110 Torah Book & Portion, Book of Genesis, Vayeitzei (Genesis 28:10-32:3), Source Book Keys, TELVOL1 GENESIS | 31:1 taken — GEN1326 Envy makes it difficult if not impossible... GEN1326 Envy makes it difficult if not impossible for people to think clearly about the person they envy. Often the conclusions envious people draw are the precise opposite of the truth. For example, Laban repeatedly tried to cheat his son-in-law Jacob, yet Jacob, favored by God, amassed wealth. Laban’s envious sons responded to this by claiming that Jacob “owes everything he owns to our father. All his wealth is at our father’s expense.” [this verse]. In actuality, as the Bible makes clear, it was Laban who was blessed by Jacob working for him.
