Previously on the Chosen People.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I have not seen my brother in a long time.
I will go to him.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
You will go to him.
Speaker 4 (00:14):
I'm not sure that's necessary. He's merely going to pass
through and only wishes to have peace between the two
of you.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
I go, I go now.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
He so gestured to a few of his men.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Bring four hundred men.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
What did you do to this man to make him hate.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
You so much?
Speaker 3 (00:34):
I wanted more. I was willing to do whatever it
took to get it. Now I have it, and I
fear it will be taken from me. If we are
to survive his side, we must seek God most High.
I'll return shortly.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
In the distance, through the mist, Jacob saw a trail,
it by hundreds of torches.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
He saw me here by DNA. What will I do?
Speaker 1 (01:02):
As Jacob considered these things, he felt a shift in
the air. Someone was there with him. He turned and
saw a figure walking toward him through the twilight haze.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
He saw, I is that you.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Jacob knew what he had to do. He felt sure
that he had to wrestle with God himself and prevail.
The two men converged, bodies clashing into each other like
colliding waves in a storm.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Let me go, the day has broken.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
The man tugged his leg away, but Jacob refused to
let go.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Please, please bless me. I won't let you go until
you bless me. Your name shall no longer be Jacob,
shall be called Israel, for you have struggled with God
and have prevailed.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Every step stne pain shot down Jacob's leg as he
hobbled down to the valley. Each step, although painful, reminded
him of his victory. With that victory and mind, Jacob
descended to meet his brother. Jacob turned to Rachel and
the rest of his family, eyes moistening with anxiety and hope.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Remember to stay behind me, at least a few yards away.
Do not come unless I beckon you. And what do
we do if he attacks? Flee for your lives. Back
to Laban the camel should be able to outrun his men.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
They marched together. Her family built on lies, deception, disguises,
and stolen promises. But perhaps maybe God would go before them.
Perhaps God would move the heart of Esau to show mercy.
Esau's company finally materialized. Jacob squinted to see against the
(02:57):
sun's piercing glow. He saw my with the same bear
like stride he had always walked with. His hairy, broad
barreled chest flexed with every breath as he quickened his pace.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
He's seen us.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Jacob called out to his family behind him and gave
them the signal to cease. Jacob's hip ached, but he
quickened his pace toward his brother. Esau matched his speed,
transitioning from a march to a stride. He was still large.
His muscular frame shook the ground as he ran. Jacob's
pace turned to a sprint. When he was only a
(03:33):
few paces from his brother, Jacob slid onto the ground,
fell onto his face, and.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Bowed, Please have mercy on me.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Brother.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Jacob looked up. Esau didn't soften his footsteps. He continued
to run with determined force.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
He isn't relenting. This might be the end.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Then, to Jacob's dismay, Esau slid into the dirt and
wrapped his brother up in his thick, furry arms.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
I've missed you, brother.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Esau, squeezed the breath out of Jacob.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
You what you missed me? I missed you. You're my brother,
and I missed you.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Jacob couldn't help but laugh under the crushing weight of
his brother's embrace. Slowly, with strained and weak arms from
hours of wrestling, Jacob returned to his brother's embrace, and
that's when it happened. The damn broke. For years, Jacob
held the weight of his guilt for what he did
(04:42):
to Esau. Jacob cherished his birthright and blessing, but he
knew he cheated to get it. But now that he
had wrestled with God, he was a changed man. Tears
rolled down Jacob's face. The two of them wept in
each other's arms for a long while, content to let
sobs fill the silence. Esaw held Jacob's shoulders and looked
(05:07):
him up and down. He placed a hand on Jacob's
face and laughed.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
You finally grow a beer.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Well, you had taken all the hair I had to
travel to find some Uncle Laban probably had blood despair.
Good one, dear brother.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
They laughed and wiped their faces. Esau looked behind Jacob's shoulders.
Leah and Rachel stood a few paces away, with their
children behind them.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Who are these with you?
Speaker 3 (05:44):
My family? Rachel, Leah, come on over.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Jacob gestured for them all to come over. They dismounted
their camels, and carefully padded toward them. Jacob waved his
hand to reassure them everything was all right.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
These are my children. God has been gracious to me.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Yes, very very blessed.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Blessed indeed, brother, and I sent gifts to share in
that blessing.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Why are the gifts, Jacob.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
To find favor in your sight?
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Brother, I have enough, keep it No.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Seeing your face is like seeing the face of God.
You've accepted me when you could have killed me. Accept
my blessing.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Those were the words that Jacob needed to say, and
Esau needed to hear. Jacob needed to give a blessing,
and Esau needed to receive one. It was a beautiful
moment of redemption, one that would have never been possible
if Esau hadn't quieted his need for revenge and I
(06:48):
for an eye would have given him a moment of satisfaction,
but robbed him of the joy he had with his brother.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Brother, come to my village, stay with me, wait, journey together.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Jacob saw the excitement in his brother's eyes. There was
a childlike glee and innocence contrasted with his manly and
tough frame. Jacob sighed. He wanted to say yes, but
knew he couldn't. He was on a mission to Canaan,
and his family couldn't endure the travel back to Esau's land.
(07:22):
He had to move forward, not backward, Especially after everything
they had endured. His family deserved to step into Bethel.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Many of my children are are very young and unable
to travel at your pace. There are many nursing flocks
and herds under my care as well. If I drive
them too hard, they won't make it.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Jacob paused. Even after receiving a new name, Israel, some
old habits died hard. The scoundrel within him that played
loose with the truth took over, and he told another
lie to his brother.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
You go on ahead, go at the pace that suits you,
and we will pay slowly behind until we meet you
and see her.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Esau's grin softened, but the innocence in his eyes remained.
With a warm squeeze of Jacob's shoulders, Esau replied.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Some of my men will stay. They help and protect.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Oh, dear brother, there's no need. I've found enough favor
in your sight.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Okay, brother, I will go.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Esau embraced Jacob again, squeezing a few laughs out of
him before turning to depart. As he left, Leah approached
from behind. We aren't going to see her, are we?
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Ugh, No, we are not.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
What a shame. It would have been nice to meet
the twin who took all the good nature. The words stung,
but they were true. Jacob shook his head, ashamed that
even after wrestling God and having his life saved, he
still could seemed to shake his nature. Just then everything narrowed.
(09:05):
Jacob heard the familiar voice of his God.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Go to the land I have given you, the place
where I met you before return Israel to Bethel.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Jacob led his caravan in the direction of Bethel, but
paranoia nagged at him.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Do I have enough to dwell in Bethel, isolated from
other clans and trade? What if we fall on hard times?
Speaker 1 (09:36):
God had clearly told Jacob to go to Bethel, but
Jacob wondered if he could delay his obedience a little longer.
He turned to his men and gave the command.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Men set the course for suck Off.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Why are we going there? Did God not tell you
to go to Bethel?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
God wants us to thrive in Bethel. I can't go
there until I know we've amassed enough wealth. Suckarth will
be good for trade and partnerships. There's a city there,
sketch him. I think it will be good.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
For us, as you say.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Jacob's people settled there and built booths for their livestock.
Jacob intended to sell some of his herd and use
the wealth to purchase more farming tools. If Canaan was
going to be his permanent home, he needed to figure
out how to farm sustainably. It didn't take long for
the city of Shechem to take notice. Haymoor, the city's chief,
(10:35):
came galloping with his sons behind him. He wanted to
survey Jacob's wealth to determine if he was a threat
or not. Haymoor was a wide jawed man with eyes
too close together. His sons were all tall, thin framed,
and pompous looking. Jacob wasn't impressed or threatened. Haymore dismounted
(10:56):
and greeted Jacob with a smile. His gray beard opened
to a grotesque mouth moistened by fermented goat's milk and wine.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
It would seem a small kingdom has wandered into my land.
Who are you and what's your business?
Speaker 3 (11:13):
I am Jacob, son of Isaac and Abraham. I've come
to settle here on the outskirts of your city for
a time. I don't come empty handed, as you can see,
I have flocks to barter and wool to sell.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
It's been a while since the city saw such a
large household enter at once. I have no doubt your
presence will be beneficial, But there's still a matter of
the price to pitch your tent on my land.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Is the commerce I bring to your city? Not enough?
Speaker 4 (11:45):
You speaking hypotheticals, We don't know your value yet. Son
of Isaac and Abraham, whoever they are.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Jacob turned back to his family. His eldest sons, Reuben, Simeon, Levi,
and Judah stood behind him. They were sizing up the
sons of Hamour, hitching for conflict. Jacob was done fighting.
He wanted ease and peace. He turned back to Hamore
and extended his hand.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
Name your price A hundred pieces of silver up front
for the land, And if you don't prove yourself to
be good for our people, then I'll have my sons
come to shake more out of you.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
That would be unwise.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Jacob gestured to his sons behind him. Haymour's sons puffed
out their chests.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
I don't want trouble, and I promise that whoever blesses
me will himself be blessed.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
We'll see about that son of ah Iglick, Admiral.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
I can't remember Isaac and Abraham. My Lord Haymore, I
pray you will remember when your city is more prosperous
due to our presence.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Haymoor rolled his eyes and jesture to his eldest son.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
This is my oldest Shechem. He'll be back to collect
your rank. I suggest trading him to a meal every
now and again when he visits. He's named after the city,
and he will all be his one day, so you
best be good to him.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Shechem flashed a mocking smile. Jacob could feel his son's
tensing at the sight of him. Hamer and his sons
rode off. Jacob turned, looking at his family's bulking glares.
Jacob wagged a finger and spoke to his boys.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Give that man no reason to hate us, do you
hear me?
Speaker 1 (13:39):
They nodded and left. Jacob sighed as he watched them go.
He knew he shouldn't be here, yet fear kept him
from moving forward. It would be his undoing. This pray
