Jacob’s Process
Gen 30:35 – 31:5
Jacob begins building wealth through a process of selective breeding.
Laban and his sons are frustrated as they see Jacob increase. The wisdom they lack dooms them. Yet, no one seeks the wisdom in order to replicate the success. Envy drives the clan toward what appears to be an inevitable separation. Thus, Laban and his sons will likely be denied both the wealth they perceive should be theirs, and the wisdom by which they could achieve it for themselves.
Wealth follows wisdom.
Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness and all these things will be added.
