Shepherd. Younger sister. Loved.

Laban’s younger daughter, from Haran. I looked after my father’s sheep. Jacob met me at the well, rolled the stone away on his own, and kissed me and cried. He worked seven years for me, and got my sister first. I waited years for a child of my own. Mother of Joseph and Benjamin.

Haran, in Paddan-aramFirst seen Genesis 29:6

  • Meeting Jacob at the well (Genesis 29:9–12)
  • “Give me children, or I will die!” (Genesis 30:1)

Brought my father’s sheep to the well, and a stranger rolled the stone off by himself and watered our whole flock. Then he kissed me and burst into tears. Turns out he’s my cousin.

Told Jacob: give me children, or I’ll die.

God remembered me. A son. God has taken away my shame. His name is Joseph, which means may he add. May the LORD add another.
