In this episode, we explore the complicated story of Jacob, Laban, and the deceptive marriage switch that changed everything. After working seven years to marry Rachel, Jacob is shocked to discover he’s been given Leah instead. Was Laban justified in his actions based on custom, or was this pure manipulation?
We examine the cultural norms of marriage, the consequences of deception, and how this moment fits within a larger biblical pattern, where the deceiver becomes the deceived. What does this say about justice, irony, and God's unfolding plan through imperfect people?
Join us as we unpack Genesis 29 and wrestle with the moral and theological implications of Laban’s choice and Jacob’s response.
