ATLAS OF THE HOLY LAND

Jacob's Journey Home (c. 1761 BCE)

Genesis 31–35
After 20 years in Haran, Jacob set out for Canaan with his wives, children, and large flocks. Along the way he met angels at Mahanaim, wrestled with an angel at Penuel and received the name Israel, purchased land at Shechem, and finally built an altar to Jehovah at Bethel — walking the same path as his grandfather Abraham, yet a journey from flight to homecoming.
