EP 13 - Leah, What's In a Name? - 7/28/17

From the moment she appears in Scripture, Leah is described as having "weak eyes" (Genesis 29:17). Yet Leah was eclipsed by her younger sister, Rachel, who was "lovely in form and beautiful."

Unfortunately, Leah's future husband, Jacob, had eyes only for Rachel. He worked for his uncle seven years in return for Rachel's hand in marriage, yet when the wedding night came, Jacob was so blinded by love he didn't notice the bride sharing his bed wasn't Rachel. "When morning came, there was Leah!" 

 This week, Lavinia really gets down to the nitty-gritty about Leah and what's in a name. Enjoy!
