Bible: Gen 24:67; 29:18, 20, 30, 32; 34:3
24:67 Then Isaac brought Rebekah 1 into his mother Sarah’s tent. He took her 2 as his wife and loved her. 3 So Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death. 4
29:18 Since Jacob had fallen in love with 1 Rachel, he said, “I’ll serve you seven years in exchange for your younger daughter Rachel.” 29:20 So Jacob worked for seven years to acquire Rachel. 2 But they seemed like only a few days to him 3 because his love for her was so great. 4 29:30 Jacob 5 had marital relations 6 with Rachel as well. He loved Rachel more than Leah, so he worked for Laban 7 for seven more years. 8 29:32 So Leah became pregnant 9 and gave birth to a son. She named him Reuben, 10 for she said, “The Lord has looked with pity on my oppressed condition. 11 Surely my husband will love me now.”
