A #chiasm that spans all of parsha #vayetzei (#genesis 28:10-32:2) is bracketed by Jacob's encounters with angels and centers on the birth of Joseph. Could it be prophetic of Israel's exile in the world and the Greater Exodus to come?

...and this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be God's house. And of all that you give me I will give a full tenth to you.
Genesis 28:22

Jacob set a single stone at Luz because he was still one man. Ultimately, the twelve tribes and two kingdoms of Israel are only one people.

Everything that we have is ultimately from God alone. There is nothing in the world that we can earn or take that doesn't already belong to God.
