Reading for March 10th

Read Genesis 29.1-30 Jacob marries Leah and Rachel.
Jacob the deceiver (ch. 27) meets his match in his uncle Laban, who deceives Jacob (v. 25).
Jacob agrees to work seven years in order to marry Rachel.
Laban tricks Jacob into working for him for twice as many years (14 years).
Jacob also ends up marrying both of Laban's daughters instead of only Rachel,
the wife he truly wanted.
In verse 17 the Hebrew word for lovely is unclear and may also mean weak or unattractive.
This may partly explain why Jacob preferred Rachel over Leah (v. 30).
