Joe: Alright, so we’re talking about Genesis 29. What’s this chapter all about?

Bible Expert: Well, Joe, it’s all about Jacob. He is traveling to his uncle Laban’s house and meets Rachel, his cousin and Laban’s daughter.

Joe: Wait, so his uncle has a daughter he’s never met before?

Jamie: (from the sidelines) I’m Googling it… yup, it looks like it’s true!

Joe: Wow! That’s wild! So, what happens next?

Bible Expert: Well, Jacob falls in love with Rachel and wants to marry her, so he agrees to work for Laban for seven years in exchange for her hand in marriage.

Joe: Alright, so what happens after the seven years?

Bible Expert: Well, after the seven years, Laban deceives Jacob and gives him his other daughter, Leah, instead of Rachel. So, Jacob works another seven years to get Rachel as well.

Joe: That’s messed up! So, what happens after that?

Bible Expert: Well, Jacob ends up marrying both of them and has twelve sons and one daughter. This is the beginning of the twelve tribes of Israel.

Joe: Wow! That’s amazing! Thanks for that summary, this was a great episode!
