You know the old saying, "What goes around comes around."
Well, it's happening here.
Jacob had tricked his brother, Esau, out of not only his inheritance (when he traded him the bowl of stew for his inheritance). He'd also tricked him out of his father's blessing (when he dressed in some of his brother's clothing and fastened the hairy skin of a young goat on his hands and neck to fool his nearly blind father, Isaac).
Then his father-in-law, Laban, tricked him by giving him Leah rather than Rachel as his wife.
