VER. 12.
And Jacob fled into the Country of Syria, and Israel served for a Wife, and for a Wife he kept Sheep.
GOD by the Prophet here brings in Jacob further, he had spoken of him before (you know) about his wrestling with God and prevailing, and still the Prophet cannot get off from this, about Jacob, because he saw that the people of Israel when they were charged with their 1sins, and threatened with the anger of God, they still had recourse to Jacob their father, and thought because they were the seed of Jacob, therefore God would not deal so severely with them; therefore still the Prophet seeks to take them off from such a kind of Reasoning. And Jacob fled into the Country of Syria.
