/ 3: The boss of business for president Jacob

Jacob, Gordon Gekko a forerunner

Clever, determined, ready to grasp the opportunity and to use every means to achieve its aims. Jacob, when it comes to business Has nothing to envy Gordon Gekko, Michael Douglas, the king of Wall Street (directed by Oliver Stone) and in 1988 he also earned an Academy Award.

Every age has its own hard currency: how to earn millions of dollars Gekko, Jacob accumulates on flocks of sheep and goats, sheep, slaves, slaves, camels and donkeys , removing them to his uncle Laban .

The text of Chapter 30 of Genesis is not clear, but between the lines it is clear that the wily grandson devises a clever trick , of \u200b\u200bcourse, always with the help of God In practice, at a certain point Jacob had an agreement to divide livestock with Laban, his uncle all those white ones with him a spot or a streak. The astute, however, note that the big sheep and goats males, when they go into heat, drinking frequently (perhaps to cool the hot spirits? The author does not explain). If that water in Jacob dips a branch of poplar, the newborns are always a streak or a spot, and therefore belong to him. Miracle? Witchcraft? Genetic engineering? Go, you know. The fact is that Jacob finds himself surrounded by the beautiful big boy tough, prepares the branch of poplar in the water, but if the males are stunted, never mind. Result: in a year or two flocks are streaked and spotted more and more and robust, while there are only four beasts Laban bald and skinny. At that point, realizing that Laban and his sons began to turn the Zebedee, Jacob it runs in a hurry with their wives, concubines, slaves and flocks , benevolent eye of God always protected with a pole so, even the boldest stroke can go to sign.

Jacob remains a great bargain even when returns from brother Esau, whom he had trimmed a colossal rip-off twenty years earlier (see here ). A substantial gift can accommodate even the most unpleasant, Jacob knows this, and to ingratiate himself with the brother you preceded by his servants that bring as 'sop' by its something like 200 goats, 20 goats, 200 sheep, 20 sheep, 30 milch camels with their young, 40 cows, 10 bulls, 20 donkeys , 10 donkeys . I would say that the extreme corruption are all there.

But a boss as it should, if necessary, he can also be ruthless . When her daughter Dina is raped by Shechem prince, son of Hamor King, Jacob reacts perfect Sicilian godfather . He and his sons leave early to run, even pretend to agree with Shechem and Hamor: "You and your fellow citizens will do all males circumcised , give us the right talent, and we arranged the marriage between Shechem and Dinah from friends." I accept silly. Three days after the mass circumcision, however, taking advantage of the weakness of post-surgery foreskin of Shechem, Simeon and Levi, sons of Jacob, enter a drawn sword in the quiet city, kill all the males, loot homes and shall take as booty whatever they find, including women and children . Even Jacob raises the question: "Do not you have a little 'over the top?". The response of the brothers is succinct: "It is not our sister as a prostitute." All we need is a nice fuck! final.

In summary, reading also previous post, we can not confirm that as Jacob is our ideal candidate , a successful model to be admired, as an example and vote because they represent us. What do you think his most important lesson? Respond using the survey right-hand column.
