• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Jacob's Family Before this story, we learned about Jacob's journey
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: to Laban. Jacob was affirmed by the Lord that he
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: would be blessed as his father Isaac was, and his
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: father Jacob.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Upon arrival, Jacob.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Met Rachel, and immediately fell in love. In exchange for
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: being able to marry Rachel, Jacob agreed to work for
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Laban for seven years. Now we will learn about Jacob
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: marrying Laban's older daughter Leah first before marrying Rachel and
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: the web of jealousy that bore an entire nation inspired
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: by the book of Genesis.
• 2:17

• 2:37
  Speaker 4: is a powerful guide that shows how every book of

• 2:50
  Speaker 4: to jackgram.org slash Jesus. That's jackgram.org slash Jesus. And thank
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: you for your support. In our previous episode, we learned
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: that Jacob had fallen deeply in love with Rachel, the
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: younger daughter of his uncle Laban. And because of his
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: love for Rachel, he cuts a deal with Laban to
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: work seven years in exchange for Rachel's hand in marriage. Today,
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: we pick up as his seven years of hard labor
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: are coming to an end. But what seems to be
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: heading toward a very happy ending takes a sharp turn
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: into deceit and dishonesty, rivalry and resentment. Jacob, who is
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: the consummate cheater himself, is going to get a dose
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: of his own medicine and learn that what goes around
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: comes around as the cheater is now cheated. His own father-in-law, Laban,
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: is going to get the best of him, trapping Jacob
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: in a marriage to his older daughter, Leah. Jacob will
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: choose to marry both sisters, but only after Laban makes
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: him agree to another seven years of hard labor. And
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: just as Jacob experienced the affection of his mother, yet
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: the rejection of his father, we'll see how he'll now
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: love one wife and despise the other. Spite and favoritism
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: will poison the whole family and bring about a decades-long feud.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: In many ways, Jacob is not even the central character
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: of today's story, but a sad pawn in a war
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: between sisters. It's a messy story, and yet In all
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: of this, you are going to see God's compassion and
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: grace towards Leah, Rachel, and Jacob. So, let's listen now
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: to today's reading.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Jacob had toiled the ground of Laban for seven years.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Jacob counted the months until he could finally be united
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: with Rachel as husband and wife. Daily he saw her
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: tending the sheep and pined after her. Their love and
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: desire for one another burned deeply even before marriage. And
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: as the time approached, Jacob's countenance grew brighter. Finally, it
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: was time. Jacob, with his head held high, approached Laban.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Seven years has passed, and I have worked faithfully for you,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Jacob said. Now give me my wife so that we
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: can make love and build a life together. Laban wasted
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: no time and gathered together all the people for a
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: great feast. Jacob's dream to be with Rachel was finally
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: becoming a reality. Yet Jacob's wedding would not end the
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: way he thought it would, nor would his marriage be
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: the dream come true he expected. Late into the night
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: before the wedding was going to commence, Laban took his
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: oldest daughter Leah and dressed her in a wedding gown
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: and veil to cover her face, for back then it
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: was custom for the bride to be covered. Leah was
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: not adorned with the same beauty as her sisters, Rather,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: she carried herself plainly and did not draw the same
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: attention as Rachel. In Jacob's excitement and revelry with wedding
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: music and wine, he took Leah as his wife. The
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: two of them were one, and Jacob went into Leah
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: for the first time, thinking it was Rachel. Jacob, the
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: man who had tricked his own brother and father into
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: giving up their birthrights and blessings, found himself in a
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: wedding bed with the wrong woman, tricked by his father-in-law.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: The next morning, as the sun just began to rise
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: above the peaks in the horizon, Jacob awoke. The night before,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: he had hardly remembered, but he did remember that he
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: was finally married to Rachel after seven years of labor.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: He turned to his wife and was bewildered to find
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Leah laying next to him. Inconsolable, Jacob bolted out of
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: his tent in a fit of rage. Arms flailing and
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: heart pounding, Jacob pinned Laban to the wall of his tent.'
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: What have you done to me?
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Jacob shouted.' Did I not serve you.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Faithfully for Rachel? Why have you deceived me like this?' Laban,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: knowing he had gotten away with his plan, grinned.' It
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: is not custom for the younger daughter to be married
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: before the oldest daughter,' he said nonchalantly.' You can marry Rachel,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: of course.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: but only if you.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Have served me another seven years.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: Jacob was distraught.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: The trickster had been outplayed at his own game. Jacob
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: agreed to Laban's terms. He had no choice if he
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: wanted to be with Rachel. He married Rachel a week later,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: and then served Laban for another seven years. Jacob and
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Leah had sex for children, but Jacob and Rachel made
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: love for passion. This would send Leah into a spiral
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: of insecurity and spite, a spiral that would ultimately lead
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: to a feud that lasted years. God saw that Leah
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: was despised by Jacob and Rachel and had compassion on her.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: He opened her womb and made her fruitful. Though Rachel
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: was barren and left childless, Leah conceived and bore a
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: son and called his name Reuben. In her heart of hearts,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: she truly believed that if she bore a son, Jacob
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: would love her. So began Leah's desperate mission to fill
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: a void in her life left by her husband. She
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: conceived again and bore a son, and named him Simon.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: She believed Simon was a gift from God because her
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: husband hated her. Leah bore another.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Son, Levi. After three sons, she truly.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Believed that Jacob would love her. Yet Jacob continued to
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: love Rachel, and Leah fell deeper into depression. For a
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: fourth time, Leah conceived and bore a son. His name
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: was Judah, and this time, instead of hoping that another
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: son would make Jacob love her, Leah praised God, thanking
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: him for his faithfulness. After Judah was born, Leah ceased
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: bearing children. Rachel knew that she was barren and hated
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: her sister for giving Jacob sons when she could not.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Rachel's jealousy towards Leah caused her to lash out at Jacob.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Give me children, or I shall die.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: Jacob's anger boiled up towards Rachel, for.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: He too was angry that they could not have children together.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Am I in the place of God? I cannot open
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: and close your womb. So Rachel devised a plan, a
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: plan that hearkened back to Sarah in the wilderness of Canaan.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Here is my servant, Bilhah, Rachel said.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: Go into her, and.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: She will have a child on my behalf. So she
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: gave Jacob her servant, and Jacob gladly slept with her,
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: repeating the sins of his grandfather Abraham. Jacob and Bilhah conceived,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: and bore a son named Dan. Rachel was pleased, but
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: wanted more. Not because she truly wanted children, but because
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: she could not bear.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: The thought of her sisterhood. having more than her.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Jacob and Bilhah continued, and Bilhah had another son on
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Rachel's behalf. With great struggle, I have triumphed over my sister.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: So she named her second son Naphtali. The cycle of
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: jealousy did not cease. Leah to spite Rachel and gain
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: the love of Jacob, gave her servant to be with
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Jacob so they might have more children. Her servant, Milpa,
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: and Jacob slept together and bore Gad, yet Leah was
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: not satisfied. She gave Zilpah to Jacob again, and the
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: two bore Asher. Jacob, caught in the middle of a
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: civil war, made no protests. He sat by and enjoyed
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: the fruit of his wife's insecurities. He refused to care
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: for their hearts or reassure them of his love. No,
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Jacob had no such integrity, a quality he would soon
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: be forced to possess. In the days of the wheat harvest,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Reuben went out and found some mandrakes, a rare plant
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: used for various medical and recreational uses. They were rare
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: and valuable. Reuben brought them to his mother Leah. Rachel
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: wanted some of his mandrakes. and asked Leia if she
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: could have some. Leia was in no mood to be
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: generous with Rachel. Isn't it enough that you have stolen
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: my husband away from me? Now you want my son's mandrakes?
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: Leia protested.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: In exchange for your mandrakes, you can lie with Jacob tonight.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: Will that satisfy you? Rachel said.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: At this point, Jacob was a tool for Leia and
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Rachel's war against one another.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: No more love and no more dreams.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Only spite marked Jacob's household. When Jacob was returning from
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: the field, Leah came out to meet him. I have
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: given my son's mandrakes to Rachel so that.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: You might lie with me.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: So Jacob slept with Leah that night, and Leah conceived
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: a fifth son.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: They named him Issachar.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: The whirlwind of Leah and Rachel did not cease. Leah
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: bore Jacob another son and named him Zebulun.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: Now my husband must honor me, Leah said.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Leah was certain that six sons would prove to be
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: enough for Jacob's love. Yet again she came back empty-handed. Afterwards,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Leah bore a daughter and named her Dinah. God turned
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: his eyes toward Rachel. He listened to her honest cries
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: for a son of her own. Under the moon and
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: blessings of God, Jacob and Rachel made love. And from
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: that love came Joseph.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: A miracle from God.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Even though Rachel had conceived this miracle from God, she
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: still got caught up in the trap all.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: Humans get stuck in, wanting more.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Jacob was fruitful, and his sons were growing to be
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: strong and ready to begin lives.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: Of their own. He decided it would be best to
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: return to the land of his father Isaac.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: He approached Laban and said, I have served you, I
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: have given you grandchildren, and I have cared for your
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: land and daughters. Allow me to leave and return home.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Laban enjoyed having Jacob by his side. Jacob carried with
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: him the blessings of God, and everything Jacob did, he
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: did with excellence. I will pay whatever it takes to
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: have you stay here, for I am blessed because you
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: are here, he replied. Jacob grew tired of Laban and
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: greatly desired to.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: Leave his presence.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: I have given you enough. Everything you have given me
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: to take care of I have increased. Allow me, please,
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: to depart with my own family. Laban agreed, and the
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: two set up arrangements for Jacob to leave with a
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: part of Laban's flocks. The agreement was that Jacob would
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: take the blemished sheep, while Laban kept the pure white sheep.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Laban tried first to trick Jacob and hid the speckled
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: sheep so they would not breed and increase in number. However, Jacob,
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: over dozens of years serving under Laban, had honed the
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: craft of breeding and sheepherding animals. Jacob specifically bred the
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: pure sheep to produce.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: More speckled and blemished sheep.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: Jacob was able to produce stronger and healthier sheep for
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: himself in great number. Laban had tricked Jacob once, but
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Jacob was the ultimate trickster and would not be outdone again.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: So Jacob increased in wealth and influence. With his wives, children,
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: and newfound freedom, Jacob ventured back to Canaan. Yet Laban
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: would not let Jacob go unpunished.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: Jacob works hard for seven more years. Rachel is anxious
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: to marry the man of her dreams. Jacob comes to
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: Laban and reminds him of the deal. It's time to
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: pay up. He does not want to wait another moment
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: to marry Rachel. At first, everything seems to be heading
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: in the right direction, a storybook ending for the young couple.
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: Laban quickly throws a great feast with lots of food
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: and lots of wine, of which Jacob freely partook, no doubt.
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: Needless to say, he was fired up. Perhaps in his
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: haste and with the fuzzy head of one who celebrated
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: too much, Jacob fails to realize that his bride that
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: Laban brings to him is not Rachel, but his older
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: sister Leah. Still, he unites with her, marries her, and
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: seals his fate with her, a fact he realizes with
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: horror and anger the following morning. He forcefully confronts Laban
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: and only then realized that he, the master of deceptions,
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: has been tricked. The trickster has been tricked. Leah is
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: now his wife, but he really loves Rachel, so Laban
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: agrees to let him marry her as well, if Jacob
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: agrees to another seven years of hard work. Well, Jacob agrees.
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: Rachel and Leah become bitter rivals, but God sees Leah's
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: rejection and has compassion on her. He blesses her with
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: a fertile womb, She bears four sons with Jacob and
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: then stops conceiving. With each child, she holds out hope
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: that this new son will cause Jacob to love her,
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: but it never happens. Rachel, for her part, grows increasingly
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: bitter and demands Jacob give her a child lest she die.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: Listen to Jacob's response found in Genesis 30, verse 2.
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: Jacob became angry with her and said, Am I in
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: the place of God who has kept you from having children?
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: This may seem at first to be an appropriate answer,
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: acknowledging God is the giver of life. But if you
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: look at it closely, Jacob is simply denying any responsibility,
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: even blaming God for Rachel's inability to conceive. Rather than
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: pursuing God and asking for the blessing of a child
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: with Rachel, he simply says, it's not on me. This
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: is not my fault. Rachel offers her servant to Jacob,
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: and he accepts, just as his grandfather did, and produces
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: two sons outside of his marriage. Leah follows suit and
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: offers her servant. Jacob again accepts. Like his father, Isaac,
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: he seems nothing more than a pawn in a bitter
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: war between siblings. The Lord then looks on Rachel with
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: a tender heart of compassion and grants her the son
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: which she so desperately desired. This son, Joseph, he will
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: grow into a man who will help save many nations
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: one day. But not before the ugly consequences of this
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: rivalry between sisters and Jacob's lack of leadership rips this
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: fractured family apart. In life, there are many betrayals and setbacks,
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: as in the case of Jacob and his family. And
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: the question becomes, how will you handle setbacks in your life?
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: How will you handle the mess-ups that you have made?
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: Do you keep your eyes upon God and trust in
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: Him in repentance and faith, as Jacob could have done,
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: should have done? It is at this point in our
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: story that Jacob seems to wake up and realize he
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: needs to leave Laban's land and it's time to return
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: to Canaan, the land of promise. Next time, we'll learn
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: how Jacob escapes his entanglement with Laban. Dear God, there
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: are many times that things don't turn out like we
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: had hoped or expected. Sometimes it's our own fault. We
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: can be cheated or cheat others, take advantage of or
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: disappoint others, and be disappointed by others. Help us to
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: continue to trust you and act with integrity, not dishonesty.
• 18:45
