Laban

Success On “The Way” Ask Dr. Jeanette- ‘Heir To The Eternal Dynasty’: ‘A Love Story’

Jacob was in love with Rachel from the first that he met her. She was very beautiful. Jacob wanted her so much that he told her father, “I’ll work for you seven years if you’ll give me Rachel, your younger daughter, as my wife.” This made Laban very happy. So, he said, Stay here and work with  me.” This, of course was a tempting offer to Laban, his uncle; because one would suspect that he then knew that Jacob would be free labor for him all those years. Jacob worked seven years to pay for Rachel; but to him it seemed like only a few days. His love for her was so strong.
