“And he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods which he had gotten, the cattle of his getting, which he had gotten in Padan–aram, for to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.”
And he drove all his livestock ahead of him, along with all the goods he had accumulated in Paddan Aram, to go to his father Isaac in Canaan. The destination — Isaac in Canaan — is the covenant return. Jacob is going home to the land of promise, to the father not seen in twenty years. The application: the return to the covenant land and family is the end toward which the twenty years in Harran have been pointing.
