Back to Through The Bible
CHAPTER 29: JACOB MARRIES
v.17 Tender eyed meant "blue-eyed." Blue eyes were considered a weakness then.
v.23-27 Laban was as scheming as Jacob in giving his older daughter to Jacob in place of the beloved Rachel, for whom Jacob had worked for seven years.
v.27 The seven years work for each daughter was a dowry paid to Laban by Jacob.
v.30,31 Jacob made his preference of Rachel over Leah obvious.
v.32 Reuben means "see, a son".
v.33 Simeon means "heard".
v.34 Levi means "joined".
v.35 Judah means "praise the Lord".
