The Life of Jesus Christ for the Young, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint) Hardcover – January 18, 2018

Excerpt from The Life of Jesus Christ for the Young, Vol. 2A covenant means a bargain, or agreement made between two or more persons. One of these persons promises to do certain things, provided that the other will do certain other things. For example, we read in Genesis, twenty-ninth chapter, about Jacob going to live for awhile with his uncle, Laban, in Padanaram, where Abraham had formerly lived. Laban and Jacob made an agreement or covenant with each other. Jacob wished to marry Rachel, one of Laban's daughters. Laban said, you shall have my daughter on these conditions: if you will serve me for seven years, as a shepherd, taking care of my flocks of sheep, then, as soon as the seven years are ended, you shall marry Rachel, and have her for your wife.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
