God is Sovereign in his wisdom and Omniscient. He is also omnipotent and through his Foreknowledge he had was working in the life of Jacob according to the Covenant God had made with Abraham about the promise of the "Seed", that all nations of the earth shall be blessed through him. God was preparing a nation through Jacob and for God to glorify himself, he had mold the vessel and prepare Jacob for his divine purpose. This was not about Jacob and all these women in his life, but God's grace been revealed in a weak vessel for God's glory. It was God fulfilling the Abrahamic Covenant through Jacob and not just his character. God was allowing all these things to happen in his life, so that he could learn how to depend on God and not on his human ingenuity or carnality. It was about growth in his relationship with God and transformation in his belief system. He hadn't experienced the walk with Jehovah God and his spiritual journey was just beginning. At Luz he had a dream, God appeared to him through divine grace as an escapee, but he didn't know much about this God of Abraham and Isaac. God was preparing him for the divine Lessons and getting him ready for purpose of his calling as a patriarch.
