“Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham. Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.” So those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.”
Galatians 3:7-9 NIV
Chapter 29 starts off with a symbol of Jesus... a well that waters 3 flocks of sheep (at the time until the rest of the flocks are gathered)... and jacobs successful journey to his uncle Laban. After a month of working Jacob asks to work 7 years for Rachel... that's amazing... and his uncle deceived him by giving him Leah instead and then Rachel for working another 7 years.... but i think the main point is that 7 years is a long time to wait for a wife, a. And also a long time to work for a wife, b. And when Jacob was deceived he made no curses toward his uncle or did anything out of anger, even though I personally would be quite angry. He is a very faithful and obedient example for us. What was your take?
