Questions for reflection on Genesis 29:

1. What do we learn from the continuous deception associated with Jacob’s story?
2. What might this story teach us about love?
3. Can you relate to the family dynamics of preference, deception, competition, and jealousy? 
4. What do you think it means that God’s chosen people come from such a family dynamic?
