Of all the human emotions we experience, where do you rank ‘jealousy’ in terms of potential damage to relationships, families, and even your personal soul?

Leah had been given to him deceitfully by her father Laban, after seven long years of work as the dowry price Jacob had agreed to pay. But Jacob was paying that price for the woman he loved, Rachel, and yet on the wedding day Laban dressed his daughter Leah in wedding clothes and veil, so Jacob did not discover the deception until the morning after their wedding night together!
