The Story of Leah in the Bible | Jacob's First Wife and Her Triumph Over Pain

[@kpopbreezes]

Every woman who felt like this should have a strength like Leah💅

[@BibleStoriesinBlack]

Amen! Her story is inspiring. That's amazing strength!

Amen. I'm learning

[@latashastewart]

I have felt like this my whole life.. never good enough

I never looked at Leah's story in this way. Great insight.

[@ReadyOrNot-zo4rc]

Love listening to stories where the characters actually look like "hair like wool" and "feet like bronze".

[@BibleStoriesinBlack]

Thank you! That is our aim with this channel.

[@irinlee]

I love this story....I had three daughters and divorced in 2009 and now I am planted in local church deeply blessed and highly favored ❤ Praise the Lord 🙌🙏 Jesus loves me Yes I Know...

[@davidchiazor]

Soo true

[@davidchiazor]

The Race that has no resemblance to the Bible Characters has highjacked and whitewashed all Biblical characters except the negative ones

[@KindTiffany]

I'm glad their skin is dark as well, but I have to correct you as it pertains to scripture. The Bible said that Jesus' hair was white like wool(this was after the Resurrection) it does not say that the texture is of wool. The texture is not mentioned...only the color. ❤

[@alexistheengineer]

Wow this is deep! 1. Society bases a woman’s worth on her husband but God showed Leah as valuable even though her husband did not love her. 2. See how God will bless you when you stop seeking validation from man but instead focus on praising God and your relationship with Him ❤️ Amazing lessons

So nice to see black biblical people ❤

[@amuart8997]

This is the problem with us as black people. We are so desprate for representation we don't care about how we are represented. He chosed pictures of BEAUTIFUL black women to portray a woman in the Bible called ugly. So the most beautiful black woman is ugly. This is crap. He could have chosen an ugly black woman but just the fact that she was black was enough for her to be LEAH the ugly one. And why couldn't he just choose an ugly white women. Don't be so desperate because choosing beautiful black women to portray an ugly woman is not a compliment.

[@lidetten]

And she is beautiful in these pictures. Mind you. I have never thought about skin colour when reading my Bible. I more think about nations, tribes and language. Fact is, I don't know if we can for certain say what their skin colour was, except that they most probably look a lot like the middle eastern people, Arabic/Jewish

[@ConfusedProteaFlower-lp5qf]

​@@amuart8997exactly this is actually an insult

[@A.MarquiteGordon]

@Ali-dr9ly the Bible is all about black people. It's black history. Europe is only mentioned once in old testament and it's not a nice mention. White people don't start to show up till AFTER Jesus died and went to Heaven. That's why for hundreds of years if you were caught with a Bible you were burned on a stake. Then they started drawing pictures of whites to portray them as being in the Bible......but they just weren't

[@A.MarquiteGordon]

@amuart8997 both sisters were black and it never says Leah was ugly just that Jacob loved Rachel since he saw her first.

[@SacredEcho-q7y]

I pray to God that whoever watches this video will always be in peace and be blessed with many blessings and good health.

The Holy Spirit hit me hard while watching this. Such a beautiful and powerful story! Our Lord loves us unconditionally, Praise HIM! 😭🕊️✨

That is such a blessing! Yes, He loves us so much! Praise God and God bless!

She will know of her importance in the lineage of the Christ in the resurrection when she comes back during the 1000 yr judgement day. She will have all the love she craved during this life. Almighty God is good

Jesus give me strength. As a single mom and it is hard to have everything on my shoulders.

This story is a clear of example of the passage of Psalm 34 verse 5. “Those who turn their focus to the Lord, shall be radiant and their faces shall never be covered with shame”. Such a relevant message for our society today where . self worth and values are based off of things that have nothing to do with what truly defines an individual.

It’s amazing when characters are portrayed with "hair like wool" and "feet like bronze"-feels so authentic!

[@nataliewalters2759]

That isn’t what the Bible says . It is talking about the Ancient of Days , God Almighty. It says his hair was white like wool and his feet was like burnished bronze in a fire . White in color not in r texture not the people even though many were people of color .

[@teefashion9352]

False. God is literally the LAMB! And the lamb's hair is what? WOOL. God does not mince words. He is THE WORD and every word He uses is with purpose. He meant what He said. Hair white like wool because it was the texture, not the color. He didn't say, white like corn silk. He is the Lamb! Remember that.
