Genesis
Patriarchal arc
Jacob
Genesis 26–36
The covenant moves through deception, wrestling, and a new name; the household becomes a nation in seed form.
Macro position
The covenant survives a generation of human failure. Jacob is the proof that God’s promise carries the family more than the family carries the promise.
Christward Trajectory
Jacob’s ladder is the open heaven Jesus claims in John 1:51 — the meeting place between God and man is a Person.
