Abstract
The following study looks at a well-known story from the Book of Genesis. Jacob is a central figure in the narratives describing the traditions of early Israel. The relevant text (Gen 29–31) tells the progenitor’s enrichment and growth from a solitary figure into an extensive clan. Our paper draws on the conceptual framework of the social dynamics of ancient Near Eastern nomadism to analyse some of the narrative’s features. Keywords: nomadism, patriarchal traditions, Jacob, the Book of Genesis, archaeology of the nomads
