Genesis 29:15-18 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

How striking is that scripture, in which the Holy Ghost takes notice of this event: Hosea 12:12. Reader! do not overlook in this precious lesson, what interest a covenant God takes, in even the seemingly small concerns of his people.

Genesis 29:15-18

15 And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what shall thy wages be?

16 And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.

17 Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured.

18 And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
