Questions

1) Do you think this dream is like a divine “seal of approval” on Jacob’s behavior up to now? Or is it an “in spite of”? Or something else? Why do we say this?

2) Do you think that Jacob has moved into a genuine personal relationship with Yahweh? Does this tell us anything about God, that would relate to us? What is that?

3) What application can you make in your own life from this story?
