The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 29:31

And when the Lord saw —literally, and Jehovah saw . As Eve's son was obtained from Jehovah ( Genesis 4:1 ), and Jehovah visited Sarah ( Genesis 21:1 ), and was entreated for Rebekah ( Genesis 25:21 ), so here he again interposes in connection with the onward development of the holy seed by giving children to Jacob's wives. The present section ( Genesis 29:31-35 ) is by Davidson, Kalisch, and others assigned to the Jehovist, by Tuch left undetermined, and by Colenso in several... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 29:31-35

Leah and Rachel, or the two wives. I. RACHEL THE BELOVED . "Jacob loved Rachel more than Leah." That Leah was not hated in the sense of being regarded with aversion, the numerous family she bore to Jacob proves; that she occupied a lower place than Rachel in her husband's affections is explicitly declared. This preference of Rachel to Leah was— 1. Natural in Jacob . Rachel had been his heart's choice from the first, while Leah had been thrust upon him against his inclination.... read more

Genesis 29:31. When the Lord saw that Leah was hated That is, loved less than Rachel, in which sense it is required that we hate father and mother, in comparison with Christ, Luke 14:26, then the Lord granted her a child, which was a rebuke to Jacob for making so great a difference between those he was equally related to; a check to Rachel, who, perhaps, insulted over her sister upon that account; and a comfort to Leah, that she might not be overwhelmed with the contempt put upon her. read more

28:10-36:43 JACOB ESTABLISHES THE FAMILYJacob’s marriages (28:10-29:30)Before Jacob left Canaan, God appeared to him in a dream. In spite of Jacob’s shameful behaviour, God repeated to him the covenant promises given earlier to Abraham and Isaac, promising also to bring him back safely to Canaan (10-15; cf. 12:1-3; 26:24). In return for God’s favour to him, Jacob promised to be loyal in his devotion and generous in his offerings. He named the place where he met God, Bethel (16-22).From Bethel... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Genesis 29:31-35

Children born in Haran (29:31-30:24)Jacob’s coolness to Leah created unhappiness in his household. Leah’s desire for Jacob’s love is seen in the names she gave her first four sons (31-35). Rachel, feeling ashamed that she had not yet produced a child herself, gave her slave-girl to Jacob so that the slave-girl might produce a son whom Rachel could adopt as her own. The result was two sons (30:1-8; cf. 16:1-4). Leah, believing she was not able to have any more children, did the same, and soon... read more

"And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her. And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast. And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her. And Laban gave Zilpah his handmaid unto his daughter Leah for a handmaid. And it came to pass in the morning that, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this that thou hast done unto me? did I not... read more

"And Jehovah saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren. And Leah conceived and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Because Jehovah hath looked upon my affliction; for now my husband will love me. And she conceived again and bare a son: and said, Because Jehovah hath heard that I am hated, he hath therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon. And she conceived again, and bare a son; Now this time will my husband be joined... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Genesis 29:31

Genesis 29:31. Leah was hated— The words in the foregoing verse explain this seemingly harsh expression, He loved Rachel more than Leah; this is agreeable to the Hebrew idiom; see Malachi 1:2-3.Luke 14:26; Luke 14:26. The word hate, in the New Testament, is frequently to be understood in this sense, of loving less. Considering the part Leah acted, nobody can wonder she was hated, that is, less beloved than Rachel; while hence we have an argument against polygamy, it bring morally impossible for... read more
