Theme of the parashah
Jacob departed his father-in-law’s (pagan) household with the blessings God had given him, to return to Canaan.
Finding Messiah in Torah
And Laban was told on the third day that Jacob had fled. Then he took his brethren with him and pursued him for seven days’ journey … Gen 31:22-23a
Three is a sign of Messiah in Torah. The third day is the day of resurrection and new life. Jacob’s life in Padan-Aram, among the idolaters of his father-in-law’s household, had been a life of hardship looking after Laban’s flocks. But by the third day Jacob had broken free from his father-in-law, and by the seventh day, a week representing completion, he was within the mountains of Gilead, on the borders of Canaan … well and truly free. This mirrors our own redemption from sin, death, and all the power of the devil in Messiah Yeshua.
