The Deception of Laban (Biblical Stories Explained) 

Jacob married two cousins who are actually sisters. Talk about keeping it in the family 😂

I love Old Testament stories.

And don't forget Jacob's kids (well 10 of them) fooled him when they sold Joseph into slavery to the Ishmaelites... They told their Dad that Joseph was killed by a wild animal... That was a part of the deceiver being deceived again.... When one does bad things, many bad things happen to them as a result... These events were humbling catalysts for Jacob...

This guy is amazing at telling us these amazing history about the biblical time periods your a legend keep it up 👍🏾

Thank you for sharing so much detail. I didn’t realize how deep everyone in the story got into deceit. Glad to know God knows how to navigate us through our own nonsense.

Lábán was like *I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse*.

from the final part of the narration, it seems Jacob didn't have to wait another 7yrs before getting Rachel. He was probably given Rachel just a week after marrying Leah then asked to work 7yrs post-marriage to pay for that.

I truly enjoyed this teaching, because, the message is that what you don’t want no one to do to you, well don’t do it to nobody else

In those days daughters were the property of the father. Highly Patriarchal society in which women had little say on who they married and the father was King/God/Judge/Executioner, so even if Rachel knew about the plan and wanted to tell Jacob, the fear of her father would have stopped her dead in her tracks even if she would have had a rebellious thought against her father, she would not follow through with it.

Daughters were under the authority of their Fathers in those times. Also, Rachel did not want to embarrass her sister so she stayed silent. It is an interesting contrast how Laban deceived Jacob after he tricked Esau. However, Jacob was still blessed as his flock multiplied and Laban paid attention to this.. This is why he did not want him to leave. And thus, it can be said Laban knew Jacob was chosen from God and deceived him for his own personal gain.

So Jacob was one of the first documented simp.

I love this series. Subbed with post notifications on! Continue the amazing work!

Your videos are truly excellent. Please, keep them coming.

Jacob was really REALLY lusting after his first cousin.

As usual another wonderful narration 👍

This was exactly what I was looking for... thank you!

Thank You for sharing this message

Great video!

Jacob's mom and her brother were both sly. Jacob should have known better what his mother did

Jacob and his sister wives. And their attendants. Busy guy.

Amazing, awesome story well read enjoyed it ❤

This was amazing God bless love you dude!

Great insight

Well, I guess Jacob is a lot more like his father in law than his actual father(Issac).

Great story and so easily understood factually accurate thanks❤

I can’t wait until they cover Moses!!

Talk about the old switch aroo lmao 🤣

Another great video 😍👌

See even here GOD is fair, Jacob reaped what he sowed but God still had a plan for Jacob and Jacob had to continue

this breaks the heart...poor leah was never loved as she deserved.....this caused the father (jacob) to not really love his children with leah and her maids but he lov3d his children with rachel joseph (he was sold into slavery and became long of egypt)@benjamin

I love this channel so much especially the videos of Enoch,,would you do a video on the missing18 years of JesusChrist.

Hey that's me!!!

Do you think it’s possible if you can do a video on The Battle of Toba-Fushimi?

So jacob and rachel were cousins?! Sweet home alabama!

You know who I feel sorry for? Rachel. She didn't even get a choice in this lol

Can you do the story of Daniel and the lions den next ?

Laban did not want Leah to stay unwed being undesirable because of her weak eyes. Who better than his nephew, who was potentially wealthy, and a hard worker to marry her off to. This set up Jacob's attitude of reserving his true affection for Rachel, and not the other women. This was even passed onto the children being loved, but not favored; a resentful pecking order. PEACE family, and God bless.

Leah's eyes were red because she was crying all the times because she, as the older sister, was supposed to marry her older cousin Esau. But she didn't want to marry him because he was wicked. So to make Leah happy, Laban tricked Jacob into marrying her.

The lesson of this story was, follow through with gods plan since he knows best

@2:35 Was that Jacob holding a boulder? Man, what a showoff!!!!

Also according to Deuteronomy 7 years is the prescribed term for indentured servitude. Anything beyond that required the slave get his ear pierced. 7 years maybe due to Jacob sold himself into slavery in lieu of a dowry? My thoughts.

This is a bit distorted. The narrative illustrates Jacob as some sort of deceiver. But God loved Jacob and hated Esau (Mal 1:2) . God hated Esau because Esau despised his birthright. Esau didn't want the responsibility of being the oldest son. Knowing this Jacob purchased Esau's birthright for a bowl of soup. What Esau really wanted was the material blessing of his father. But this blessing is for the oldest son who carries extra responsibilities as the eldest son. Jacob did "trick" his father into blessing him with the material items from his father. But this is because Jacob was due the blessings as he was the son who carried the birthright. Since Jacob had taken on the birthright and all the responsiblities, which is due the material blessings of his father. The story illustrates that simply being the oldest son does not therefore mean the eldest son is due all the material blessings. If the eldest son, as Esau was, does not want to be involved in the brithrights, then he is not owed all the other blessings.

Jasher chapter 27:12-13 11 And Esau took those garments and ran into the city on account of Nimrod's men, and he came unto his father's house wearied and exhausted from fight, and he was ready to die through grief when he approached his brother Jacob and sat before him. 12 And he said unto his brother Jacob, Behold I shall die this day, and wherefore then do I want the birthright? And Jacob acted wisely with Esau in this matter, and Esau sold his birthright to Jacob, for it was so brought about by the Lord.

I don't think Rachael was marrying age, when Jacob asked for her hand in marriage. She might have been 9 or 10, so 7 years isn't a big issue. Leah was probably 13 years old so Laban felt compelled to give her away soon after the 7 years. This is why the women had servants because they were too young to know how to take good care of a home.

Amen.

I'm like I get he liked Rachel so much he endured Haddad yards yards but what did Rachel want? They barelytalk about if SHE even wanted to marry him or not even if its an arranged marriage the wife would still express if she liked it or not

One of my fav bible stories as well as the story of Joseph.

That coloured illustration of Laibon standing besides his daughters doesn't seem to paint either girls as having anything particularly unattractive about her. I guess that might have been the point. Jacob can come off in this tale as being rather vain and capricious.

Could someone tell me one detail which I find unclear. Did Jacob have to work for another 7 years to get Rachel or did he get Rachel after ending the week with Leah and accepting his 7 more years of work for Laban? It has been a long time since I read this passage from the bible so I thought to ask for answers here, thank you in advance

What are the soundtrack names

The links of what men will go through for a woman’s chastity is as old as time and still stand the test of time in today’s society because beautiful women will always and forever be a man’s Greatest weakness 😅🤦🏾‍♂️

I never thought of Jacob as scheming, b/c my former religion casts him as favored by God and framed Esau as irresponsible and unappreciative, even wicked. Seems like the bible has a long tradition of brothers in contest for gods favor: Cain and Abel, Jacob and Esau and the other pair escapes memory (from below - Isaac and Ishmael). I wouldn't be surprised if such rivalries were super common in the Middle East due to inflexible inheritance traditions and last rite blessings from dying fathers. You could loosely include the rivalry btw Satan and Jesus and though not related by birth between Moses and the Pharaoh with whom hed been reared, possibly as potential ruler of Egypt.

It must have been common to venture some distance in search of a suitable wife, b/c weirdly this happens twice in the same book and just seems improbable - unless it was a common option yt marry a relative.

I had a dream 2 nights ago. In the dream I heard over and over “Laban paved the way for Jesus”. Seeing Laban as a deceiver, this confused me. But if we really look at this story we can see that Jesus is in the line of Judah. And Judah was the 4th son of Leah. And we can also see in this story that Jacob likely would not have married Leah if Laban gave him Rachel first. Now does this make Laban righteous? Not likely. We see later in the story that when Jacob leaves Laban, and Laban chases him down, he searches the tents for his images. Those images, Laban describes as his gods. So here we can see that Laban was not a man of God. The lesson from this, while the works of satan often appear to work in antithesis of God’s plan. However the reality is that God is so far ahead of satan, satan doesn’t know that his works actually were taken into account for the good of God’s plan.

18:18 so... which ones the beautiful one...

Ya know what they say “ya reap whatcha sow” as much as I wanna feel sorry for Jacob I can’t kept but shake my head at how he deceived his dad(Isaac) and robbed his brother(Esau) of his birthright

Please do the Curse Of Cain and tell everyone that the Catholic Church uses that fictional story to justify being racist

Seem like a family of deceivers!

ballox, he was wasted.. .

14 years gone!!!

That’s deep

Excellent charactures of Rachael & Jacob.

Laban's Focus Devotion Dedication and Miracle or Miracles prevail again 😁😂🤣

Its like a punishment for how Jacob tricked Isaac by swaping his brother with himself in disguise

But then Jacob end up with four wives

There is truth in There is nothing new under the sun. The Bible is The Breath of The Living GOD of Heaven

Why would the father care so much which daughter he gives away to be married, back in those times.

Jacob was kinda nasty

Take into account that Laben grabbed him and kissed him too

Has nothing to do with my family. I have never dated my sister's man. Not ever.

Okay I get it, things(incest) were more acceptable in biblical time, but please don’t say this is the “good book” where we get our morals from!

Im a frail man but when i got to see my crushh... i totally impress her by appearing a bit “ Matcho “ ....jajaja were not sp different from t ancient people after all

More.. more.. more

Karma isn't about doing bad and bad coming back , Karma is about post re-incarnation balance . Nothing to do with the person's same lifetime ... Sorry about that , your videos are great

🤔

If you want the full story, read JASHER CHAPTER 31. 🙏🏾 May God Bless You All!!

😮

Leah was plain looking and possibly didn't have the lively personality that Rachel had (she might have been very humble, silent, and boring)... Men love personalities as much as they love looks. A boring lady does not excite a man... Yet Jacob had 7 kids with her...

😅 got with his cousins just messy

My son is called laban I'm going to show him this I also have a luke and lewis and I'm a mark

12th

No one can ever say that my God isn't just. It's unfortunate, but God disciplines out of love to make us more like himself and less like the world.

Wait, Jacob Married 4 girls from the same house if I'm not mistaken. My man was truly a Saint!

You keep saying that Jacob got just for just..as a deceiver, but how was he a deceiver, wasn't it his mother whom told him to trick his brother and how to..??

In jubilees it states leah’s body was handsome in figure just like Rachel so maybe that’s why he couldn’t tell and back in the day they would have sex in the dark out of respect for each other.

May God Correct Us

Never knew Jennifer Anniston was in the bible

How many books is supposed to be in the bible? 🤔

Jacob married his mothers sisters ....his Aunt's

"having sex with the wrong daughter" D:

Good god the amount of repetition in this one

(41:53) We will show them Our signs in the horizons and within themselves until it becomes clear to them that it is the truth.

If I ever get to Heaven the first thing I want to do is I want to meet Rachel. She must be beautiful for Jacob to work as long as he did to marry her.

It’s too late for Jacob and Rachel but I still detest the will of the tradition against true love... If Laban had permitted it even Sarah forgotten to inform Jacob about it, maybe Rachel could had marry Jacob as Jacob desire her.... Leah never love him she has no proof Rachel stole him from her in fact, it could be the reverse that Leah stole him by deception unbeknownst to Rachel. If Rachel had did insisted they would have been a happy couple.... Leah done out of the duties of God but never for real love she never respected him in the first place either....

The concept of Guilt is evidence that points to humans having been created by an Intelligent Designer rather than a coincidental evolution. Evidence of God. You can pray at anytime, and anyplace, God is always there to listen and Bless you with his Unconditional Love.

Teaching someone A lesson by ruining someone else’s life.That sure sounds like God.

I love this story's but are you a follower of christ my friend for you must, if you do you too will be like son of God and you could be save by loving the truth just believe that Jesus died on the cross belive he died for or sins believe he resurrected read the do the important commande of God read revelation verse in Bible and then thirst for more
