Arrow Class: Genesis 30:37 We learned that Laban had promised Jacob certain animals in his flock, then he took them away before Jacob could get them! So Jacob had an idea. It started with branches from trees! He found some poplar, almost and plane trees and peeled back strips of the bark to make light and dark stripes! Today let’s read Genesis 30:37 and find some branches! Then demonstrate for you Tiny Arrow the color of the inner wood by peeling back some of the bark with a tool! Jacob, however, took fresh-cut branches from poplar, almond and plane trees and made white strips on them by peeling the bark and exposing the white inner wood of the branches. Genesis 30:37

Arrow Class: Genesis 30:36 Laban tried to trick Jacob by taking away all the animals that he was going to give him as payment for looking after the animals. He even made sure Jacob would not notice the missing animals by moving them a long way away from Jacob. Laban gave the animals to his sons and had them go on a three day journey away from Jacob so he could not see them! That’s almost like taking the animals to the opposite side of the Houston! Today let’s read Genesis 30:36 and take your Tiny Arrow outside and see how far they can see. Then walk a little and ask if they can see anything better or new. Then tell them how hard it would be to see something that would take days to walk there! Then he put a three-day journey between himself and Jacob, while Jacob continued to tend the rest of Laban’s flocks. Genesis 30:36

Arrow Class: Genesis 30:35 Laban told Jacob he could have all the speckled or spotted sheep and goats, and the dark-colored lambs, but before Jacob could pick them out Laban took them and gave then to his sons. He had told Jacob he could have them, then took them away before he could claim them. Today let’s read Genesis 30:35 and color the coloring page. That same day he removed all the male goats that were streaked or spotted, and all the speckled or spotted female goats (all that had white on them) and all the dark-colored lambs, and he placed them in the care of his sons.

Arrow Class: Genesis 30:34 Jacob wanted all the speckled or spotted sheep and goats, and the dark-colored lambs as payment and Laban agreed. This is like a work contract. You do something for payment, and afterwards you get paid. Today let’s read Genesis 30:34 and fill in and make a contract with your Tiny Arrow. “Agreed,” said Laban. “Let it be as you have said.” Genesis 30:34 Coloring page link http://arrowclass.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Contract.pdf

Arrow Class: Genesis 30:33 Jacob wanted payment that would be recognized as his, so Laban would know that it was not taken. Today let’s read Genesis 30:33 and grab a pretend or real dollar. Write or draw something on the dollar and explain that if you give them the dollar as payment, it has distinct markings on it. No one could say that it was not theirs because it looks different then all the other dollars. “And my honesty will testify for me in the future, whenever you check on the wages you have paid me. Any goat in my possession that is not speckled or spotted, or any lamb that is not dark-colored, will be considered stolen.” Genesis 30:33

Arrow Class: Genesis 30:31-32 Laban asked Jacob to continue working for him, and Jacob wanted animals from the flocks to be his payment. He wanted the speckled or spotted sheep and goats, and the dark-colored lambs. Today let’s read Genesis 30:31-32 and circle the animals Jacob wanted as payment! “What shall I give you?” He asked. “Don’t give me anything,” Jacob replied. “But if you will do this one thing for me, I will go on tending your flocks today and watching over them: Let me go through all your flocks today and remove from them every speckled or spotted sheep, every dark-colored lamb and every spotted or speckled goat. They will be my wages.” Genesis 30:31-32 Coloring page link: http://arrowclass.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Jacobs-Payment.pdf

Arrow Class: Genesis 30:41-42 Jacob wanted to make sure that if he was growing his own flock, they were strong! So he only used the branches with the strong animals! This meant he had a strong flock and Laban had a weak one! Today let’s read Genesis 30:41-42 and demonstrate being strong and weak for your Tiny Arrow by trying to lift something up! Whenever the stronger females were in heat, Jacob would place the branches in the troughs in front of the animals so they would mate near the branches, but if the animals were weak, he would not place them there. So the weak animals went to Laban and the strong ones to Jacob. Genesis 30:41-42

Arrow Class: Genesis 30:40 The baby animals that were now streaked and spotted were Jacob’s! Now he had his own flock, and Laban had his! Today let’s read Genesis 30:40 and color the coloring page of Laban’s and Jacob’s flocks! Jacob set apart the young of the flock by themselves, but made the rest face the streaked and dark-colored animals that belonged to Laban. Thus he made separate flocks for himself and did not put them with Laban’s animals.

Arrow Class: Genesis 30:38-39 Laban had kept Jacob’s wages from him, so Jacob decided to make his own! Back then it was believed that if you put striped wood before flocks they would make that color animal! For example, striped wood would make stripped sheep! Today let’s read Genesis 30:38-39 and color the coloring page to determine the color of the sheep! Then he placed the peeled branches in the watering troughs, so that they would be directly in front of the flocks when they came to drink. When the flocks were in heat and came to drink, they mated in front of the branches. And they bore young that were streaked or spotted.
