Bible Bed Time Stories: Genesis 29:1-30:24 by ric gustafson
Jacob walked up to a well. This well was in Haran. This well was where Eliezer met his mother Rebekah. Just then, a young woman herded her sheep to the well for water. Her name was Rachel. She was the daughter of Laban who was Jacob's uncle. Jacob wept because he was so happy to see Rachel. Right there and then, Jacob fell in love with Rachel.
Jacob talked with Laban. In order to marry, he would work for Laban for seven years. Seven years passed. After the wedding ceremony, Jacob lifted the bride's veil. It was not Rachel, it was Leah. Leah was Rachel's older sister. He worked for Laban seven more years. Then Jacob married Rachel.
Jacob had 11 sons. Only one of those sons was Rachel's.
They named him Joseph. Jacob loved him best.
