I think God leveled the playing field by giving one natraul babies first ,since the other was more beautiful and loved . Lots of lessons in this story

At the end of the day the bible is 100% correct when it says, ‘you reap what you sow’ Jacobs sin was extremely severe because he deceived his father Issac into blessings him and stole his brothers blessings and birthright, so leban deceiving him is only a reap of what he sowed. God is just, it doesn’t matter how popular or big a person is, yes he will forgive you and still bless you but you can never run away from the consequences of your actions. You will still pay for what you did, if not you then your children will.And we see exactly that with Joseph and his brothers. If you do evil to others it will destroy you more than it did to them. Greed gets you nowhere Pride gets you nowhere Envy gets you nowhere Jealously gets you nowhere BUT, HUMILITY TAKES YOU FAR IN LIFE!!! Let’s learn from stories like this and not the hard way.

@@brokennation8398 It was deception because Jacob knew his brother was hungry, if he really cared he would of gave him the food for the sake that his brother was hungry, but no, jacob blackmailed his brother into selling his birthright. Please explain to me how that is JUST?! It didn’t stop there. Jacob and his mother pretended to be Easu and cooked a meal only Easu makes for Issac and knew that, that same day Issac was going to bless Easu Issac blessed Jacob thinking it was Easu but it wasn’t. . NOW PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THAT IS NOT DECEPTION???!!!! If you intentionally pretend to be someone you are not, that is deception. If you take something that does not belong to you that is stealing. So not only was Jacob (before he become Israel )was a liar but a thief too. He stole a blessing that did not belong to him. You say that Easu was the deceptive one but please show me a scripture where Easu deceived Jacob?? Genesis 27: 33 -Isaac began to tremble uncontrollably and said, “Then who just served me wild game? I have already eaten it, and I blessed him just before you came. And yes, that blessing must stand!” Genesis27: 34 When Esau heard his father’s words, he let out a loud and bitter cry. “Oh my father, what about me? Bless me, too!” he begged. Genesis 27: 35 But Isaac said, “Your brother was here, and he tricked me. He has taken away your blessing.” Genesis 27: 36 - Esau exclaimed, “No wonder his name is Jacob, for now he has cheated me twice.[a] First he took my rights as the firstborn, and now he has stolen my blessing. Oh, haven’t you saved even one blessing for me?” Issac himself said that Jacob tricked him, a word that can also be used to describe deception. Soo clearly Scripture itself is proving my point that Jacob was deceptive, and that same deception is why leban deceived him and his own sons. I stand by my joint. You reap what you sow. Not saying God will not bless you but you will still reap what you sow because God is JUST!! So you’re right it clearly looks like we’re reading different bibles because your interpretation makes no sense.

We have all been so hungry that we felt like we were going to die. Everything that happened was in The Most High's will or it would not have come to pass. The Most High had already told Abraham and Rebecca that Jacob was supposed to receive the blessing. That's why Rebecca did what she did. The Elder was supposed to serve the younger. Also they were never really loving brothers towards each other they were fighting in the womb. Have you read the book of Jasher? It gives you a more in detail account of what happened between them.

To all the Leahs out there. As some one who has a sister like Rachel, my sympathies lie with Leah. It’s important to realise that God sees and knows all and he is just and righteous and not swayed with favouritism and externals that man is so easily swayed by. Don’t take things into your own hands or seek revenge. Stay faithful to Christ, in due time he will remember you and bless you. How many people were hurt by these two. The hand maids were people too! Look how the were used as objects. And, as we see later, Joseph’s brothers were also filled with jealousy over their younger sibling, how spoiled with love and favouritism Joseph was! So many lessons in this story, yet even today, people haven’t changed we are still those types of people in our hearts.

Is it inner beauty when you conspire with your father to steal your sister’s husband? Leah knew exactly what she was doing and paid the price for it. God had mercy on her, because the price she was paying would have crushed her to the point of uselessness otherwise. And for those saying Leah didn’t have a choice; remember how her aunt Rebecca (Laban’s sister) was told she could deny marrying Isaac? Until you have seen a “Leah” in your church deceive/seduce another sister’s fiancé/boyfriend into marrying her, you will keep pitying her.

What is interesting is that Jacob was later buried next to Leah if I remember correctly and something about the way they were at the end tells me that Jacob did respect and care for her after years together. Maybe she wasn’t what he originally desired but she became what he needed in the end

God pitied Leah and opened her womb while closing Rachel’s to bring her relief.. Jacob did not care for her. 3. Rachel’s womb was closed in the beginning because the 12 tribes would not exist if Jacob had who he wanted. 4. Rachel turned it into a competition and was punished unknowingly. All Leah desired was her husband’s love. 5. In the end both Leah and Rachel were blessed. Leah’s children received the Kingship (Judah) and Priesthood (Levi) and Rachel’s had the Birthright (Joseph) and (10) numerous tribes.

Leah is then given to you and you have to work another seven years for the one you wanted.

If Leah was such a great person and was innocent in Laban's deception, wouldn't she feel awkward about persuing Jacob? And feel bad for him&her sister?

If that were me and I was forced into this scenario...i would have been praying for a way out,Not helping myself to the man my sister is in love with&clearly is in love with her. By all intent and covenant Rachel was his real wife because that is who he loved& made a willing commitment to before God. Leah was against his free will and nothing to do with love or commitment. The love was never hers to begin with, she tried to buy it with children. In that way she actually was trying to steal what was never hers& initiated a rivalry with her sister. being ugly doesn't make you innocent.

People need to stop saying Leah was forced or didn’t have a choice, because she did! Her aunt Rebecca (Laban’s sister) had the opportunity to deny the proposal to marry Isaac, so women having that option was also a part of the family culture. Instead, Leah conspired with her father to deceive a man she had witnessed laboring for her sister for 7 years! God is merciful and compassionate when people are in humble positions, but she absolutely reaped what she sowed and her life should be a warning to any other potential “Leah’s” out there.

In those times, having a husband was the best alternative. Remaing an old maid at the mercy of your relatives was very risky. That is why parents would make huge efforts to find a suitable husband for their dauthers rather than keep them as unmarried. Laban knew Jacob well and realised he was a good man who would treat Leah well even if she didn t love her and he was right. I think a lot of that rivalry in the family was caused by Rachel who couldn t have children and was frustrated by that. JAcob really tried to keep everyone happy regardeless of his personal feeling. And, yes, Rebbeca was asked if she wanted to marry Issac but Rebbeca as beautiful while Leah seemed not being able to find someone wiling to marry her so maybe she was in depair, maybe she wasnt happy that her husband loved another woman more but she worked the best with what she had and seemed to be able to be appreciative for what she had.

Mom used to say having a baby is nothing to be proud of, but raising a child is. Rachel disgrace is not about her actions but about her not having children, it still is like that in certain middle eastern cultures, when a woman doesn't have kids they make her feel less and disgraced. I came from that culture!

True love this story its beautiful its sound great

For both Rachel *and* Leah, you can feel sympathy for both, yet also feel annoyed with the actions they take in trying to compete with each other in winning Jacob's love. Rachel may be considered the more haughty and spoilt one due to her being the more popular and beautiful of the two sisters, yet I also can't imagine the pain she must have felt when the man she loved (or at least I *believe* she loved Jacob as he did her and it wasn't purely a symbol of pride and vanity on her part) being stolen away from her on her wedding day by her own sister. Understandable she'd feel some hurt and resentment towards Leah for that. Though she'd also have to realise that Leban was *really* the one at fault here and could have tried to make peace with her sister for the sake of creating a somewhar healthy and stable home (under the tough circumstances anyway). Though also we also see Leah's pain of rejection due to always being in the shadow of her beautiful younger sister, and having the man she loves love Rachel instead. While she does *expect* too much from Jacob, as she *knew* he worked 7 years for her sister, it doesn't change the fact that it would have been painful to be married to someone who doesn't love you. So while I sympathise with *both* Leah and Rachel, I certainly don't condone their actions of using their maidservants to produce children for them, and using it as a weapon to one-up the other and fight over their husband's love and affections. I feel that Jacob must have had a real pain trying to keep *both* wives happy, especially Rachel the woman he loved. Plus, sharing a husband I'm sure would not be fun for *any* woman. A good reason why God meant a relationship between a man and wife to be monogamous, as a polygamous relationship is often a pit for jealousy and heartache.

The haughty moniker is given by modern feminist interpretations. the Bible gives little explanation to the characters of either women so are left to discern what we can by their actions. Rachael and Leah were the nieces of Rebekah who was described as a woman of character. We assume that Rachael wa haughty because of her looks so why then should we not assume Rebekah was being how she was very beautiful? We al know women who are pretty and homely who have character traits ranging from admirable to loathsome.

It's hard to know if their aunt/mother-in-law Rebekah was the woman they took after in personality or if they were more scheming and selfish like Leban. Though Rebekah herself was also a schemer (which Jacob clearly took after) due to her ploy for Jacob to deceive Isaac into thinking he was Esau so he would get his father's blessing. Rachel is like *both* Rebekah and Leban in that she stole her father's idols and hid them underneath her and using the excuse that she had her period so Leban wouldn't touch her when he went looking the idols. We can't be sure what Rachel and Leah were like in character but it was *very* obvious their was a strong sibling rivalry between them and jealousy as a result of having to share a husband.

Rachel was barren because she was an idol worshiper, she was beautiful yes but putting her faith in her father's fake gods. Leah put her Faith in the Most High GOD, proof of the matter, JESUS came from Leah's lineage, God is Faithful. She was the chosen one. When she died she's was buried next to her husband Jacob.

Rachel was barren and became jealous of Leah. God’s plan was for Jacob to have many children but it ended up turning into a competition between the women.. God specifically opened Leah’s womb and closed Rachel’s in order to fulfill the prophecy of the 12 children of Jacob. 1. God pitied Leah because she cared for Jacob. 2. Had Jacob impregnated Rachel from the beginning, the 12 tribes would not have been born. Jacob could have refused just as Abraham could have. But in both scenarios the men desired children. Therefore they sleep with extra women. And it is easier in the relationship if it’s the wife’s idea and not the mans.

He's a foreigner - to tie him down with multiple families was to guarantee his need to stay and work in their land. The bible doesn't show a rivalry, but a breeding competition - something country folk do to this day. Had they any hostility over him, one would not have sold him to the other for mandrakes...

How so monumentally depressing for her. Truly sad.

Rachel is an example of desired love she thought that by not having children her husband would not desire her but he had the love there for Rachel even though she was barren. The main lesson here is humility. It was only until Rachel became humble she got a child when she realized that it's not about competition and vanity but all must humble before God and receive. A telling and useful tale.
