Jacob, Rachel and Leah for Kids: Bible Story & Printables
The story in a nutshell
Jacob came to a well in the field, rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother, which Rachel kept, the daughter of Laban his mother's brother. Jacob loved Rachel and said, "I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter," and they "seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her." But Laban made a feast and brought Leah, the elder, to him instead, and when Jacob asked, "wherefore then hast thou beguiled me?" Laban said, "It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn." Laban gave him Rachel to wife also, and Jacob served with him yet seven other years.
