Genesis 29 · Grade 2

Jacob Works for Rachel

Name Date

Read the Story

Jacob came to a well. Some shepherds were there. Then Rachel came with her father's sheep. Jacob rolled the big stone off the well and gave her sheep water.

Rachel's father was Laban, Jacob's uncle. Jacob loved Rachel. He offered to work seven years so he could marry Rachel. Seven years felt like just a few days because he loved her so much.

But Laban played a trick. He gave Jacob Rachel's older sister, Leah, instead. Jacob had tricked his own father, and now he was tricked. Jacob worked seven more years for Rachel. God saw that Leah was sad, and God was kind to her.

Memory Verse

“Jacob served seven years for Rachel. They seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had for her.”
