Jacob become IsraelĪfter the birth of Joseph, Jacob decided it was time for them to move on from staying with Laban. Finally God listened to Rachel and blessed her with a son called Joseph who became Jacob’s favourite son. They were Issachar, Zebulun and a daughter named Dinah. Leah then gave birth to three more children. Leah, not wanting to be missing out, then gave Jacob her handmaid, Zilpah, who bore two more sons called Gad and Asher. Rachel envied Leah and wanted to provide children for Jacob too so she gave to Jacob her handmaid, Bilhah, who then bore two sons, Dan and Naphtali. Leah had four sons: Reuben, Simeon, Levi and Judah. Jacob loved Rachel more than Leah, so God opened Leah’s womb but left Rachel barren. Jacob was angry with Laban but they came to another agreement that Jacob could marry Rachel too and then continue to serve Laban for another seven years. When the seven years were up, Laban prepared a wedding feast but tricked Jacob and gave him Leah, Rachel’s older sister, as a wife instead. Jacob loved Rachel and made an agreement to serve Laban for seven years in order to receive Rachel as a wife. He watered her flock of sheep and went to stay with Laban and his family.
