particular marking are of particular interest to the entity. And in themselves they carry a meaning that is not explained in the entity. But consider, such markings may even control the dispositions of people, as they did the animals. How truly the Lord is one, and moves in mysterious ways His wonders to perform among men. Ye say peculiar interpretations? But it’s one.
The name then was Raoul. The entity journeyed to the Holy Land with Jacob. The entity was particularly interested in the happenings to Jacob when he wrestled with the angels. For the entity was one of those who looked after the son of Jacob when there was fear of the brother Esau, and remember there was only one of that particular group of sons in that particular period—Joseph. And the name means much to the entity in the present.

An intimation of a deep friendship is suggested in Cayce’s response to the following question of 3581:
(Q) What have been my past relationships and what are my present responsibilities with . . . Rosalyn?
(A) In the Holy Land you were very close—yes, companions, and you were very close to Joseph, to Rachel, to Jacob.
