Negative Positive
Title: Not Biblically correct
Review: This author attempts at deving into the Biblical story of Jacob, Leah and Rachel. The Author has Laban as an old bumbling inhospitable person BUT the Bible tells us in Gen 29:18 "he (Laban) ran to meet him (Jacob)". The author also says that Leah had eyes two different colors, the Bible says "she was tender-eyed" in Gen. 29:17. In the author's version Jacob only worked 7 months for Rachel and then Rachel convinced Leah to go first because she was afraid. Wrong! Jacob worked 7 years for Rachel and because Leah was the older, Laban her father, made a switch and gave Leah first to Jacob and he was NOT happy. He then worked 7 more years for Rachel. The account of this real story is in Genesis 29. This book is not appealing to me, because I know the Bible story, but unfortunately those who do not will believe this is the truth.
Is the review positive or negative?
