The relationships between Jacob, Esau, Laban, Rachel, and Leah were complicated. It seems like they were all scheming against each other. However, some of them schemed for themselves, while others schemed to further God's plans. While the morality of such scheming seems dubious, other Bible passages such as the Parable of the Talents show that the Kingdom and God's plan are often more complex than we'd like.

Deuteronomy 6:6 — 7, “Always remember these commands I give you today. Teach them to your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and walk along the road. Talk about them when you lie down and when you get up.” The reason so many young people today are confused about the way the world really works is because they have not been taught about who created the world.

Please watch if you missed it live. This is a sermon about the third temple.
So Jacob took a stone and set it up as a pillar. And Jacob said to his kinsmen, “Gather stones.” And they took stones and made a heap, and they ate there by the heap.
Genesis 31:45-46 ESV
Jacob set a single stone and told the other men to pile up stones around it. Are these the nations gathered around Israel? Or perhaps the mixed multitude joined to him? Or the 12 tribes descended from him? Both names given to the marker in v47 mean “witness heap”. Perhaps they are the crowd of martyred witnesses gathered around the faithful remnant of Israel.
