AARON’S GOLDEN CALF OFFENDS THE LORD

Aaron’s golden calf offends the lord. The LORD said to Moses, “I have seen this people, and behold, they are a stiff-necked (stubborn, rebellious) people. Now therefore, let Me alone and do not interfere, so that My anger may burn against them and that I may destroy them; and I will make of you (your descendants) a great nation.”

JACOB BLESSES EPHRAIM AND MANASSEH

Jacob Blesses Ephraim and Manasseh. When Israel [who was almost blind] saw Joseph’s sons, he said, “Who are these?”
Joseph said to his father, “They are my sons, whom God has given me here [in Egypt].” So he said, “Please bring them to me, so that I may bless them.”

JACOB FLEES FROM LABAN

Jacob Flees from Laban. Jacob noticed [a change in] the attitude of Laban, and saw that it was not friendly toward him as before.
Then the LORD said to Jacob, “Return to the land of your fathers and to your people, and I will be with you.”
