Jacob goes on a journey and arrives at the home of his uncle Laban, the brother of his mother Rebekah. At the well, Jacob meets the love of his life – Laban’s daughter Rachel. Jacob works for Laban for seven years as a bride price for Rachel. However, after the seven years are completed, Laban deceives him by bringing his eldest daughter Leah to Jacob that evening…
Though innocent, Leah receives no love or appreciation from Jacob throughout her life. In this episode, Johan Schep not only describes the circumstances surrounding these events, but also offers a remarkable explanation of the names Leah gives her children – with a beautiful reference pointing forward to the Lord Jesus Christ.
