“And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padan–aram;”
And that Jacob had obeyed his father and mother and had gone to Paddan Aram. The description of Jacob as obedient — to his father and mother — is the contrast with Esau's pattern of disregarding covenant instruction. Jacob obeys the direction given to him. The application: obedience to parental covenant instruction is the beginning of the covenant life. Jacob goes where he is sent.
