[1] {and came into the land}
Jacob at Haran becomes a sterling illustration, if not type, of the
nation descended from him in its present long dispersion. Like Israel,
he was: (1) Out of the place of blessing (Gen 26.3); (2) without an altar
(Hos 3.4,5); (3) gained an evil name (Gen 31.1 Ro 2.17-24); (4) but was
under the covenant care of Jehovah (Gen 28.13,14 Ro 11.1,25-30); (5) and
was ultimately brought back (Gen 31.3 35.1-4 Ez 37.21-23).
The personal lesson is obvious: while Jacob is not forsaken, he is
permitted to reap the shame and sorrow of his self-chosen way.

[1] {Jacob, but Israel}
Both names are applied to the nation descended from Jacob. When used
characteristically "Jacob" is the name for the natural posterity of
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; "Israel" for the spiritual part of the
nation. See, e.g.
# Isa 9:8
The "word" was sent to all the people, "Jacob," but it "lighted upon
Israel," i.e. was comprehended by the spiritual part of the people.
See "Israel"
# Ge 12:2,3
